I was so happy to see my Stila delivery in the mailbox this morning-right in time for the function I had today. Yaaaasss.
So I got 2 Magnificent Metals Shadows, the Heavens Hue trio Highlighter (the “putty” highlight) and a free Stila Huge Mascara.
Here’s the entire haul. The mascara isn’t full size-they weren’t clear about that. It was free though so I’m not complaining!

The Ballet Baby is a soft pink with shimmer and glitter. I will say it’s a little patchy at first, but it’s buildable and the patchiness goes away when you use 2 or so coats. It’s a really pretty pink.
Sea Siren is gorgeous. These photos do it zero justice. It’s got pink, blue, lavender, and gold plus shimmer and shine. Definitely a DuoChrome effect. Not as patchy as Ballet Baby.

The highlighter swatched-first is Transcendence, then Kitten, then Bronze. Finger swatches do this NO justice. Once you apply it to the face? Holy crap. It’s stunning.
Here I am in the Sea Siren earlier. Love love it.
The mascara is exactly like Too Faced Better Than Sex, down to the wand. Exaaaaaactly.
There you have it! It was a shiny day!
Talk soon Lovelies

I usually stick to powder shadows as well but these are so stunning for a change up every once in a while.

Very nice…do they dry down so they aren’t tacky? I’ve yet to try any of the glitter or shimmery liquid toppers for that very reason. That, and the last 2 Morphe palette’s I got have so many shimmer shades that I pack them on the lid for that effect.
You’re really getting good at the wing…nice job.

They do dry down to complete dryness-not tacky whatsoever. I’ve heard some ppl complain about fallout but I’ve never had any problems with any shade.

And thanks! I’ve got a little ways to go with the wing and getting it razor sharp but my problem is blinking. So obnoxious. To clean it up, I put a dot of eye makeup remover on a q tip. Works like a charm!

Allie- I have a question… your cheeks look so fabulous and natural in this photo. How do you do them like that?
I have the fancy-pants Veil Hour glass primer that Maisey suggested. I have NARS Orgasm blush we have discussed here. I have NARS the multiple Luxor highlighter plus Laura Mercier powder highlighter #1 (I think).
I still can’t get my cheeks to look that natural! I use the Sephora foundation, although it’s time to put that away and start self-tanning on my face.
Will you do a video showing us how to make your cheeks and face look so natural? I feel like I LOOK like I have make-up on, and I prefer a natural looking glow like you have.

Awww-thank you! I used that Bourjois foundation in Vanilla 52-but it’s only available in the UK. Then elf setting powder-and Lorac Cheek palette using Golden Hour for bronzer and Wavelength for blush. Then whatever highlight. That’s it! But I’ll try and do a tutorial ❤️
