Physicians Formula Powder Palette Mineral Glow Pearls - FIRST LOOK

 Oh hey! So today I'm going to be doing kind of a "first impression" blog post for the Physicians Formula Powder Palette Mineral Glow Pearls highlighter. I picked this up from the grocery store the other day but I've been eyeing it FOREVER. I was just really in the mood for a change in my normal face routine and I suppose a different highlight was just what I needed. 

 

This is not a new product to the shelves, it's been out for quite a while. From what I've seen, the highlighters come in three different shades, Light Bronze Pearl (light skin tones), Beige Pearl, Translucent, and Bronze Pearl (medium skin tones). I picked up the Medium Skin Tones (even though I'm extremely pale at the moment) because I thought the mixture of colors was the most appealing and something a little different to add to my collection.

The packaging was one of the elements that first attracted me to the product. The top has a really cute little pearl in the middle and the product itself looks like a swirl of big and small pearls. The compact flips the product up to reveal a mirror and small brush space underneath. Usually I really like it when a powder comes with these features because it makes it so easy to touch up on the go. I honestly don't really like the extra features for the highlighter because I'm never really going to have to touch up my highlighter, and the packaging is a little too bulky to carry around in a clutch anyways. I think it's good to have a little brush though for people who may want to have a separate brush just for this highlighter.

 The Bronze Pearl has swirls of a luminescent yellow gold and a darker brown. When I first used it I thought it was a little flakey and may have had too much shimmer and glitter specks in it. I found that if I use a different brush and a lighter hand in applying, it goes on very smoothly and it adds a highlight as well as a beautiful glow to my face. I can go more into detail and swatch this product if it's requested.

If you ever have a request for a post or want me to hunt a product down, just let me know!

Maybelline Color Sensational Lipsticks VIVID Collection

  I was in Kmart the other day just looking around and checking to see if there were any good makeup sales, when I came across a Maybelline Lipstick display up on a high shelf. I looked closer and soon realized it was a collection of the Color Sensational Lipsticks in 'Vivid' colors. I looked up the collection on my phone and found out it's a collection of the lipsticks, supposedly being released in January 2013. Looks like I got myself a catch! The display was up on a high shelf, as I mentioned, so it was difficult to see all of the color choices. I got some decent pictures with my phone.

The collection is basically a bunch of crazy bright colors, great for daring women like myself. Just by the bright neon red packaging, it already gives off an exciting vibe before it even touches your lips.

It was difficult to get a good picture of the color choices, but then again, the collection is scheduled to come out in January and I'd hate to spoil the collection for anyone! For me, half the fun of a new collection is finding it and exploring the colors! I ended up picking up three, which is amazing since they were all beautiful! 

After pondering though my choices for twenty minutes, I finally decided on Shocking Coral (a very bright coral pink color, similar to MAC's Viva Glam Nicki, maybe a little darker), Vibrant Mandarin (a red-orange not like anything I own, comes out to be a light-red coral color), Vivid Rose (a bright pink rose, there's really no other way to describe it!) and Neon Red (a light red-orange that comes out a darker orange-red than the bullet shows). I decided to stay away from the bright fushia and purple colors for now, just because these seemed more wearable for a high school student. If you'd like to see swatches, let me know!

Priced at $6.99, these new lipsticks are really to die for if you're into color. And if not, try something new! I have a feeling that this summer and spring are going to be full of bright and exciting lip trends, and now, vivid.

I may post swatches of the few that I picked up in a few days if there is any interest. Hope you enjoyed and good luck on your search!


If there is ever a product you'd like me to try out or go on a hunt for, please let me know!
