Christmas Wishlist(Make up)

I thought I'd make and post a wishlist of the products I'd like to get for Christmas.  Polyvore is an easy way of doing those and it's quite fun too :)
So, getting back to the list: 1) Estee Lauder eyeshadows-the colours are just great and the packaging looks expensive and christmassy
                                             2)YSL blush radiance in 06- saw it in the store and fancied it from the first glance
3)NARS Blush in Desire- pink pink PINK!
                    4) Bobbi Brown lip balms- always wanted to try those
5)Dior matte bronzer
That's about it really. xx

Bourjois highlighter in 96 Rose Universel



The story of highlighters continues and now we have one from the Bourjois cosmetics range.
The shade as you can see in the picture is 96 Rose Universel and retails in drugstores for about £ 7-8. However, I got it from Tkmaxx in a set with a concealer and a plumping lip gloss which was £6 for the whole set,I felt quite lucky that day ))
I used this highlighter just once, for my taste it's too glittery. I prefer more of a cream or liquid finish highlighter,but can definitely use this one as an eyeshadow for a night out or something.
I wouldn't recommend buying it for the full price,because it's kind of a little pot and you can get so much better for this price from another brand, but if you find it really cheap like I did use it as an eyeshadow.

NARS Orgasm Illuminator-product review

I haven't tried many highlighters in the past, but I knew that if I'd buy one in the future it would be a Nars one. Before actually going to the counter and swatching all the shades I was thinking of getting Copacabana. However, the Nars make up artist, when I told her I want one of these highlighters, said that Copacabana is the strongest one(pigmented and in your face), Laguna is for a bronzier look, actually do not remember what she said about Super Orgasm I guess it's the second one to more natural look. And finally the one I got Orgasm is the most natural one and looks more settled and subtle too. So,funny thing, aiming for the most strongest and in the end getting the most natural one ha!

I didn't like it from my first application, but I knew I had to give it a chance and I'm really glad I did. It is really natural,catches the light perfectly making your face more lighter and alive.
Having normal to dry skin I really prefer a creamier or liquidy formula instead of a powder.
I tried mixing it with my foundation but it didn't really work, you could really see the shimmer all over the face,or maybe I just put too much of it.
Overall, I recommend this highlighter/illuminator for it's subtle look and consistency. Actually the colour of the product in natural light is just gorgeous!
I paid about £21 and it's going to last me a long time,as you need just a tiny bit of it every day.
