Physician's Formula Butter Highlighter Review 
First Butter Bronzers, then Butter Blushes, only makes sense that Butter Highlights are to follow! I'm always super excited about any new drugstore highlights and the Physician's Formula Butter line has impressed me so I had high hopes. That being said, I need WAY MORE shades of the Butter Bronzer, but that's for another day. Let's chat Physician's Formula Butter Highlights. At this time I don't have information on the launch in Canada but stay tuned. See the highlighter in action in this YouTube Tutorial
Phycisian's Formula Butter Highlight Review 
The Physician's Butter Highlighters will retail for around $11 USD and come in 4 shades, with an exclusive online only 5th shade. The packaging is slightly different than the Butter Bronzers and Blushes, it has a screw off top so make sure you close it tightly. The formula is similar to that of Coloupop's original formula, this bizarre powder, cream, almost gel. I recommend using a more dense brush, or you can use your fingers. I prefer this to the Colourpop formula.

The swatches don't do these justice, these are, SO GOOD. Rival a high end glow, no glitter just a super intense wet look on the skin. I also appreciate that they come in several different shades and cater to more skintones better than the other lines that Physician's Formula puts out. Highly recommend you give these a try!

Becca Apres Ski Glow Face Palette

Becca Apres Ski Face Palette Review
Becca Apres Ski for Holiday 2017 is a beautiful collection, see the Apres Ski Eye Lights Palette Review. The Glow Face Palette is one of my favourite holiday launches this season. It's limited edition so if you want it, grab it! For the most part, holiday face palettes are a miss for me, the bronzer is always far too light. Not the case this time. See it in action in my Instagram Tutorial
Becca Palette Holiday 2017
The Becca Glow Face Palette retails for $54 USD and contains 6 face powders, 4 existing shades and 2 new shades. Overall, the quality of these powders is the same that can be expected from their single pans of products. Nothing worse than when brands release crap for the holidays knowing that people will buy it either way. The new shades to the palette are a Shimmering Skin Perfector in Icicle and Mineral Blush in Winter Berry. Although Icicle is a little lighter of a shade than I would normally go for it's a total fit for the holiday theme and a unique shade. Winter Berry is a great mid tone pink blush with a hint of berry, seems pretty universally flattering. The other shades all exist and are great, I especially love the Sunlit Bronzer, I have 2 of the singles and can't stop using them. 
Becca Glow Face Palette Swatches Holiday 2017
I think the Becca Apres Ski Face Palette for holiday 2017 could make a great gift, be it for yourself or someone else. I'm about an NC42 at MAC for shade reference, or Cafe in the Becca Ultimate Coverage Complexion Creme. If you're any darker than me the bronzer may not work for you, I wish brands would release at least two versions of any face palette to make it more accessible. That being said, I love it for me.

Maybelline Super Stay Foundation Swatch Comparisons

Maybelline Super Stay Full Coverage Foundation
 Maybelline recently launched (or re-launched) the Super Stay Foundation, I love drugstore foundation so I'm super excited about this! I thought it may be helpful to show you some swatch comparisons to other foundations that may help you figure out your shade. 
New Maybelline Super Stay Foundation Toffee 330
The Maybelline Super Stay Foundation retails for $15 on the Ulta website, contains 1 full fluid ounce and comes in 16 shades. It claims to be full coverage, long wearing and breathable. I wear an NC42 in MAC so the Maybelline Super Stay Foundation in 330 Toffee is slightly too dark, I've worn 330 in the Fit Me before but I would have preferred it be lighter. Once it comes to Canada I will pick up one that matches better. 
Maybelline Super Stay Foundation Swatches and Shade Comparison
As you can see it is pretty spot on the the Maybelline Fit Me in 330, yay! I hate when brands give new foundations the same name/shade number but they are different colours, makes it harder than it needs to be.

NARS Wanted Palette Swatches #NARSissist

NARSissist Wanted Eyeshadow Palette Review
 This just in from NARS, the NARSissist Wanted Eyeshadow Palette. I just got this in my hands but I wanted to swatch in case you were curious. See the NARS Wanted Palette Tutorial on my Instagram. 
Wanted Palette NARS
The NARS Wanted Palette retails for $74 CAD (with a $352 value) and will be available Cyber Monday on Sephora.ca for one day only! It will then be back on December 4th for a Sephora.ca (in store on January 5th) and followed by January 12th at Hudson's Bay, Nordstrom, Murale and Shoppers Drug Mart.  Wow, that's a lot of launch info! 
NARS Wanted Eyeshadow Palette
The NARS Wanted Palette includes 4 matte shades, 4 shimmers, 2 satins, 1 metallic and 1 sparkle. As mentioned, I just got this palette so I haven't had much time to play but what I did notice was there are some very interesting textures! This is an "all new" formula to NARS and so far it feels good. I think the shade selection is interesting too, you could easily do something super natural and neutral or go incredibly smokey and metallic. Nice to see in such beautiful and compact packaging.
