But now a VIB and in better spirits with a renewed love of all things beauty, I enjoyed taking part of this sale and being pretty choosy with my selections. I purchased SIX products and spent a total of $194.98.
Read below to find out which product went back and which is on the fence and to see an updated total.
Melt Cosmetics Mary Jane Palette: I still haven't even used this palette even though I've had it now for a few weeks. And even though the reviews for it are pretty dismal, I am so in love with the colorway of this cooler-toned palette, that it's a definite keeper for me.
If you're interested in this palette, I would highly suggest watching reviews for it and getting as many opinions of it as you can. For me, the shade selection and different textures included have stolen thy heart.
Westman Atelier Lit Up Highlight Stick: I picked up the shade Nectar in this beautiful product from Westman Atelier, thinking it one of the most majestic makeup items I had ever seen. And it is absolutely stunning, don't get me wrong, but it isn't giving me exactly what I had expected from it.
This product is less of a highlight and more of a kiss of gloss, which sounded great. But considering that my skin is dewy and pretty glossy already 75% of the time, I find that it doesn't really show up on me. In order for this product to shine at its best for me, I would have to use it on those occasions that I am not layering a lot of hydrating products underneath or using a more matte foundation, which these days is rare for me.
Still, I have not given up on it yet, I want to put it to use a few more times this week and see if I can make this show up on my skin more. It's a pricier product being from Westman Atelier, but even if it was only $5 it is not worth it to me if I can't get it to show up.
TBD
So that is how everything stands as of right now. I will come back and update this post once I have made a definite decision about the Westman Atelier Lit Up Highlight Stick.
Total spent after NARS return: $169.10
Total spent if I return the highlight: $124.73
