The Liquid Highlighters
When i was sifting through my makeup collection the other day, i realised how much of a fan I am of liquid and cream highlighters. More often than not, when doing my makeup i reach for them over a powder highlighter. Liquids and cream highlighters give much more of a glow and luminosity, almost from within the skin, that you just can't get with a powder.
When looking at my liquid highlighters, two stood out; Nars Copacabana Illuminator and Benefit High Beam. Both are beautiful, quite similar in fact, and blend out really well whether you use your fingers, a brush or a beauty blender. I find that you only need the tiniest amount, so especially for Copacabana where it comes in a big tube, it will last ages. I also like the versatility of liquid highlighters. You can mix a little in with your foundation or moisturiser for a more glowy finish or even apply it like a primer.
The only downside to liquid highlighters? I find they can be a little time consuming and sometimes messy to apply.
I still love to use powder highlighters, such as the Balm Mary LouManizer or Nars Albatross, that give a kind of dazzling effect to the cheeks, but for general every day makeup, a liquid or cream is my preferred choice.
Which do you prefer? Liquid or powder?

High End Beauty Haul
I recently had a splurge at the beauty counters in John Lewis and picked up a few items that had been on my makeup wishlist for a while. I'm so excited to give these a try, you may see a couple reviews in the near future!
Laura Mercier Loose Setting Powder- Universal
I've never actually owned a loose setting powder until now but i'd always wanted to try one and this always gets a lotta' love. I hate to be one that conforms to trends but i've also been eager to try the whole 'baking' malarky. My makeup always finds a way to disappear from my face so anything that might increase the longevity i'm keen to try.
Nars Sheer Glow Foundation- Mont Blanc
A repeat purchase of my favourite foundation. It gets a lot of hype but is definitely worth it!
Nars Copacabana Illuminator
This had been on my wishlist for a long time and i'd never got round to actually buying it. I love cream highlighters and the fact this comes in such a big tube is a huge win! I can't wait to get my glow on.
Liz Earle Instant Boost Skin Tonic
If you've been reading my blog for a while you will know i'm a huge Liz Earle fan. I've had many bottles of this, it just makes a big difference to the appearance of my skin. A definite holy grail!
