I'm still bummed that I missed out on the last highlighter in this formula that Estee Lauder released. So, when I saw this product was coming out I went straight to EsteeLauder.com and ordered mine :) When I purchased it I thought I was just pre-ordering it, but the very next day I received an email saying my order had shipped! Score!
This product is so gorgeous and highly pigmented. I think it's going to be an absolutely amazing highlighter/addition to my blush, during the summer especially!

At the moment I'm pretty darn pale, but I have tried this already (I couldn't help myself!) on my cheek bones :) Even with a light complexion you can use this product, but with a very light hand!
I just love the feel and look of this illuminator!


Have you guys been able to check this out yet?! Will you purchase?

'NOTD: It's My Year '...

I've had this polish for a little while now, and just tried it out for the first time over the holidays while I was home in Michigan. Um, I freaking love it! It's such a gorgeous purple/maroon/I don't know how to explain it color that shines a sparkly gold shade. I've added a few pictures to try and show you how different it looks in different lighting and angles...

'NOTD: OPI Vodka & Caviar'... and exciting news!

Time for a NOTD!! This is my all-time favorite red nail polish. It's OPI Vodka & Caviar, and it is an amazing sophisticated shade.

I couldn't get the color to photograph quite right! This polish is a deeper red than it looks on my nails, but in the bottle you can sort of tell... sort of.


Now, can you tell what's different and exciting in this next picture?!?!
