It is no secret that I love make up & recently it is no secret that I LOVE the Divergent book series. I am currently finishing the third and final book, but I am in love with the overall themes and of course, the incredible relationship that exists between the two main characters, Beatrice "Tris" and Tobais "Four". Their love is the non-conditional type, that acts as though the other does not become an adage to their life or their self, but actually becomes one with them. Tris often points out moments when she realizes they are the same, it is lovely and beautiful.

Any who, the point of this post is to talk about the special edition make up kit from Sephora. I was skeptical at first that it was going to be gimmicky, however after reading reviews I decided to try it out for myself, bought it online (after having to wait a week for it to come back in stock) and two days later I had a lovely large package on my doorstep!!

The kit includes:

3 Themed eye shadow palettes (Dauntless, Abnegation, and Erudite)
1 face palette (2 blushes, 1 bronzer, 1 highlighter)
4 Lip glosses
1 Double sided make up brush (Blush/Powder brush & Blending brush)

Overall, I was thoroughly impressed with this kit. The eye shadows are pigmented, versatile, blendable, and come in incredibly wearable shades. There are only 2-3 shades that I don't see my self using often or even on a day to day basis, they are a sparkly green, mossy green, and a scarlet blue color.

The other shadows range from stark white to a incredibly black color called "Dauntless Ink". I love all of the different names, however the eye shadow palettes themselves, though named after 3 of the factions are not designed specifically for those factions. For instance in the dauntless palette there is "Abnegation Stone". This is a minor detail, but I would have preferred each palette to be specifically for the faction it was named for.

"Erudite Eye Palette"

"Dauntless Eye Palette"

"Abnegation Eye Palette"

The lipglosses are a medium pigment, not completely sheer but not opaque either. They are smooth, non-sticky and leave a lovely sheen on your lips. I also enjoy all of the colors and will wear every single one of them. I think it was very smart of them to stick with neutral tones for the majority of this collection, especially since most of the factions would probably wear those type of colors anyway.

Left to Right: "Natural Virtue, Temptations Choice, Supreme Ritual, Fear Not"

The blushes are gorgeous as well, one is a deep coral and the other is my favorite, a dusty rose color. The highlighter is gorgeous and reminds me of the NYX one that I currently use, but the bronzer is the best part. It is a gorgeous warm toned color with a yellowish tint that gives it a natural sunny look when applied to the skin, I'm in love!

This is limited edition, so head over to Sephora and see if you can get your hands on it while they last or get your name on the email list so you can snatch it up right away if your interested.

P.S - I plan on having tutorials for the different factions coming up really soon, stay posted on this blog and my YouTube to see my first look inspired by the Dauntless faction! :)

Welcome to another Friday Finds Post!! (I am really excited about this one, seeing as I have been anxiously awaiting the arrival of these products.)

For a bit of back story: I have been experimenting with highlighters, but I only have two cream ones within my collection. Highlighters are one the those make up products that I admire on others, but never seem to like on myself. However, I have been liking them more and more and have had my eye on the "creme de le creme" of highlighters in the beauty world, the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder in "Dim Light", but I didn't deem myself quite ready to spend such a pretty penny on something I was only beginning to dabble in.

Lo and behold, I was ecstatic when I discovered that they were planning to release blushes in the same "Ambient Lighting" collection. Blush is one of my favorite things to experiment with and next to eye shadow, is one of the largest accumulations within my make up collection.

Ok, now that you know that background, today's Feature Friday is the New Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush in the shade "Dim Infusion".

*Pause for Oohs and Aahs*

I was like a kid in a candy store when I reached Sephora. Despite being so excited, the beautiful colors caused me to be equally indecisive. I loved many of the shades ranging from a hot pink "Radiant Magenta" and a plummy, berry color "Mood Exposure", but after standing for almost ten minutes just staring at the swatches on my hand, I finally made my decision.

It is a light pink shade, that looks like a beautiful, incredibly natural flush when applied to the skin. I found that it blends easily and is a really smooth formula overall. Not to mention the lovely golden packaging and the gorgeous marble effect of the blush itself.

Here is what it looks on me:

P.S "Diffused Heat" (the bright peachy-pink option) is calling my name very soon!!

Thanks for reading, hope you enjoyed!
