Friday Finds: Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush

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.

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

Friday Finds: Loreal Lash Out Butterfly Mascara

Guess what day it is?! 

Friday... a perfect day for Friday Finds!


I wanted to add another series onto my blog and came up with Friday Finds, in which I will share a product, activity or idea that I love! I am not necessarily going to hold one every Friday, simply because I don't know if I will have "found" new product I feel the need to feature, but I have a couple in mind already so I am really excited to get this started. 

The first ever product I want to feature is one that I am absolutely in love with. After using Benefit's "They're Real" Mascara, I thought finding a mascara I valued just as much was an impossible task, but yet, here I am announcing to you my new favorite mascara. 

It is the Loreal butterfly effect mascara in the non- waterproof formula. I have the shade "Blackest Black". There are so many good things to say about this product that I hardly know where to begin. 

(Wider edge is on the right hand side in the pictures)
The best place to start is the unique and incredible brush. It is in the shape of a butterfly wing, increasing from a small tip to a more spread out triangular shape. At first it can seem a bit intimidating, but once I figured out the best way to apply it, I haven't been able to use anything else. 

I simply make sure the fanned out, wider edge is on the outer corner of my lashes and then apply from the root wiggling up to the tips of the lashes as you typically would. I apply a couple of coats (though it doesn't need it) because I like the dramatic lash look. I haven't had a single problem with clumping and find that this brush design works wonders. 

I have finally found my dream mascara that adds volume, lengthens and fans out the outer edge of the lashes all in one! *swoon* 

Since the bottom of the brush is a normal, slightly rounded shape, it is perfect for the bottom lashes. I apply the left over mascara onto them seeing as I do not like my bottom lashes to have to much product and look "doll-eyed" on an every day basis. 

It separates each lash and gives an incredible long, full look to the lashes as a whole. 

The packaging is not the greatest thing in the world in my opinion, seeing as it is a bit bulky and quite flashy being fully silver, but the product inside is so amazing, that I do not mind it at all. 

If you are looking for a new mascara to try, I highly recommend this one!
