Stila All Over Shimmer Liquid Luminizer - Kitten Shimmer

Stila All Over Shimmer Liquid Luminizer in Kitten $20-$30 AUD

I bought this off ASOS a while ago and have been absolutely loving it.  It is a really small bottle but it is so pigmented and really shimmery so it lasts a really long time.  The colour Kitten is a gold-toned champagne colour.  Since its really shimmery it definitely isn't subtle so it wouldn't be as suitable for everyday wear.  Overall I am so in love with this product and will continue to buy it in the future.  I have been using it all the time and barely have used up any product so it is really great value for money as it lasts longer than any powder highlighter or illuminator would.  They have a few more colours in the range which I hope I can try out soon since I'm so happy with this one.  If you are in Australia Stila can be difficult to find but you can find them at bigger department stores (try the big city stores) or at Mecca Cosmetica stores (or online here).  You could also have a look online or try Beautybay (they have free worldwide shipping).

Nars Highlighter - Albatross 

Nars Highlighter - Albatross  RRP $50 AUD

This powder highlighter is the perfect everyday highlighter.  Unfortunately mine is really beaten up (as you can see by the chunk missing from the top of the package) so I wont show you the inside of mine but as you can see from the image above it is a yellow toned powder highlighter which is very light it is almost an off-white.  This highlighter is great because on the face it doesn't look very shimmery and just gives a nice dewy sheen.  This has also lasted me a fairly long time because it is quite pigmented.  The packaging is really high quality and strong which is always great and it has a good sized mirror so it is great to take with you on an everyday basis.  Nars products are pretty pricey here in Australia but I do recommend picking up this product as it is worth the money.  You can also get it cheaper online and ASOS currently has this shade for $35 AUD with free shipping.  If you want to try it in store Mecca Cosmetica is the only place I am aware of that sells Nars products and that's where I got mine from.
