OFRA Cosmetics | Highlighter (Review)

 Product Summary:

Glow forever in these highlighters created with powerful pearl pigments that are pressed from liquid to baked. The luminosity from the pearls in the formula provide an unparalleled shine and pigment payoff that melts into the skin without looking cakey or powdery. Cost: $35 per highlighter. I have Star Island (a warm ivory), Covent Garden in collab with Talia Mar (a champagne rose), and Moondance in collab with Madison Miller (a pearl highlight with champagne undertones)

I first received this product in a Ipsy bag which is a monthly beauty subscription service where you get 5 items from sample to full size for around 30$ Canadian. Click here to check them out. 



***Cruelty free***
I don't have many items from Ofra but their highlighters have been something that I was very much excited to try, especially, since their highlighters are always highly rated in the beauty community and after trying these ones I can see why. I definitely have a huge love for highlighters and while I do have some similar shades already in my collection, I don't have any that are the exact same shade. 

I have gravitated towards Star Island for the most part. It's such a beautiful shade of highlight for my skin tone. I have also loved using a large fluffy brushes, swirling it in the highlighter and applying it all over my décolletage and shoulders during these summer months when I am wearing a sundress. As my boyfriend has pointed out, it adds a nice touch to my outfit and appearance. 

Covent Garden seems more appropriate as a blush topper with how pink it is. I have used it (with a light hand) all over my face for my more paler days to add some much needed color. 

Rating: 
I'm giving these Ofra highlighters 4 stars on 5! One reason why I love Ipsy is that you can get some high value items on a budget. I could never spend $35 for a single highlighter when there are more affordable options that are 'close enough' to Ofra highlighters. I do love these highlighters and they perform wonderfully on the skin but the price is just to much to get over.

Neutrogena: Healthy Skin Instant Tone Corrector (Review)

Image
***Not Cruelty Free 👎*** This silky, lightweight formula is meant to smooth the skin and correct complexion in seconds. This formula contains essential soy which is "proven" to correct and brighten skin tone while also reducing the look of dark spots, pores and wrinkles. It also helps make-up to be applied smoothly and last longer. The SPF in the tone corrector helps the skin looking healthy. It can be worn alone or with makeup. It contains SPF 15 and is for all skin types. This product costs around $20 but I got it for a $1! You can checkout Neutrogena's website  here.   Essentially, this is a tone corrector and it can be used as a primer after moisturizer. When I read the description on the box I was praying to God that this would work because as I've previously stated in the past few blog posts I've written; this summer my skin has been freaking out with pimples and in consequence I have dark spots all over my chin area where I previously had pimples...

True Blood: Season 1 Episode 6 Cold Ground (Episode Review)

Image
((((((This review contains spoilers.)))))) Adele Stackhouse is dead and of course Sookie is in shock but damn everyone keeps on bugging her. Can everyone just let the poor girl grieve? Of course Sam and Bill have to seize each other up. My question is why does Bill think he knows Sookie so well? Dude, you've known her maybe a week tops. Or has he known her for a week as he would like everyone to believe? I don't understand how Sookie was able to clean up the kitchen after her grandmother was murdered in it. It's a shame that Adele died she was such a gentle spirit.  Jason is just slowly deteriorating beyond belief. Addicted to vampire blood, suspected of several murders and now hitting his own sister. Thank God for Tara and Lafayette because they are amazing friends. They are funny and caring I wish they were my friends.  Sookie yelling and cursing at everyone during the funeral just made me laugh so much. I would react the same way if not worse had I been abl...

Murdered Out (The Morganville Vampires #6.5) By: Rachel Caine (Book Review)

Image
 ***This review will contain spoilers*** Summary: Normal life in Morganville. As far as normal ever was, Shane Collins thought; nobody was overtly rioting, getting arrested, or killing anyone. Not on the street, anyway. One of the hard-to-find exclusive stories written specifically for the UK editions (which at the time were being published a month or two after the US releases, meaning that die-hard fans rushed to buy internationally) … it was offered as an extra to help the UK publisher convince fans there to wait for the local edition, and it seems to have worked! I love these little short stories. Especially, when it is from a different character's perspective. We don't often get to see much from Shane by himself so I'm happy this short story exists. He has truly grown and changed for the better so far in the series and it truly shows in this story.  Aside from Claire, Shane is the only one in the house who doesn't have a car. For most it doesn't seem much but wh...
