Find Out How I Achieve A Subtle Glow For An Out Of This World Gleam

Written by @Twist.It.Tea

I am sadly not solely convinced that Milk Makeup’s Holographic Stick in Mars will give me the highlight I truly want and deserve.  I was planning on turning Mars into my everyday luminizer, especially because there’s enough in the full-size container to highlight an entire army for like 3 years.  If you don't know about Milk Makeup's Holographic Stick Family, Mars is the sister shade to the infamous, Supernova, but in a more “down-to-earth” rose gold/peachy shimmer.  This is a very beautiful and cool-toned luminizer that is universal to all skin shades which is amazing and also why I LOVE Milk Makeup products.

Anyway, I was very much in love with Supernova over the summer, which you can read about here. I was ready to fall head over heels all over again with Mars, but I was sadly mistaken.  Going into trying the new addition to the family, I knew exactly what to expect from these highlighters – especially due to the lovely and (very) prominent ingredient, Avocado Oil which gives it a super smooth application.  They’re notoriously difficult to apply to your skin straight from the stick – it WILL shift your BB cream or foundation, and end up on the stick which is not fun.  It’s best to apply the highlight to your preferred areas by tapping the formula on with your fingers.  It’s honestly not my favorite way to apply highlighter but since I loved the way Supernova looked on me I was willing to put my differences aside and try this baby out.  Well, Mars is a beautiful shade in concept, but once it’s on my skin it doesn’t really wow me at all, and that is definitely a personal preference. A LOT of people love this shade and formula, but it’s too subtle for my taste! For me, it falls very flat and forces me to continually apply it to my skin until it’s pretty greasy.  So, on the plus side – it is buildable but it doesn’t have the most pleasant ending.  It is very sheer compared to Supernova and that made me sad because I love an intentional glow, but since I do appreciate it as a base I love to sweep some Anastasia Sugar Glow Kit over the top.  At this point, I am definitely wearing an ‘out-of-this-world’ type of highlight, but there are pretty light peach undertones that come through when sunlight hits.  I like to use Gumdrop because it compliments Mars so well with the rose gold flakes. 

When I would wear the formula alone, it would eventually leave very fine lines on my cheekbones which I did not appreciate having to buff out in the middle of the day, and also didn’t give me that “ethereal glow” I was hoping for.  Instead, I think I would really benefit from this if I used it as a body highlighter during the summer.  I can only imagine how sexy and effortless this would gleam on collarbones and with a bronzey tan.  I won’t give up on Mars just yet, because I truly want to love it as much as it’s big sister, Supernova.  So, since summer is still a few months away, I am going to try a cool suggestion I received in the meantime; apply the highlighter under my BB Cream.  I am not truly convinced here, mostly because of the oily feeling it gives me sometimes, but I am definitely going to test it out because I’m willing to make this relationship work!  If anyone has any other suggestions please reach out!

I Feel like Zenon Girl of the 21st Century because of this highlighter!

Holographic Stick in Supernova

Written by @Twist.it.tea

"I Feel like Zenon Girl of the 21st Century"

A highlighter sprinkled with meteor dust and twilight pearls is sure to catch the attention of anyone looking for that pleasantly galactic sheen.  Meteorites are shooting stars that have fallen to earth …while I think the ingredient has little to do with the beautiful iridescent shine, it is does have a nice ring to it.  Both the dust and pearls are advertised throughout Milk Makeup’s Holographic line but when I do my own research on these contributors I can’t find much importance other than branding purposes for a catchy name/slogan.  Honestly, the aforementioned are not an issue to me because I think the twilight pearls are complimentary while the meteor dust conveys a message of closeness to the universe since we are just star dust after all ;) 

According to reviews this shade looks amazing on all skin tones. I have a tan/medium complexion during the summer and it looks fantastic just like I saw it on someone with fair and dark skin.  I love that Milk Makeup allows you to  play around with this product on your lips and eyes as well as the cheek bones. Supernova holds such an ethereal glow that they knew we wouldn't want to be limited to just a highlighter.  I’m not completely sold on this formula being applied to the eyes because of the grease factor, but I refuse to give up until I find the perfect solution to the creasing. Even with a primer on the lids it doesn't hold on for too long. But on the face is a different story, I never have to reapply.  Surprisingly this formula is a trooper, especially during NYC summers - it never budges. Aside from the lid application under performing, the formula feels nice on your skin.  It contains a lot of lovely and naturally hydrating properties such as peach nectar, mango butter, avocado oil and the previously mentioned atmospheric ingredients.  Like I claimed earlier, this is a tad oily so you will be a little glossy but none the less - entrancing and divine af.  I do not recommend applying this highlighter directly to your face from the stick because it will definitely shift your foundation.  I apply to my finger tips and tap on my skin until I'm ready to buff it out a little bit. This is not a catastrophe, but I wish the stick packaging was redesigned for a more useful approach while applying this product.  Milk Makeup does offer the Holographic Highlighting Powder which would look seriously insane over top so I can’t wait to get my hands on that.  This highlighter lets me step out of my comfort zone while giving me hella confidence.  Basically I’m in love with Supernova from top to bottom, it puts me into a special mood when I see it glimmering on my cheek bones.. a true celestial shine.

Mermaid Skin in a Bottle? Cover FX Custom Enhancer Drops in Halo give the ultimate aquatic glow you’ve been craving for the Summer!

By: Amanda V.

Cover FX Custom Enhancer Drops in Halo is one of the most whimsical highlighters I’ve ever come across. It glides on super smooth and sheer but the multi dimensional glow is real. One drop of this mermaid dream in a bottle and you’re set, but you can customize the intensity of your desired beam from subtle to blinding by adding a few more drops.

This is what ONE drop can do!!! 

This highlighter doesn’t necessarily have the dewiest feel. It’s a silky, light liquid formula that absorbs into your skin and feels… well… LIKE SKIN. It doesn’t feel like you have product just laying on top of your skin, which I'm sure none of us want. You can wear this without anything on your face and itmakes you look like you naturally gleam holographic. I see this actually working well with oily skin gals because it dries beautiful without any greasiness. It sets light and matte while still keeping its glow. This product worked really well with my sensitive skin and didn’t negatively affect it at all, which is a plus for me. 

How gorgeous is this packaging? This is what dreams are made of!!!

What makes this highlighter the supreme? IT ACTUALLY LASTS ALL DAY!!! you’re angles will beam from sunrise to sunset and beyond. It also is free of chemicals like parabens as well as free of fragrances, talc, gluten and it is Vegan!! So all of you animal lovers can get in on this glow!!!

The dropper gives the perfect control of distribution so that no product is wasted.

Being that very little goes a VERY LONG WAY, this little 0.5oz bottle will last a VERY LONG TIME. It is pretty small for the hefty price of $42 (sold at CoverFx.com, as well as Sephora stores & Sephora.com) but as I always say, treat yourself if you can! You are deserving of it!! 

Glow Tips:

-For the babes with dry skin, try adding a drop of this to Glossier Balm Dot Com and add to cheek bones, along the bridge of your nose and eyelids. GLOW Baby, GLOW!

-There are no rules, you can glow as bright as you want. Hell, If you want to be a full on sea queen, add a couple of drops into your foundation (Have fun with it)

-Listen and Lip Sync to “Part of your world” and “Under the Sea” as you apply your highlight… release your inner mermaid!!!
