My HG Highlighter: MAC Extra Dimension Skinfinish in Whisper of Gilt

A lot of people ask me about highlighters, and I have a lot of them. In the picture below is the majority of my collection, but I missed a few (including Benefit Watt's Up! and others that are in palettes):

There is one star in my collection, which is my HG (holy grail) highlighter. I simply feel like I cannot live without it!

♥MAC Extra Dimension Skinfinish in Whisper of Gilt♥

It is limited edition and was released originally in March 2012, but it is being repromoted *right now* in MAC's Holiday 2012 Glamour Daze Collection!

Beauties with medium to dark skin tones, you definitely need this highlighter!

MAC Cream Foundations: Studio Tech vs. Full Coverage

Some of my readers know that I have been using MAC's Studio Tech cream foundation since last summer, which I actually bought because I was looking for their Full Coverage Foundation (which is a PRO item only). While I have enjoyed it over the last half year or so and have even re-purchased it when I finished my first compact, I wanted to try the Full Coverage Foundation to see if there was a real difference or not between them.

SHOP MAC Collection Pre-release Event at MAC Pro in Costa Mesa, CA

I got invited to the pre-release event for MAC's SHOP MAC Collection at the MAC Pro store in South Coast Plaza! So my best friend Alice and I decided to go there for free cocktails and hors d'oeuvres while shopping for the collection 2 weeks in advance!

Picture heavy post ahead!

Haultastic day along with getting my hair done!

I was long overdue for a hair color and cut, so I booked an appointment today with my beloved Jennifer at Ulta in Tustin, CA! But I started and ended the day with some lovely hauls from mukuCHU, Ulta, MAC and Urban Decay.
