Ramblings of a College Girl

I didn't realize how much I used this on the go, or how often I brought it with me on short trips until I left it behind for a quick trip to Croatia. I've had this palette since December and haven't used it much until this summer, when I didn't use much eye shadow and if I did it was very neutral. 

In all honesty I brought three palettes back to Europe with me, and I really would have been fine bringing only this one! The thing that makes this so good for travel, other than its small size is that Frisk and Cover (the two in the middle or shade 3 and 4) double as brow powder and Undone (the darkest shade) as eyeliner. Although the size is great as well, it fits right at the bottom of my small Ted Baker beauty pouch (similar) which I feels fits very limited amounts of makeup but is the perfect purse size. Besides for quick trips it isnt necessary to travel with half of your makeup collection!

So I'm way late to the game, like way way late. Admittedly highlighting has been part of my routine for a while, but I only did it out of habit. Concealer, powder, blush then highlight, and once you get into the habit of doing something you can lose appreciation for it.

 But all of that changed once I bought my first Becca product. I gave in to the hype, walked right into sephora stomping straight over to the Becca stand to see if it really was all that. It was! It really was! I was almost a little intimidated by it, I'd been using M.A.C.'s Mineralized Skinfinish in Soft and Gentle for years and was completely content with the amount of 'glow' it gave but after swatching Becca's Shimmering Skin Perfector in Moonstone I am a changed human. I'm also a frequent user of the two lightest shades in this City Color Highlight Trio, it's chunkier than Becca but the overall effect and finish on your skin is still beautiful. I find that neither of these make my pores look significantly bigger, but I also use them in minimally in comparison to some to the beauty gurus I follow.
