Price: $26 * Buy At: Ulta * Size: 4.5 g The Laura Geller Baked Gelato Swirl Illuminator in Gilded Honey is a shimmery gold face highlight. The Baked Gelato Swirl Illuminator comes in a quite small round compact with a clear lid. The product inside has a swirled pattern, which Laura Geller claims will remain until you finish the product, so far the pattern has stayed in tact. When swatched on your finger, Gilded Honey is super intense, but it doesn’t give a harsh line appearance when applied on the face. I have a light skin tone, so Gilded Honey is not super intense on my face, but it would be more bright and glowy on a deeper skin tone. So, this makes Gilded Honey a nice, natural looking highlight for everyday use, for me personally. For the size of the product, it is a pretty pricy highlight, so I would recommend picking this up during some kind of sale, if you are interested in purchasing. XOX ♥

Price: $42 * Buy At: Ulta * Size: 0.28 oz The Anastasia Beverly Hills Modern Renaissance Palette is made up of a mixture of warm neutrals and berry tones. The Modern Renaissance Palette consists of 14 shadows--most of the shades are matte, but a couple colors have a gorgeous metallic finish. The palette is a muted pink and has a velvety texture. The lid does have a mirror on it, but the lid does not hold itself up. A small, dual ended brush is included in the palette, but the size makes it a bit impractical. I was not originally interested in the palette when I saw it online, but once I swatched it in person, I was so impressed! The formula of every shadow is so smooth, pigmented and easy to blend. The color selection is beautiful, and most of the shades are very wearable, with the exception of the more red-pink shades: Venetian Red & Love Letter. As you can assume from the texture of the shadows, the Modern Renaissance Palette is very easy to work with and blends out effortlessly on the eyes. I have liked Anastasia palettes in the past, but this one is by far the best from the brand! XOX ♥
Price: $5 * Buy At: Five Below * Size: 6 x 1.8 g The City Color Contour To Go Palette comes with four contour shades and two highlight shades. Each contour shade has a very smooth texture and is highly pigmented. On lighter skin tones, applying the contour colors with a light hand would most likely be necessary, but if you have darker skin, this palette would be a great choice. The two highlight shades also have a smooth texture, but are a bit chalky and chunky--especially when swatched with your finger. Once the excess powder is removed, the highlights do look nice and are pigmented, but the formula is not quite as nice as the contour powders. They do apply nicely to the skin, however, despite a slightly chalky swatch on my arm. I prefer the cooler toned bottom row, since the top row can look orange on my cool-toned skin. Overall, this contour palette is great, especially when considered that it is only $5 for six shades--you really cannot beat the price! I have loved every City Color product I have purchased, and would definitely recommend the brand! XOX ♥
