This new golden compact is adorned with a delicate butterfly motif on the lid. It houses Estee Lauder Signature Shimmer Powder that delicately highlights and gives radiance to any complexion. A small brush applicator is also included and is protected in a matching pink suede pouch.

I personally think it looks very feminine and pretty. What about you?

The pictures are pretty amazing and the CEO has been the makeup artist to such shows as Baywatch (so that’s why Pam Anderson’s boobs looked ginormous) and Miss USA.

I’ll be honest, I’m not sure I believe that it works unless you already have a relatively thin stomach or defined legs. I can hardly image someone like myself who is not in the best shape (although I’ve been working out for 2 weeks straight and lost 4 pounds woo!) would find any value in these products.

Renee, if you are reading and you purchase a kit, drop me a line and I’ll let you write a guest review.

If you’ve tried it, share your experience in the comments!

Mommy Makeup’s Any Wear Creme is a 3-in-1 makeup product. It triples as an eye shadow, a highligher to your blush and as a lip color. Goldilocks is a copper/bronze and Twinkle is a pink/gold (although I feel like it is more gold).

The colors look amazing on my eyes as I used them on my lid and slightly below my brow bone. To break up the similarity of color, I used MAC’s Paint Pot in Moss Scape. All three products are exactly the same in texture, so they blended well.

Mommy Makeup’s Any Wear Creme didn’t smudge or crease and I checked it after wearing it for about 8 hours–looked exactly the same. On your cheeks it creates a luminosity and a glow. It will dry on your lips, so you’ll need to apply gloss over top to keep them moisturized. I chose to use Benefit’s 24K Gold Lip Gloss. The color was very similar so if anything it just added some extra shine to a gorgeous lip color.

It’s a great product and hopefully they’ll come out with some universal pinks, as well. www.mommymakeup.com

Gilded

Benefit says, “It’s like 24 carat gold in a stick!”

I have to say, I love this little golden pencil. It’s nice and soft, so it glides across your skin as you apply it. I’ve used it across my brown bone, under my lower lids and on my lips under my 24 sexy gold lip gloss.

Gilded gives a nice shimmer without taking over–it merely compliments any other colors and products you are already using.

Have you tried it?

This pearl colored jar comes in a small hat box-like package. I received mine in Goddess Skin, and from the packaging, I first mistook it to be a skin care product. I was surprised when I opened the jar to find amber colored little balls or “pearls.”

Venus Magical Pearls is a multi-tasker, much like myself. You can use this product to highlight your cheek bones and your eyes simply by swirling your finger among the pearls and swiping your finger across your face. Or you can crush one pearl to reveal a second color and use it as an eyeshadow. Goddess Skin, when crushed, has an aqua-green color inside.

I loved the sparkle the amber color gave to my cheeks and eyelids and then I crushed the pearl to use the aqua along the crease of my eye.

This product really is so cool. It’s a whole new spin on eyeshadow.

I have been sitting on this little gem since the beginning of December. Do you know how hard it was not to write about it? However, I had no choice because it was top secret over at Twisted Fayte and I had to keep this all to myself until its launch.

Thankfully, this product, along with 2 other products I received, launched yesterday. Finally I can tell you how much I love it!

This mineral makeup is a highlighting cream. The one I received was in Radiate, which is a sheer nude pearl. It has more shine and shimmer than this picture gives it justice. I have only used this as an eyeshadow base. However, in writing this post I found that it can be used as a highlighter and even over your entire face.

From the website:

Use these lightweight waterbased creams in conjunction with your moistuizer. Each of the three colors we created is blended with subtle light-reflecting micas, chamomile to soothe your skin, and just a touch of aloe. Just a tiny dap of these either all over your face or just as a highlight on cheek bones gives a color payoff with a hint of an etherial glow. For a little added versatility, the Radiate Creams can be applied lightly on your eye lids as a soft and gentle base for your pigments. Simply use your ring finger to gently press a tiny of amount on to your lids and layer your pigments over them. No creasing, and no heavy feeling on your eyes means you never have to re-touch your eye makeup during the day!

The cream appears thick in the jar, but I found that I only needed to use a small amount to cover my lid and eye area. It didn’t feel heavy and I found that my mineral pigments simply clung to it, making it last longer throughout the day. As the website says, there was no creasing at all.

The cream also provides a light shimmer, so if you apply a matte pigment over it, you will get some shine. It was pretty and not over the top. As I look at her site, I may purchase Enlighten, which is a sheer pearl with a hint of golden copper. My eyes are hazel and copper just seems to make them pop.

Twisted Fayte’s Radiate Creams are $12.

Moon Beam is a highlighter that is a natural golden pink. While the site says it works best on olive, tan and darker skin tones, it made my pale complexion shimmer. I made X’s at the apple of each cheek as the box recommended and then blended with my finger tips. I believe this is a product you can wear all over your face, but since I am shiny to begin with, I decided I would use other products to tone down the shine on most of my face, but leave Moon Beam on my cheeks.

I also did a little trick they mention, which is making a line down your nose and only blending the product vertically. It said it would give you the appearance of a slimmer nose, and what’s so funny is that it works. I hate my nose, so you can bet that I have been implementing this little trick everyday.

For my pale skin the look wasn’t in your face noticable, but nonetheless, I still liked the less than dramatic glow it gave me. I would be interested to hear from anyone else who has used Moon Beam, especially those with olive, tan or a darker skin tone. What did you think?
