You glow, girl!
If there's one place that embodies everything we want from a great highlighter, it would have to be Paris. Capturing the romance and effortless glam of the City of Lights in a pan of powder sounds dreamy, and Becca Cosmetics just made it happen! Following a successful collab with mommy model Chrissy Teigen, the brand teamed up with French fashion and beauty blogger Sananas to bring us yet another highlighter we never knew we needed. Inspired by the iconic Eiffel Tower and a warm sunset, the Becca Cosmetics x Sananas Parisian Lights Highlighter is a pinkish, rose gold highlighter bound for great things and tons of glow! The Eiffel Tower embossing is also a super cute detail! As of right now, the highlighter is solely available in Sephora France but we’re hoping Becca expands distribution soon!

They're not only adorable and fun to look at, but they’re a great way for you to test out a product before fully committing to a full size version and are convenient to pack for travel. Urban Decay is one to always make sure that we find a palette that fits our taste which is why the launch of the NAKED Petite Heat Palette is right up our street!

Royal treatment
Please tell me I’m not the only one completely obsessed with the British royal family? From their understated chic outfits to their charming accents and royal flair, there’s just something so mesmerizing about the Royals. Apparently, makeup genius Charlotte Tilbury is a big fan, too! The brand has just released new lipsticks to pay homage to Kate Middleton and Queen Elizabeth II herself. Her wittily named lipstick trio At Your Lip Service includes The Duchess, a matte tea-rose pink that Kate is known to sport on her lips. The Queen is a vibrant pink that instantly brightens the complexion while Legendary Queen is the ultimate deep, wine-red with a splendor befitting the name. Buy each for $34 or grab the trio for just $85 on the Charlotte Tilbury website.
