Sun Beam Matte Liquid Bronzer-Golden Sun - SHEGLAM
I love this set. The colors are so beautiful. You get a blush stick, bronzer stick, and highlighter stick all together and they coordinate beautifully. The blush has my heart. The formula is awesome. The bronzer needs a little more blending than the other two, but the harmonious color pay off is worth it. I got mine on sale. That make it even better. Keep in mind they are minis, but they will last.

These are just as good as the regular ones but with GLITTER!! Yes, still comfortable. You can feel a little of the glitter, but it isn't annoying and gritty like some glosses. My favorite is Crystal Baller. But I am working on getting them all.

Highlight
Add a little shine for a night on the town or special occasion.
A blinding highlight for $12? Yep, Nyx just came out with these butter melt highlights. Just like the rest of the collection they are silk smooth powders that apply easily. If you are mature skinned like me, remember that highlight will emphasize texture no matter how good it is. I use a small brush and just dust it on the high points of my cheeks. Some people add a little to the bridge of their nose as well.
