MAC Strobe Cream - UVLITE review

Strobing was a big thing a few years ago and all sorts of brands came out with their own powder or even more popular cream version. Then came the era of bold highlighters and something subtle and soft was harder to find. MAC was of one of a few that kept their famous strobing cream in their assortment, but of course, they had to discontinue a shade or two.

It seems like this spring MAC has returned strobing back in the game big time and blessed us with new products.

I picked the new shade of their signature strobing cream – UVLITE.  It is described as cool pearlescent violet and looks just amazing on my cool skin tone. It can be applied lightly and worn subtly, but you can also build it up. It is more compact, less watery and more pigmented than PINKLITE. I am not sure if the whole range has been reformulated or if this is just a difference between two shades.

It is still hydrating, but not as wet. This formula is easy to work with, it blends nicely and it is visible. PINKLITE on the other hand sometimes just blends in completely and simply disappears.

I like to wear it alone, as a highlighter or pair it with another cool toned favorite – Totally Synced Glow Play blush. Dreamy combination, trust me!

UVLITE finally fulfilled my endless cravings for a lilac highlighter, although the trend is still going on and it is very hard but also tempting to watch new makeup launches.

Wishes

  It is time for another wish list or as I like to say it – things that recently caught my attention. Honestly, this is just a small fraction, but I’m too embarrassed to everything out there. The center of the list represents a linen lounge shirt from Intimissimi . I bought one last year and I am super pleased with it. It keeps me cool during these crazy tropical nights and feels very comfortable. I also very much enjoy their silk shirts, but the buttons are simply too annoying sometimes … Now, let’s go up and right to Dior. Another blush? Yes, please! Dior yet again reformulated their famous Backstage Rosy Glow blushes and added some new shades. I always desperately wanted to buy the lavender one, but it was not available in our country. But now something completely different caught my attention – muted, peachy, beige shade – Toffee . I swatched it already and it is pretty, but packed with gold glitter, so I need to try it again to be fully convinced. Smooth&Glow...

Dior Forever Glow Maximizer - Peachy

Apparently this year I have been obsessed with highlighters and blushes because it is time to review another one – Forever Glow Maximizer by Dior in the shade PEACHY. If the Star Glow Filter is very subtle, this is not. It is not tacky and can be beautifully blended, but it’s a real highlighter that serves its purpose. Peachy – light, golden peach with gold and pink shimmer. On my light skin tone, I often wear this as a blush, because I think it works better on me like this. It gives that slight amount of warmth to my face and a subtle golden sheen. It can be built up, but it can also look too much. Now when I’m getting a bit darker I love to put it on top of my bronzer or/and use it as an eyeshadow to achieve a light monochromatic summer look.  Indoor light Sunlight This is a great and versatile product, but I still prefer powder versions of Dior highlighters, they are just easier to work with and blend more effortlessly. I think that with liquid highlighters you always need to be...
