BLOGMAS DAY TWELVE: MAGICAL METALS

Hello everyone and welcome to blogmas day twelve! For me personally when it comes to makeup during the festive period, nothing shouts out to me more than something either shimmery or metallic. With that in mind i thought for today's blogmas post, i would share with you some of my personal favourite metallic products at the minute, from highlighters, to pigments, to lip colours and even nail polishes...


TOPSHOP HIGHLIGHTER IN THE SHADE HORIZON -
This highlighter by Topshop, is the kind of highlighter perfect for those deeper skin-tones or if you have a great tan. It is simply the most beautiful golden bronze shade, that will make you glow all day long. At the moment this product is way too dark for me to use as a highlight, so i have been loving wearing it as a lid shade either applied dry or wet for a more intense look. 

MUA LUXE GLOW BEAM HIGHLIGHTING POWDER -
I really thought i had found my favourite drugstore highlighter in the form of the Freedom Pro Highlight in the shade Glow, well turns out i was wrong and this highlighter has gone straight to the top! As this highlighter is a loose powder, it simply glides beautifully onto the high points of your cheeks, blends seamlessly/effortlessly and is definitely a highlight for those who like an intense look. The packaging itself is also really nice for a drugstore product, with an easy/non-spill lid and the best part it only retails for £5 at Superdrug.

MAKEUP REVOLUTION AWESOME METALS IN THE SHADE ROSE GOLD -
I have spoken about this product on so many occasions, about my love for it. This product is best used for an intense pop of rose gold in the inner corners of the eye. Using the product this way is great to pair with more of a matte shadow eye look, which makes it stand out that little bit more.   

NEXT METALLIC NAIL POLISH IN THE SHADE ROSE GOLD GOD -
Sticking with the rose gold theme and the fact this is one nail polish i picked up from Next. I have tried rose gold nail polishes in the past and haven't been too impressed with the actual shade once applied, until i tried this one that is. It is the perfect shade of rose gold!

MAC PIGMENTS IN THE SHADE ROSE & TAN -
I have spoken about MAC Pigments so many times, especially the shade Tan as it is my favourite one. Pigments are great applied with a wet brush on the lids, for an intense shimmer/metallic effect. The shade Tan is the most beautiful golden bronze shade and the shade Rose is a as the name suggests a rose gold shade.


ANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS LIP GLOSS IN THE SHADE GILDED -
Moving on to more metallic/shimmering lip options that i love, starting with one of my favourites by Anastasia Beverly Hills. This is the most beautiful semi-sheer gold lip gloss, great worn alone for a slight shimmer to the lips or on-top of another lip colour (mac's honey love lipstick works well).

JOUER LONG-WEAR LIP CRÉME IN THE SHADE PAPAYE - 
This lip créme by Jouer is probably the definition of metallic, it is the most stunning warm metallic peach shade with golden tones to it and it is one of those products perfect for both summer and winter. This would be a great lip product to wear for a Christmas party or dinner, as they are super long wearing on the lips and not drying.

L'OREAL INFALLIBLE DAZZLE GLOSS IN THE SHADE DISCO BALL -
If i was to describe this lip gloss, then i would say it was the perfect affordable dupe for Gilded by Anastasia Beverly Hills. I would say this one is slightly more shimmery and a tiny bit more bronze toned than Gilded is, so it all comes down to preference. This can also be worn simply alone or on-top of another lip colour.

JOUER LIP TOPPER IN THE SHADE SKINNY DIP -
So i couldn't do a post about all things metallic/shimmery without mentioning the ever so famous, Skinny Dip lip topper by Jouer. It is definitely a Christmas/Party season handbag must have product, as it is a stunning translucent lip product with golden shimmer through-out and great for just throwing on/topping up through the night.

H&M FLUID HUES EYE COLOUR IN THE SHADE SHIFTING SANDS -
Finally we have another eye product and one that is super simple and effortless to apply, as you can simply just paint some on the lids and blend out. This shade Shifting Sands is the most gorgeous deep true bronze shade, with a subtle hint of gold through-out. The great thing about this product is, even though it is a cream/liquid shadow it doesn't crease in the slightest.
