All of the entries for the year 2020 were completed before March 2020. Most items were bought in, or before, 2019. And so, despite the pandemic where buying makeup is definitely a lower priority, I'm still publishing these posts.
NYX Cosmetics’ Holographic Halo highlighter in Arctic Crush

When this was brand new, this was aqua-blue sparkle particles in a waxy base. Now (about a year after original purchase) the waxy base is a little drier, and the sparkle is more prominent and a little more prone to falling away after a few hours. This is now a sparsely loaded glitter stick. It’s definitely “festival makeup” at this point - I can’t imagine wearing this to a client site, even a smaller amount.
