The mark. Glowdacious Illuminating Powder retails for $13.00 but as a mark. representative I get it for only $9.10. Either way it is a great product for a reasonable price. This bronzer comes in three different shades so if this shade doesn't suit your skin tone you should still be able to find one that does. Even though this is a bronzer you could definitely use it as a blush if you have a light skin tone or as a highlighter if you have a deeper skin tone. Shimmied Up has three different "rings" of color but none of them could really be used individually since they aren't big enough to use with a brush. I have even used this as eye shadow in a pinch.

Liplicious Lip Gloss in Tropical Sangria
The Liplicious brand lip glosses are sold at Bath & Body Works and I absolutely love them. Tropical Sangria was part of their California Cool collection which came out in the summer of 2012. Bath & Body Works describes this as "a clear/pale plum gel shade with shimmer." I don't see any color to this, it looks like a clear gloss. I highly suggest taking a look at this in stores because it isn't just a plain clear gloss. Tropical Sangria has a glitter in it that is purple but it some lighting it just looks clear. I love the scent of this gloss as well, it is a tropical fruity scent. The Liplicious glosses retail for $8.00 at Bath & Body Works but right now they are on sale Buy 2 get 1 free. Tropical Sangria is still available if you are interested.

Glitter Gal 3D Nail Polish in White Sparkle
Photo Source: Rebecca Likes Nails
White Sparkle by Glitter Gal is a pearly white with a pink to green duo chrome and chunky holographic glitter. White Sparkle is somewhat sheer so if you don't want to use three to four coats of this I would suggest using a white or similar toned base. I hate that this nail polish brand is located in Australia so it is super hard to get ahold of if you live in the United States. The GlitterGal online store does have an international shipping option but its $22.00 AUD so almost $23.00 USD. This polish retails for $11.95 AUD and is only 9ml but I think it is totally worth the price since it is such a unique color.
*I received this product for free from GlitterGal but all opinions are my own and COMPLETELY HONEST.*

NP Set Lip Gloss Compact in Jamaica
NP Set is the line that is by Napoleon Perdis that is exclusively sold at Target stores. I am not sure of where the regular Napoleon Perdis line is sold. I picked this up at Target when it was in the clearance bin and am so glad that I did. I believe I got it for around $6 or $7. Even on me and I am fair skinned there really isn't any color pay off. The only thing you will notice is a nice shine with a lot of shimmer. The shimmer is more finely milled so its not going to be chunky and gritty on your lips. If you are interested in purchasing this lip gloss DermStore is currently selling it for $10.00.

Maybelline Wet Shine Fusion in Coral Kiss
I picked this up at the Dollar Tree for only $1.00 a while back and I am glad that I did. They had a couple of colors, but the one that I picked was Coral Kiss. I am pretty sure that these are discontinued, but you might be able to find them online on Ebay or other cosmetic outlet websites. Coral Kiss is a sheer golden peach. The Wet Shine Fusion formula is solid and looks like a lipstick but it is suprisingly very moisturizing. It has a golden shimmer to it, so if you don't like shimmer I wouldn't suggest buying this. The shimmer isn't chunky or too noticeable, it's very nice. It is very sheer but still buildable.

Orly Nail Polish in Pointe Blanche
Photo Source: Central Nail Supply
Orly's Pointe Blanche for a french tip manicure retails for $6.99 but at Sally's Beauty Supply if you have the Beauty Club Card it is only $6.49. Pointe Blanche is your standard white creme nail polish but what makes this different is the brush. The brush on this nail polish is a precision brush that is thin and flat which makes it the perfect brush for doing a french tip manicure. I love the formula on this as well because it is very pigmented and will only take you one coat when using it for a french tip. If you are using this to polish your whole nail it will take three coats.

Slatkin & Co. Cranberry Pear Bellini Candle
Photo Source: Bath & Body Works
I received this candle in the VIP Tote Bag on Black Friday. In order to get the tote for $20 you had to purchase at least $40 worth of stuff. I am glad that I got the tote because I probably wouldn't have tried this scent otherwise. I had picked it up and smelled it but didn't end up purchasing it because it smelled a little too strong for me. Don't judge this candle at first smell! I ended up burning through the mini size in a day and just picked up the 3-wick one the other day. I absolutely love this scent. Bath & Body Works website describes this candle as "a bright blend of sparkling cranberry, sweet pear nectar and luscious blackcurrant. " I would say that is definitely true! You can smell the champagne when you first open it without even burning it and it may seem a little strong, but it smells amazing once you actually burn it. I would highly suggest picking up this scent while you can!
