“Kitty Glitter Enthusiast.” I’m thinking about adding that to my business cards, which currently read, “Assistant to the CEO, Tabs the Cat Industries, LLC.”
I looked around online for a place to play Kitty Glitter for free, but I don’t know… I don’t trust those online casinos.
The couple hours I spent hootin’ and hollerin’ in front of that penny slot machine last weekend filled my eyes with sparkles, and I’ve been extra obsessed with glitter ever since.
It’s either that…or NARS Satellite of Love Highlighting Blush.
Like a Snickers bar, this $28 illuminating highlighting powder, one of 22 pieces in the new Andy Warhol Pop Holiday 2012 collection, really satisfies. 🙂 It instantly brightens faces with its sheer, peachy powder and golden glitter.
Lately when glitter calls, I grab a skunk brush and carefully, lightly apply Satellite of Love on my upper cheekbones, down the bridge of my nose and atop my cupid’s bow. Careful is the key word, too; otherwise, we’re talkin’ disco diva territory (which I admit, sometimes I like).
Subtle or intense, depending on how many layers I apply, the shimmer shines the entire day.
If it sounds like something you’d like, try it paired with peachy blushes, like NARS Lustre, Madly or Lovejoy.
NARS Satellite of Love might not be right for every guy/gal, especially ones who prefer matte and satin finishes, but glitter lovers, you’re in luck.
PRICE: $28

September 5th, 2012 at 10:27 amThis looks very pretty and subtle, I like it and you know how much I love highlighters 🙂
Karen says
September 5th, 2012 at 1:24 pmI wish the camera picked up more of the shimmer…it’s even more beautiful in real life!
How was your long weekend? Did you guys do anything fun?
Agata says
September 5th, 2012 at 2:32 pmMy weekend was great. Me and my hubby and another couple rented a cottage by the lake up north Michigan. it was amazing, fun and relaxing.
Karen says
September 5th, 2012 at 2:38 pmThat sounds wonderful. Was the water warm enough to swim in?
Agata says
September 5th, 2012 at 3:39 pmYes it was.
BTW, any swatches or reviews of the MAC office hours collection? I’m looking forward to it, the promo pictures are awesome.
Karen says
September 5th, 2012 at 4:47 pmNice! I hope you got to go swimming.
As for Office Hours, hopefully later this week! I’m really looking forward to it. Also I can’t wait for Face & Body. 🙂

September 5th, 2012 at 10:37 amThis looks very pretty on you! I’m afraid it might sink into my big ol’ pores, though! :-/

September 5th, 2012 at 1:23 pmI know what ya mean. My pores can look pretty big if I’m wearing something too shimmery…the good thing about this highlighting blush, though, is that you can mellow the glitter out. Might be something to think about, or at least swatch next time you’re at Sephora. 🙂

September 5th, 2012 at 11:17 amLooks awesome on you, Karen!
Karen says
September 5th, 2012 at 1:22 pmThanks Nina! How’s it going? It’s a overcast and cold day here in Nor Cal…I’m just trying to stay warm!
Nina says
September 6th, 2012 at 5:32 amIts still hot and humid here! Stay warm – bundle up! Hug Tabs and El Hub!
Karen says
September 6th, 2012 at 10:51 amUh, so jealous! I’m wearing long sleeves and pants right now. It feels foreign!
Kiss & Make-up says
September 5th, 2012 at 11:37 amThis looks like a great highlighter, I like. Not necessarily for myself, but I’d definitely use it on models or clients.

Ankita@corallista says
September 5th, 2012 at 11:39 amIt looks pretty but I wish the glitter was softer and more of a shimmering sheen, it looks lovely on your face though!

September 5th, 2012 at 1:21 pmHi Ankita,
Thank you!
Lulle says
September 5th, 2012 at 11:42 amIt looks very natural on you! I already own a lot of highlighters, and I prefer them with a sheen rather than glitters, so I don’t think this is for me.

September 5th, 2012 at 1:21 pmHi Lulle,
Yeah, the glitter on this one is kinda big, so it might not work. How about something like Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector instead?
Ruchita says
September 5th, 2012 at 11:58 amThis is so pretty! A little bit of glitter now and then can be nice. 🙂
I’m behind on my MBB reading! I was on vacation last week and after getting back I’ve been trying to get caught up with work and life back at home.
Also, for the past couple of weeks we’ve been fostering a stray kitten my husband found at his work. When we found him he was about 8 weeks old and only 2 lbs! All the shelters we called were full, so we took him home with us. It was a bit tough at first trying to figure out how to get him a permanent home, but thankfully my sister-in-law is going to take him. I’m so happy about that b/c I’ll still get to see him on a regular basis.
I will make sure to share some pix. I’m a bit biased, but he’s pretty darn cute. 🙂
Karen says
September 5th, 2012 at 1:20 pmHi Ruchita,
How was vacation? Did you do anything fun? I hope the kitties didn’t miss you too much.
Can’t wait to see the latest addition to the fur fam!
Ruchita says
September 5th, 2012 at 4:27 pmVacation was fun! We went to South Beach and had a nice, relaxing time on the beach. The kitties did well while we were away. I think I missed them more than they missed me. 🙂
Karen says
September 5th, 2012 at 4:46 pmGlad to hear you guys had fun. I know you remembered to wear sunscreen so I won’t lecture you about it, LOL!
Were the kitties extra lovey-dovey when you picked them up? THAT IS THE BEST!
Mojito says
September 5th, 2012 at 2:32 pmI was thinking about getting Miss Liberty, but this one is also veeeeery nice 🙂 Looks pretty natural on you, so the glittery side makes me wonder…
Anna says
September 5th, 2012 at 3:53 pmI think I need this just for the name- one of my favorite Lou Reed songs!
Karen says
September 5th, 2012 at 4:46 pmI’m listening to it right now, Anna. 🙂
musical says
September 5th, 2012 at 5:25 pmHow gorgeous do you look, lady! This highlighter looks so natural on you! Very subtle, and not at all glittery! I might test-drive it during the weekend :).
Karen says
September 5th, 2012 at 5:35 pmThank you, Musical. 🙂 How was your weekend? Did you get a chance to relax?
musical says
September 5th, 2012 at 7:42 pmOh yeah! Long weekend was FUN! Visited my folks on the East Coast and had a great time! So needed this meow time ;).
How about you? Hope you had a really meow worthy long weekend as well :).
Becca @ The Beauty Sample says
September 5th, 2012 at 8:31 pmThe color is just gorgeous–but man, Monsieur Nars REALLY needs to tone it down with the glitter in my opinion. It would be nice if he had more of a balanced mix of mattes, satins, and glitters. Instead, all of his blushes are really in-you-face shimmery/glittery. I guess that’s his thing, but it’s so frustrating for me because I love the colors of the blushes but they always emphasize my pores/add too much shine to my already-oily skin :/
