INFLUENSTER | GET THE PERFECT SUMMER GLOW WITH MARC JACOBS HIGHLIGHTER

HAPPY Wednesday, Fashionable Friends!

I WAS RECENTLY SENT THE NEW COCONUT GLOW HIGHLIGHT COMPLIMENTARY, THANKS TO MARC JACOBS BEAUTY AND INFLUENSTER, TO TRY FOR ALL OF YOU.

I'M HERE TODAY WITH MY REVIEW AND FIRST IMPRESSIONS, ALONG WITH PLENTY OF SWATCHES AND DETAILS that might be helpful below.

LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE TRIED IT AND WHAT YOU THINK IN THE COMMENTS BELOW OR ON MY SOCIAL MEDIA! ❤

packaging

---

It comes in a sleek 0.80 fl oz. glass jar with a pump applicator.  I know this isn't ideal for traveling, since it is heavier and glass, but you can simply pump some into a smaller travel jar to take on the go.

COLOR

---

soft, champagne gold with a slight yellow gold undertone that reminds me of sunshine and enhances your natural skin tone to give a sunkissed look.

SCENT

---

THE FIRST THING THAT STRUCK ME WAS THE BEAUTIFUL, NOT OVERPOWERING, SUBTLE SMELL OF COCONUT, WHICH JUST TRANSPORTS YOU INTO SUMMER.

wear

---

it looks quite beautiful on the skin.  However, it can get a little clumpy in areas if you don't blend well and a little goes a long way!  That said, it creates an incredible, natural highlight that truly does last all day.

truth

---

the amount provided will last you quie some time, which warrants the higher price, but you are also paying for the name.  I believe you can create the same affect using a more affordable or drugstore highlight.

nonetheless, it is pretty, the coconut scent makes you feel like you're on vacation, I'd RECOMMEND it and will happily be sporting mine this summer.

LOOKBOOK: AFFORDABLE MIX 'N MATCH SUMMER SWIMWEAR + ACCESSORY DETAILS

HAPPY TUESDAY, FASHIONABLE FRIENDS!

THE WEATHER HAS STARTED TO WARM UP AND IT's making ME SMILE FROM WITHIN.

THIS WEEK, I DID A COLLABORATION WITH AMI CLUBWEAR TO SHOWCASE some of THEIR SWIM LINE and splash into THIS summer in style!

Their selection is endless and affordable so you can try a few.  I MIX 'N MATCHED mine to SHOW HOW VERSATILE IT IS and make it fit my body type.

I'm bigger in the hip area, than up top, so, I always get a bigger bottom. Remember to have fun with it, and you can mix and match swimwear with Pieces you own or styles and cuts you like and feel most comfortablE.

SIZING NOTE: THE SWIMWEAR DOES RUN RATHER SMALL, INCLUDING ONE PIECES. SO, IF YOU AREN'T INTO THE ITSY BITSY TINY WINEY, SO TO SPEAK, or have hips, I WOULD RECOMMEND SIZING UP, ESPECIALLY ON BOTTOMS.

What's your favorite style swimwear? I love tankinis & Scallop Details! ❤
