wearing Maybelline’s Master Hi-Light Powder blush in Coral ($9.99) on my cheeks
Let the record show that as of today, in my official capacity as the mayor of this little beauty burg, I formally proclaim this to be the season to go totally and completely bat-sh*t cra-zay-zay for coral.

(The beep is supposed to make it official.)

Kuka on mukana?!

Lately, everywhere I go, I feel like a makeup prospector mining coral gems on shelves and counters, and these are the coral gold rush days.

“Eureka!” I frequently exclaim. There are just so many gorgeous corals out there these days, like this Master Hi-Light Powder blush in Coral by Maybelline, waiting for nice cat ladies (and other friendly folks) to discover them.

Dude, I almost can’t believe this is only $10! — because it looks like a $42 Bobbi brown Shimmer brick on my cheeks, only better. I get that same ethereal Shimmer brick glow with it, but with a more diffused and forgiving finish.

Hi-Light contains a bit of everything — an illuminator, a bronzer and a blush — all in one pan.

I’ll usually swirl my brush around in it to mix the products together and apply that to my cheeks for a softly blended coral glow. then I’ll run a finger across the lightest shade in the pan, and apply that down the bridge of my nose, on my upper cheekbones and on my Cupid’s bow as a highlighter.

It lasts all day long, doesn’t oxidize, and I think it looks natural. A bonafide drugstore gem.

Oh, and if coral isn’t your cup of tea, Hi-Light Powder blush also comes in Pink Rose, Mauve and Nude.

All four shades are available now at drugstores, Ulta stores and online.

P.S. I’m back from the salon! I read lots of trashy gossip mags (Oh, us Weekly…you are my jam!), so my batteries feel recharged.

I’ll post pictures of my new ‘do soon. hope you’re having a good afternoon.
