Glitter Attack

NYX Glitter Cream Palette

Usually not a glitter person but saw these in Ulta and thought they might be fun.

Luscious, Sole Love

Overall, I love the palette and the cream bronzer. The textures of the products are very soft, and the color pigmentation is very sheer. When applied to the skin, they give the skin a very natural finish. All of Josie Maran products also contain Argan Oil which is beneficial to the skin. 

However, I do not like the lipsticks because the smell is not pleasant at all, and I just don't see anything special about them.

The prices for these products are pretty high, and I just can't see myself paying full price on them. They are all on sale on the Josie Maran website.
