Whether you’ll just admire them, or use them everyday, make room for these powders in your makeup bag.

1) Shu Uemura’s Tsumori Chisato Limited Edition Duo Color Highlighter Golden Snow – From the Shu holiday collection, a partnership with Japanese artist Tsumori Chisato, this celestial “lucky cat” compact is The Beauty Bug’s favorite product from the collection.  Sweep this sheer warm silver powder over blush, or use it as a highlighter on the brow bone and reveal an ethereal glow. Dazzle like an ice queen, or delicately twinkle like a fairy with this powder.  $40*

2) Lancome’s Sparkling Cherub Sheer Warm Illuminating Powder – The Beauty Bug wore this powder today, and as soon as She got to work one of Her co-workers immediately said, “There’s something different with your makeup today, you’re glowing!” Coated with a thin layer of adult glitter (not too flashy, juvenile or over done, and very flattering) that will dissipate after the first few applications, the powder is a gorgeous, radiant shade that adds life to your face.  She uses this Coastal Scents Italian Badger Buffer Brush to apply and buffs, buffs and then buffs some more.  Definitely the stand out in Lancome’s Holiday Collection. Besides, who can resist a chubby cherub holding a heart? $40*

3) Prescriptives Limited Edition Lustre Cheek Color – Housed in a festive Holiday compact adorned with snowflakes, this powder is probably one of the most subtle and understated of the bunch, but shouldn’t be overlooked. Apply to the apples of cheeks for that fresh-out-of-the-cold look. $24*

4) Estée Lauder 5-Tone Shimmer Powder – This versatile, multi-tone powder is a winner because of it’s silky-fine finish and the natural, radiant flush it creates on the skin.  The colors are beautifully sheer, and iridescent.  Available in two shades, pink shimmer and bronze shimmer, it can be used all over the face, and on eyes.  Fair skinned ladies, opt for the pink shimmer; ladies with deeper, olive skin opt for the bronze shimmer.  Add a layer over your blush to brighten, and finish. Insta-glow.  Plus – it’s one of two products  mentioned that’s not limited edition. Score. $36*

5) Trish McEvoy Instant Pick-Me-Up All Over Face Color Quad – The Beauty Bug hearts this quad that allows you to bronze, blush, luminize and highlight. It’s a do-it-all-and-then-some product; one stop shopping! The only let down? It doesn’t come with the compact.  The Color Quad only will set you back $42, while the compact is an additional $17.50.**

6) Benefit’s One Hot Minute – This loose rose-gold powder perks up any skin tone without any glitter, or too much shimmer. It gives skin a beautiful, subtle, sun-kissed sheen that’s nearly colorless on cheeks. Fair complected girls may be able to get away with using this in place of a bronzer, where darker complected girls use this as an enhancer.  Toss the brush that it comes with, and use one in your stash.  Dash a bit on your shoulders and collar bone for some more flare. $30*

Prescriptives Fall Collection, Daring, is both bold and neutral. It possesses an alluring mystique and sophistication. The core new collection consists of four limited edition Fall Dimensions Eye Color Quads, one for each color family, a limited edition Fall Dimensions for Cheeks and Eyes, and a limited edition Sparkle Eye Pencil.

Only a few days into fall and just starting to get used to wearing long sleeves again, The Beauty Bug was looking for a shadow that matched the brisk mood. Relic, from the red/orange color quad, was the color that attracted Her; it’s a burnt amber with just the right amount of sparkle. It complimented her new MM Couture by Miss Me jersey perfectly. She applied Malt Sparkle to Her lid, and blended Relic into the crease first with a smaller more concentrated brush, then continued to blend with a bigger, fluffier brush.  Warm and rich, the color made Her brown eyes pop.

The Beauty Bug’s other collection pick is the Dimensions for Cheeks and Eyes. She uses this as a highlighter and applies it from the outer edge of Her eyebrow to the top of Her cheekbone to create a glow.

Prescriptives Daring fall collection is available at Prescriptives.com and at Prescriptives counters nationwide. Fall Dimenions Eye Color Quad retails for $42. Fall Dimensions for Cheeks and Eyes retails for $35.

Prescriptives Moonbeam reflective gloss – I was very close to buying this one, but I needed to walk around with it on for a while and get use to it. In the tube, it looks very dark, but it’s not that extreme when you put it on. I think I like it because it’s less purple and more deep cranberry.

Lancome Juicy Tubes Smoothie in Exquisite – I didnt even know that Lancome had different types of Juicy Tubes – where have I been? I went to check out Exquisite because Allure recommended it, and it’s just not for my skin type – has a lot of purple it in. Alblaze looks pretty though, another one to check out on my next lunchtime beauty break.

Chanel Glossimers in Imaginaire – This one was my second favorite, because while still being a true berry color with a purple/rasberry tinge, it still had a sheerness to it with lots of sparkle. If I won the lottery, and could buy every beauty product I wanted, I would make sure that I have this one!

Pur Minerals Pout Plumping Lip Gloss in Deep Amethyst – Another one that Allure receommended, espeically for the paler ladies (that’s me!). I didn’t get a chance to check out this one yet because I think it’s only sold at Sephora, but I certainly want to check it out before I buy anything – but lord knows I don’t need anymore plump to my lips.

To be continued when i make my purchase…
