In May 2019, Devinah released two collections at the same time: Xploders and Galaxy Dust. I’ve already posted swatches of both on my Instagram, but felt it was time to give those swatches an upgrade.

Y’all aren’t ready for this one. Kristen Leigh Cosmetics is bringing back their beautiful Birthday Bash highlighter for a final restock. As you’ll see below, this is a multidimensional, shifty, one-of-a-kind highlighter. It definitely makes you want to celebrate!
