Highlighter's From Heaven

I have an addiction to makeup as most of you know but the makeup I am most addicted to is highlighters. I have so many that if I never bought another one for my entire life I would still have plenty. I have them in many different formulas, colors, price points and level of highlight. They are my favorite makeup product to play with and make myself look  dewy and fresh or like a glowing goddess and even full on shine like diamond that can be seen from space. Most makeup companies have some type of highlighter in their lines, from drugstore to high end so there a lot of options out there. My recent favorite is from Cover FX and it is called Custom Enhancer drops. There are six shades in all with 4 being highlighters and 2 bronzing shades. They are packaged in a glass jar with a dropper dispenser which is great because when I say you need a tiny drop, I really mean a TINY drop. They are like liquid metal and blend out beautifully over and under makeup or even mixed in with your favorite foundation or base. The formula is unlike any highlighter I have used in my life. They are definitely game changers when it comes to highlighting products. My favorites are Celestial (lightest shade with pink/silver) and Moonstone (second lightest shade more of a pink/champagne color). As most of you know Cover FX  is a gluten free brand and clearly labels their products gluten free (all other makeup companies take note). The Custom Enhancer drops are selling like crazy so if you are in search of a new highlighter I would go online and pick up your favorite at Sephora or on Cover FX's website. Happy Highlighting!!

Triggers

Many people ask me about having Celiac disease and Lupus my entire life and why I didn't show symptoms until my 20's. The thing about auto immune diseases is they can be dormant in a way that leaves you with no symptoms whatsoever. Then when your body goes through a trauma the disease can be triggered. Trauma can be anything from a severe case of the flu or pneumonia, a bad car accident, or even the welcomed trauma of giving birth (the baby is welcome but all the changes your body goes through can be very traumatic process for your body), etc... I went through a very traumatic experience when I started showing signs of Celiac disease but never knew that my experience triggered my symptoms and the disease itself. We know all these different things like stress, a bad diet and lack of excersize can cause major health problems both mentally and physically. They are triggers for many diseases even if you are not predisposed to them. An auto immune disease can hide itself for many years until it decides to stick it's menacing face out when you already down for the count dealing with something else. It kind of kicks you when you are down. Does that mean I could have prevented getting Lupus or Celiac disease if I wouldn't gone through such a traumatic experience? No, because something else would have just brought it on. It could have been something as simple as catching a bad stomach bug.
