I wait all year long for the holiday season to come and this year the “Glow up” is real. Forget Frosty the snowman, this year the only frost you’ll need is on your face. Unless you’ve been living under a rock, this season strobing/highlighting your cheekbones has been the IT thing in the makeup world. Celebrate this holiday season by frosting your skin with the season’s most popular highlighters. Who knows maybe your secret Santa will bless you with one of these palettes on your Holiday list!

Anastasia Beverly Hills Glow Kit Ultimate Glow

Anastasia Beverly Hills Glow Kit Ultimate Glow is a collection of six limited edition powder highlighters available in shimmering luster and metallic pearl finishes. You can mix these shades and layer them together or they can also be worn separately.

NYX Strobe of Genius Illuminating Palette

This next palette will add glow to your complexion! It is

the NYX Strobe of Genius Illuminating Palette, which comes with seven different

powder highlighters. This palette is the perfect option for a solid beginner makeup

collection, best part of it all it goes for less than $20!

Star Light, Star Bright Highlighting Palette

This Stila trio is a little higher price wise, but they’re definitely worth it. This trio can be used for your everyday makeup or you can build it up to have an intense strobed look.

Colour Pop Highlighter

One of my favorite highlighters at the moment is from Colour Pop. Not only is it less than $10 but it is very pigmented. They have various colors, the one I use is Wisp, and it’s a golden champagne highlighter with hues of gold, perfect for a bronzed strobed look. They’re also awesome to use as a base under any powder highlighter for a more pigmented look.

Jeffree Star Highlighters

I personally haven't tried any of the Jeffree Star highlighter yet, but I've heard amazing things about them. He has the basic cool tone, gold tone highlighters but he has also released some funkier colors, like the Deep Freeze or Lavender Snow highlighters. These highlighters are for sure on my Christmas/Birthday list. (Yes, early holiday gifts are welcomed)

High Beam Liquid Face Highlighter

Last but not least this is another one of my go-to highlighters. This high beam liquid highlighter is from benefit. I love using this on an everyday basis, as a base for my powder highlighters and sometimes I even like mixing it with my foundation when I want to go for a more dewy look. It's perfect for any summer day or a frosty winter night.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
