HIGHEND VS DRUGSTORE: HIGHLIGHTERS

Hey guys, i hope you are all having a great day whatever you are up to! Today i am back with another "high-end vs drugstore" post. As i mentioned in the first installment of this mini series, you don't always have to spend a ton of money on certain items when you can get a "dupe" type of product from the drugstore for a lot less and the products can be equally as good or even better. In my previous post i talked about bronzers, which you can check out here if you haven't already:

1. MAC Mineralize Skinfinish in the shade Soft & Gentle - £23 (highend).

I have two favourite high-end highlighters this one and Albatross by NARS but this one has hands down got to be my favourite out of the two. It is described as a peachy bronze and that is what it is, i can't explain how gorgeous this looks on the skin. I love to pair this with my NARS Laguna bronzer and i feel as if they go hand in hand together.

2. Seventeen Instant Glow Shimmer Brick in the shade Gold Bronze - £4.99 (drugstore).

This shimmer brick is the newest edition to my highlighter collection, i really wanted the Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick but i just couldn't commit to spending that much money and then i read online that this is the perfect dupe for it for so much cheaper. I love how versatile this product is as you can either swirl all the shades together or just pick out an individual shade or even just select two. I also love to apply the lightest shade at the top to the inner corners of my eyes and it really opens them up to make you appear more awake.
