POWDER HIGHLIGHT: GOLDEN GLOW

Hello everyone! In my recent current everyday makeup favourites: base products post, i mentioned that i have been loving gold/bronze toned highlighters at the moment and i have also been trying out a couple of new ones. So i for today's post i thought i would share with you some of the gold toned powder highlighters, that i have been reaching for recently and a couple of them happen to be complete bargains.


This particular highlighter is a new edition to my collection, but i believe this shade was new in from mua earlier on in the year. The pigmentation on this highlighter is insane, especially as it only costs £3 from mua store online or superdrug. This particular shade golden afterglow, is the most stunning bronze/gold colour and even looks beautiful doubled up as a eye-lid shade, which i have been doing as well as applying it to my face. 


Another product from the brand mua, but this time from their luxe range and a range i am a huge fan of. As you can probably tell this product is so well loved the writing has started to come away from the packaging, as it is probably one of my favourite drugstore highlighters. Rather than your typical highlighter which tends to be pressed in a pan, this highlighter is loose and can be dispersed by simply twisting the pot slightly. This particular shade gold is literally what it says it is, a true gold toned finely milled highlighter for just £5.

This highlighter is a new one to not only my collection but also from the brand makeup revolution, another bargain highlighter from the drugstore costing only £5 too. When i received this in the mail i was so shocked at how huge the pan was for the price/pigmentation of the product, yet again makeup revolution has amazed me. This particular shade golden kiss is a stunning light gold shade, great for people for pale/medium skin tones and the compact also contains a mirror, which always comes in handy right?


Finally we have the only higher end highlighter from the bunch, which happens to be the one i shared in that current everyday makeup favourites post and the one i have been obsessed with since i got my hands on it. I mentioned how originally this product was limited edition but thank the gods mac decided to make this a permanent shade, as it is literally the most beautiful pure metallic gold toned highlight that is a liquid-powder formula. This highlighter retails for £24.50 and can be purchased from mac or debenmhams.

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.
