splurge vs bargain - highlighter eddition

One of the biggest trends at the moment is highlighters and no I'm not talking about the neon colored sharpie markers, highlighters to essentially make you glow! Girls everywhere are spending tremendous amount of money to buy products like the becca highlighters and 
the new glow kit that ABH just released and the benefit liquid highlighters. These high end highlighters sell at 20-90$ each depending the brand. Even though these highlighter are too die for the cost are ridiculous, so I decided to do my research and to test a few cheaper products similar to those I already mentioned and I actually found a few products that were almost 3 times cheaper and worked just as go as the high end brands ones.

The first product I tried was the elf color stick that comes in two different colors persimmon and spotlight, I fell in love with this product the first time I used it, it's so easy to apply and it's very similar to the benefit high beam highlighter, this product is great for people with oily sensitive skin this product did not make me breakout either. I also loved that this product is so small it’s a  perfect on the go product.  Another I loved about the elf highlighter was that it was only 1$ compared to the high end one which sells for 27$. I'll definitely be using the elf highlighter for now on!  


The next products I tested out was NYX  liquid illuminator which u can find at your local drugstore (rexall) . One of the reasons why I was exacted to use this product was because its liquid also the color looked so pretty it would really compliment any skin tone. I found that this product was very similar to the becca champagne pop highlighter which I absolutely love did I mention the NYX illuminate was only 7$
