Hel Heim I have hooded eyes too, but they don't bother me anymore because I realized that when I blink or look down, people get a "peek-a-boo" at my eyeshadows, which I think is cool. Kind of like, "Surprise! Check out what's under here." I also think having hooded eyes makes it easier for me to experiment with different colors and looks because they're not as visible, so I'm not as self-conscious. All of this might sound weird, but it helps me feel better about my eyelids. I hope that makes even a tiny bit of sense. ☺
I like to put clear nail polish over the names of things so they don't wear off! Especially colorpop's logo because it's so cute but it wears off so fast 😂
I really appreciate all the info you put in your description! It's not just a list of all the products but how many shades and how much it costs!! It must take a long time, but it's really helpful. Thank you!!
I love watching you because you have such great command of language, wide vocabulary and seldom go “uh...uh.” You are enthusiastic about makeup and come off very genuine. Keep up the good work!
You have such a calming video. Usually I skip over videos in my feed that I have no interest in, but I tend to click on yours anyway just to listen to your voice. So intelligent!
I own several of these highlighters, and by far and away, my favorite highlighter is the Physician's Formula. Because it is composed of so many different colors and shades, I can custom make my highlighter shade to match my look on any given day. Thanks for sharing your picks, Jessica!
They changed the names to the highlighter sticks but they are so good for the price! You do need to work with them though like blending wise. They also both smell like fruit loops 😍
I absolutely love the essence nude highlighter! However, I have noticed on my fair skin I can get heavy handed with it. My favorite everyday natural highlight is Reserve Your Cabana from Wet & Wild. 👌🏼
I held this up to my face at Ulta and looked in a mirror and was surprised at how much darker it is than my skin. I don't know how Jessica is able to wear this, since her skin is lighter than mine.
I LOVE those Wet n Wild highlighters!! I have both shades & they both look beautiful on my medium/tan skin tone. I use Precious Petals when I want more of a pop & Crown of My Canopy when I want a more natural color but still with a pop. I reach more for those than my Anastasia Beverly Hills Glow Kits. These highlighters are my actual holy grail items. I just wish they weren't so hard to find in stores. Took me forever to find Precious Petals
omgosh....i almost threw out my elf baked highlighter tonight just because it wasn't pigmented!! You have to rub & rub & hardly anything comes off! I'll try to scrape off the top layer & see what happens. TY!!
I'm so shocked you didn't talk about your Pixi highlight! lol Love this, always worried to buy drugstore highlights because its so hit and miss so this is awesome
Katherine Stephens if you're in the states CVS has a money back guarantee if you don't love them. I tried a foundation only to realize it wasn't my shade, so I returned it no problem.
You are my absolute fav youtuber!! I love how genuine and honest you are, something that's hard to find these days in a youtuber! Keep up amazing videos ❤️
I have been watching your videos for the last 8 months and I'm obsessed! As I'm watching this i can't help but look at how glowy your skin is! It looks so good and your makeup is gorgeous today!❤
I was so happy when I got the notification that you posted a new video! I really needed a new review about highlighters that was recent, and it helped me a lot to find new information about the Elf highlighters bc I've been wanting to buy them. Overall great video!😊
7 ปีที่แล้ว +43
I wish essence came out with a lighter shade , that highlighter is like 3 shades darker than my skin
I don't understand why Essence keeps discontinuing such great products!! The Pure Nude highlighter has been discontinued here in Europe.... so grab it while you can. They usually discontinue those products in America too, but a little bit later than over here. xoxo
I love that you recommend drugstore products as much or more as higher end. I like to splurge and buy higher end occasionally but for the most part I like the drugstore price tag lol I am a firm believer that some drugstore products are just as good and thanks to youtubers like you we can know which ones they are before we spend money on them. I want a couple of the Malani highlighters and the one by Essence. I will be ordering those three really soon. Love you Jessica.
I absolutely agree with you on the elf baked highlighter. When I buy a product I don't want to have to do extra steps for it to perform. Originally I was disappointed in the elf illuminating palette but I recently realized it was the brush I was using that wasn't actually picking up/distributing the product! I'm excited to pull it back on use it again.
I really like the baked blush in pinktastic. It's like a light rose and looks so pretty like highlighter. And I have to say I like a natural pretty glow, I don't like to be like a spotlight and accentuate my texture.
I just bought the Rimmel foundation you recommended in your best & worst drugstore foundation video! (.....and the wet n wild one, if we're being honest) now I'm gonna have to go out and buy some new highlighters! If Jessica recommends it, I tries it! I love you girl! 💗❤️ another awesome video thank you!!!
I agree about the elf baked. Tried them wet,dry,scraped them. I just gave them away. I have too many that work beautifully and easily. I like the illuminators best. The elf quad, the PUR afterglow, reserve your cabana, MR illuminating pallete, clinique stick. PUR afterglow is so overlooked. I remember you talking about it. It is lovely.
I honestly love the elf baked highlighters. This is only because I repressed them. It's a bit of extra work, but it's really worth that extra time. It's a beautifully pigmented and subtle highlighter!
Great video! Always on the lookout for new highlighters!! Totally agree with the elf. You shouldn't have to scrap off a layer. Love your little pineapple! ❤️
My first thought when seeing you posted this video: Yay, what a fun video! My second thought: Noooo, if she mentions top items I don't already have, I'll go buy them! Me now: Hoping you love what I already own because I have highlighters to last me til I die and then some! :)
The Essence highlighter is the only highlighter that has wowed me in the last two years. I use it almost everyday and I like it much better than my high end highlighters. I think the Essence highlighter is a perfect choice for mature skin--it's not matte, but it doesn't emphasize fine lines or texture. I love it.
I agree with you about the ELF baked highlighters. I scrap it off into the plastic and then apply. It works only if you just want a little. I use them for a basic look. I have that liquid Highlighter but haven't used it yet. I have a whole box of ELF I need to use.
Makeup Revolution highlighters are sooo good! I have both the radiance and highlight trio palettes and they're stunning, even the highlighters that are in the blush palettes are beautiful.
I'm glad I watched this video. I bought an ELF highlighter and, like you, I didn't think it had any pigment so I've never used it and I keep thinking I should just throw it away. I'm going to try scraping off the top and see if it works. Thank you for the info!
I was so excited to buy my elf highlighters and when I got them I was so upset... then I went to TH-cam and realized I should scrape off the first layer. They work better now but I'm still not in love with them. I don't get why they get all the hype.
I bought the elf highlighter the other day, I didn't know I had to scrape the top layer off, so I'll try that, but I don't think I'll be impressed. I had to try so hard to get anything to show up on my ghostly skin. So I totally agree with you! Not worth the hype.
I was on the elf website the other day and I think it now says something about a protective layer that you have to remove. Either it's meant to be there or this is to cover what everyone is saying about how hard it is to get any color payoff. I had one of the blushes but it was light like a highlighter and don't remember having the same issue.
Try Makeup Revolution Pro Illuminate Highlight!!! It's amazing & only cost $7!!! I have a lot of high end highlighters but I find myself reaching for this one way more than the high end highlighters! Makeup Revolution also has a highlight called Skin Kiss...also $7 mine is in Golden Kiss. I believe they have 3 different shades to choose from. ✨✨✨😊😊😊
Makeup Revolution has an amazing amount of different illuminating and strobe highlighters. Love the ones you mentioned. I have all the Skin Kisses and believe they are dupes for the Jeffery Star Highlighter but I don't own the ones from Jeffery Star so can't verify. They have like 5 highlighter palettes and a strobe and highlight palette. You can get many of them at Ulta but some you have to order from the MUR website. The one in England is better than the American site and they lowered the total to only $40 dollars to get free shipping from England. Sorry obsessed with MUR products.They are all so amazing. LOL.
I was in 5 Below & they had one of your favorite oldie's Reserve Your Cabana. So, I bought it!!! It's so light, I can use it as a setting powder. I also bought a Becca highlighter from HauteLook!!! I know about HauteLook because of you, Jessica!!!! :)
Jessica! Beautiful as always. I don't normally comment, but I've been watching you for a long time now. I 💜 you & your honest reviews & ALL of your content, you always work so hard. That being said, I'm on my way to Sephora to return/exchange my Kevyn Aucoin Celestial Powder gah lol. I'm crazy I know but that's expensive & I didn't find that I liked it any better than some of the great HL's you've mentioned here. The MUR ones are great, they don't swatch so well but look great on. Def going to try some others you mentioned. Great job! 💜🎈
Yup, got rid of my elf highlighters, as well, for exactly the same reason. I didn't even like them after scraping. I'm a lover of the essence pure nude highlighter, also. The NYX liquid illuminators - I use them with my liquid foundations! I'm completely in love with Crown of my Canopy!! I have the Rose Gold Lights in the Makeup Revolution. LOVE! It's a dark pinky shade. If you do go for it, use it with a LIGHT HAND. I'm a woman of color so I can get away with wearing it a little bit heavier. Great video!!
I had the same issue with the hard candy radiant drops! That is so weird! I thought mine were just bad. I immediately returned them. 👍🏻 love your videos by the way! I watch pretty much every one 💕
I never scraped of the top layer on my elf highlighters and I love how they look. Never felt I needed to, and really have no idea why people tell you to scrap off the top layer.
You should try MUR's Strobing powders, Moon Lights & Holographic Lights are so incredible! Moon Lights gives a very subtle glow, while Holographic Lights is a duochromatic of a light golden green.
The Milani highlighter was the first one I ever purchased and I love it, but the Essence one is definitely my go to drugstore highlighter. I rarely do a glow to the gods look, so the subtlety of the Essence one fits my style perfectly. Now, I definitely have higher end ones I use as well, but I always find my way back to the Essence lol.
Sookkis Way I just scrape it into the plastic lid and apply it each time. I use it every so often if I just want a little highlight. I won't repurchase.
I have a lot of these guys and totally agree with your reviews on all of them! I was so happy you loved the Essence NUDE Highlighter. It's made in Italy and I suspect, at the same factory as some high end brands (same with their eyeshadows). Makeup Revolution has a ton of amazing highlighters which you can get on their TAM BEAUTY website. They ship internationally, and it's FREE shipping (and no tax) on orders over $40 US to Canada and the US. I'd love to try Milani but they charge $20 US for one item and it goes up the more you add!
i have the elf illuminating palette and the wet n wild reserve your cabana! definitely perfect for everyday use and for those who just can't jump into the "highlight those cheeks like you wanna blind a b*tch"!
I have the L'Oreal Liquid Illuminator in Ice which is really nice but I find myself reaching for the powder version in Rose. It really love it lasts a long time. I lucked out when they put them on clearance at my grocery store. I got them for $3.24 a piece which was 75% off. I grabbed 2 for me and 2 for my sister.
great video! I am still looking for the perfect highlighter. I have the Essence but it is too dark so I use it as a blush. I am going to look for the liquid Elf highlighter for sure
I had an Elf baked highlighter that I really liked. I recently replaced it and didn't like it nearly as much. Now, I realize that it's probably because the first shattered in half and the top fell off almost immediately. Didn't know about the scraping tip, but I think it helped!
Physician's Formula highlight is AMAZING. I use it especially on mature skin as a natural glow. I love it on myself as well and it's also awesome for bridal makeup. It's so great for all skin types and ages.
I agree with your comment about wet n wild precious petals. I got it cause everyone raves about it and I found it too dark for my fair skin tone. So bummed. I may get the essence one. That looks perfect for my color! Thanks for your review. Love this video.
Jessica, sorry to tell you but the Essence highlighter apparently isn't produced anymore. Essence is a german brand and they don't have this highlighter anymore in their collection in germany, so maybe you want to stock up on it while you can :)
I've never tried the elf baked highlighters but they have a baked BLUSH called pintastic that is far too light to use as a blush. I haven't had a problem with intensity or pay off. I also didn't have to scrape to make it work. There is very little powder and it lasts for a really long time.
I was using the elf one with no issue but it made my pores look crazy and it was too glittery. I bought the Away We Glow and I like that but I also bought the Dose of Dew and I like that more! Such a subtle sheen! Because I just want to look a little dewy it's perfect without a crazy bright or glittery highlight.
this video was awesome! I would love to see you do bronzers next. is anyone else crazy like me and turning this into a declutter video in your head? I'm thinking, get rid of the hard candy ones and the elf ones, except the elf palette, etc.....
Who else is jealous of Jessica's lid space?!
An odd thing to be jealous of but I am! :D
Melissa O'Neill I most definitely am since I'm stuck with terrible hooded eyes.
Melissa O'Neill yes. Me.
Hel Heim I have hooded eyes too, but they don't bother me anymore because I realized that when I blink or look down, people get a "peek-a-boo" at my eyeshadows, which I think is cool. Kind of like, "Surprise! Check out what's under here."

All of this might sound weird, but it helps me feel better about my eyelids. I hope that makes even a tiny bit of sense. ☺
monolid with a baby crease. I fake a crease every time.
I like to put clear nail polish over the names of things so they don't wear off! Especially colorpop's logo because it's so cute but it wears off so fast 😂
mady isnt here Oh em Genius! Ofra too.. That's such a great idea thanks for the tip
mady isnt here I do that with cheap jewelry lol it keeps it from turning ur ear or finger colors and they don't tarnish as fast
mady isnt here i put clear tape on top of the writing 😂
mady isnt here I do that with my brushes. ❤️❤️❤️
mady isnt here good idea. Thanks
Please do a bronze and contour best and worst from the drug store! 😻
I really appreciate all the info you put in your description! It's not just a list of all the products but how many shades and how much it costs!! It must take a long time, but it's really helpful. Thank you!!
I love watching you because you have such great command of language, wide vocabulary and seldom go “uh...uh.” You are enthusiastic about makeup and come off very genuine. Keep up the good work!
You have such a calming video. Usually I skip over videos in my feed that I have no interest in, but I tend to click on yours anyway just to listen to your voice. So intelligent!
I like this format, Jessica! It's easy to follow yet flexible enough to modify without having to re-number, etc.
I own several of these highlighters, and by far and away, my favorite highlighter is the Physician's Formula. Because it is composed of so many different colors and shades, I can custom make my highlighter shade to match my look on any given day. Thanks for sharing your picks, Jessica!
You should try the elf shimmering facial whips, and if they still have them the all over color sticks :)
They changed the names to the highlighter sticks but they are so good for the price! You do need to work with them though like blending wise. They also both smell like fruit loops 😍
I absolutely love the essence nude highlighter! However, I have noticed on my fair skin I can get heavy handed with it. My favorite everyday natural highlight is Reserve Your Cabana from Wet & Wild. 👌🏼
Same, I love it so much but it ends up looking like a bronzer for me if I am not careful :(
The essence one is so dark on me, it's crazy!
Felisha Albert I know it's so sad. :( Wish they had a lighter version because the formula is amazing.
I held this up to my face at Ulta and looked in a mirror and was surprised at how much darker it is than my skin. I don't know how Jessica is able to wear this, since her skin is lighter than mine.
It looks almost like a blush highlighter on me. I love it. I never hear anyone talk about it. It really is so nice.
Jessica, can you please please review The Body Shop Powder Bronzer!
I LOVE those Wet n Wild highlighters!! I have both shades & they both look beautiful on my medium/tan skin tone. I use Precious Petals when I want more of a pop & Crown of My Canopy when I want a more natural color but still with a pop. I reach more for those than my Anastasia Beverly Hills Glow Kits.

I like these reviews on one product type: foundation, highlighters, etc! Great job keep em coming Jess
Totally off topic but I'm loving that pineapple jar behind u 😍
Me too. I have found myself looking for it in her videos. Would like to know where to purchase.☺.
AntoniettaNacc TJ MAXX or Target!! I've seen them at both of those stores 😘
Thank you!
I'm so shocked you didn't talk about your Pixi highlight! lol Love this, always worried to buy drugstore highlights because its so hit and miss so this is awesome

Tímea Tarjányi YES. I love the way it looks, but it's too dark for me 🙃
Tímea Tarjányi they do have different shades! I saw them at Fred Meyer tho haven't seen them in Ulta.
I don't understand why Essence keeps discontinuing such great products!! The Pure Nude highlighter has been discontinued here in Europe.... so grab it while you can. They usually discontinue those products in America too, but a little bit later than over here. xoxo

I am loving all of the drugstore makeup videos. I used to be a makeup snob and I’m finding such good stuff in the drug stores! Thanks for sharing!! 😊

I love your videos! You're honest and direct, and I love the variety of products you review. Please keep up the great content!
wet n wild is drugstore highlighter god!!!
Would love to see an updated Mary Kay video, their Ultimate Mascara and Satin Lips lip balm are still my holy grail 😍
I honestly love the elf baked highlighters. This is only because I repressed them. It's a bit of extra work, but it's really worth that extra time. It's a beautifully pigmented and subtle highlighter!
When you were mentioning about the highlighter from Wetnwild. You can also use the color icon ombré blush as a highlighter.
My Bed Bath and Beyond started selling milani and you can use their coupons on them!!! Love your videos!!!
This was a great, thorough, helpful video and your point about how equal in quality drugstore highlighters have become is so true!!! Subscribed.
I just love these types of videos!
Great video! Always on the lookout for new highlighters!! Totally agree with the elf. You shouldn't have to scrap off a layer. Love your little pineapple! ❤️
I have a million red lip products, but your lips make me want to go buy this one!! Thanks for being through and honest as always!!
With the Elf one... I scraped off the entire thing into a bowl and repressed it with alcohol. I absolutely love it now! It's AWESOME!!
My first thought when seeing you posted this video: Yay, what a fun video!
My second thought: Noooo, if she mentions top items I don't already have, I'll go buy them!
Me now: Hoping you love what I already own because I have highlighters to last me til I die and then some! :)
Letty Brown - exactly! 😄👍🏻
You're in my head!
The top layer of the elf baked highliter is there to help protect from breaking during shipping
The Essence highlighter is the only highlighter that has wowed me in the last two years. I use it almost everyday and I like it much better than my high end highlighters. I think the Essence highlighter is a perfect choice for mature skin--it's not matte, but it doesn't emphasize fine lines or texture. I love it.

Makeup Revolution highlighters are sooo good! I have both the radiance and highlight trio palettes and they're stunning, even the highlighters that are in the blush palettes are beautiful.

Where can i find elf highlighters???
Banafsheh Joon Walmart

Please continue this series!! It's soooo helpful
Try Makeup Revolution Pro Illuminate Highlight!!! It's amazing & only cost $7!!! I have a lot of high end highlighters but I find myself reaching for this one way more than the high end highlighters! Makeup Revolution also has a highlight called Skin Kiss...also $7 mine is in Golden Kiss. I believe they have 3 different shades to choose from. ✨✨✨😊😊😊
Allyson Drake i have that too, it's seriously amazing💕
Majority of Makeup revolution highlighters are best.❤️
Makeup Revolution has an amazing amount of different illuminating and strobe highlighters. Love the ones you mentioned. I have all the Skin Kisses and believe they are dupes for the Jeffery Star Highlighter but I don't own the ones from Jeffery Star so can't verify. They have like 5 highlighter palettes and a strobe and highlight palette. You can get many of them at Ulta but some you have to order from the MUR website. The one in England is better than the American site and they lowered the total to only $40 dollars to get free shipping from England. Sorry obsessed with MUR products.They are all so amazing. LOL.
Allyson Drake I just had to comment bc I never met another Allyson that spelled their name the same way!!!! 😊👍👋
Allyson Wonderland I spell my name Allyson too!!!
I have the makeup revolution pro glow palette and it's also amazing❤️
wow i'm surprisingly early!! love your videos 💓 you quickly have become one of my favorite youtubers!
I was in 5 Below & they had one of your favorite oldie's Reserve Your Cabana. So, I bought it!!! It's so light, I can use it as a setting powder. I also bought a Becca highlighter from HauteLook!!! I know about HauteLook because of you, Jessica!!!! :)
Jessica! Beautiful as always. I don't normally comment, but I've been watching you for a long time now. I 💜 you & your honest reviews & ALL of your content, you always work so hard.

The MUR ones are great, they don't swatch so well but look great on. Def going to try some others you mentioned. Great job! 💜🎈
I bought the essence highlighter last week based on your recommendation and I'm loving it!
I was waiting for Makeup revolution Skin kiss highlighters review😫
Please do video on that too.😚
Yup, got rid of my elf highlighters, as well, for exactly the same reason. I didn't even like them after scraping. I'm a lover of the essence pure nude highlighter, also. The NYX liquid illuminators - I use them with my liquid foundations! I'm completely in love with Crown of my Canopy!! I have the Rose Gold Lights in the Makeup Revolution. LOVE! It's a dark pinky shade. If you do go for it, use it with a LIGHT HAND. I'm a woman of color so I can get away with wearing it a little bit heavier. Great video!!
Wow Jessica your hair looks absolutely gorgeous!!!
I love the Ulta brand highlighter in the white shade for my very pale skin! It's so cheap but so good!
for a dollar I'm scrape it
Jena Penrod that's what I was thinking
Jena Penrod exactly I'm willing to scrape it off for that price like if they had a machine it would cost 5 dollars so save your money fam
Jena Penrod but they're 3$ lol
Exactly
literally theu are like 3-4 dollars
Your opinion on essence highlighter is absolutely correct!!
You mentioned liking hard candy products. Have you done a best/worst on their brand? I didn’t find one but I’d love to see one!
I had the same issue with the hard candy radiant drops! That is so weird! I thought mine were just bad. I immediately returned them. 👍🏻 love your videos by the way! I watch pretty much every one 💕
I never scraped of the top layer on my elf highlighters and I love how they look. Never felt I needed to, and really have no idea why people tell you to scrap off the top layer.
The revolution vivid baked highlighter in peach lights is blinding! It's a must try!
I love the NYX face gloss too and have been wondering why people aren't talking about it! It's also a total dupe for the RMS Living Luminizer
You should try MUR's Strobing powders, Moon Lights & Holographic Lights are so incredible! Moon Lights gives a very subtle glow, while Holographic Lights is a duochromatic of a light golden green.
The Milani highlighter was the first one I ever purchased and I love it, but the Essence one is definitely my go to drugstore highlighter. I rarely do a glow to the gods look, so the subtlety of the Essence one fits my style perfectly. Now, I definitely have higher end ones I use as well, but I always find my way back to the Essence lol.
Omg I had the same problem with my elf highlighters too, I had no idea I had to scrape the top layer... -_- pretty ridiculous
Sookkis Way I agree! I didn't know either!
Sookkis Way but after you do scrape them, it's amazing .....better than my abh glow kit
Sookkis Way I just scrape it into the plastic lid and apply it each time. I use it every so often if I just want a little highlight. I won't repurchase.
hmm good to know!
I have a lot of these guys and totally agree with your reviews on all of them! I was so happy you loved the Essence NUDE Highlighter. It's made in Italy and I suspect, at the same factory as some high end brands (same with their eyeshadows). Makeup Revolution has a ton of amazing highlighters which you can get on their TAM BEAUTY website. They ship internationally, and it's FREE shipping (and no tax) on orders over $40 US to Canada and the US. I'd love to try Milani but they charge $20 US for one item and it goes up the more you add!
I LOL'd so hard when you said "so the next product that is absolutely...horrible." Love your videos SO much.
the strobe highlights from makeup revolution are amazing! i barely touch it and it's got so much pay off! around $6!
i have the elf illuminating palette and the wet n wild reserve your cabana! definitely perfect for everyday use and for those who just can't jump into the "highlight those cheeks like you wanna blind a b*tch"!
Love your makeup today, best I've seen so far.....really suits you. Which eyeshadows are you using?
I thought for sure you would have included the pixie aspyn highlight you've been loving! xoxo
Wet n Wild has a shade called blossom glow which is very light of a highlighting shade for fair skin tones! ❤😻
i used to use the elf illuminating palette like a would the Hourglass ambient powders. Always made my skin look healthy
I have the L'Oreal Liquid Illuminator in Ice which is really nice but I find myself reaching for the powder version in Rose. It really love it lasts a long time. I lucked out when they put them on clearance at my grocery store. I got them for $3.24 a piece which was 75% off. I grabbed 2 for me and 2 for my sister.
The video was really helpful!
You're so pretty and may I know the lipstick you are wearing? Thanks in advance ❤️
great video! I am still looking for the perfect highlighter. I have the Essence but it is too dark so I use it as a blush. I am going to look for the liquid Elf highlighter for sure
Nyx duochromatic highlighters are freaking amazing. my favorite is twilight tint. it's phenomenal
Mouthy Mama mine went super hard pan😢
I had an Elf baked highlighter that I really liked. I recently replaced it and didn't like it nearly as much. Now, I realize that it's probably because the first shattered in half and the top fell off almost immediately. Didn't know about the scraping tip, but I think it helped!
Physician's Formula highlight is AMAZING. I use it especially on mature skin as a natural glow. I love it on myself as well and it's also awesome for bridal makeup. It's so great for all skin types and ages.
Thanks for telling about the elf cosmetics baked High lighters! I bought one and I just thought it was a miss, now it works perfectly! 😁 yay!
The Milani After Glow highlight is by far my favorite from the drug store! I've got two backups because I'm so scared I won't be able to find it lol
as for the hard candy mix in drop things, if you actually squeeze the dropper pary many many times, it thins out and isnt so clumpy!
Please tell me how you get your hair to look so good! What products do you use? My curl pattern is like yours and I could really use some tips 😻
I agree with your comment about wet n wild precious petals. I got it cause everyone raves about it and I found it too dark for my fair skin tone. So bummed. I may get the essence one. That looks perfect for my color! Thanks for your review. Love this video.
Jessica, sorry to tell you but the Essence highlighter apparently isn't produced anymore. Essence is a german brand and they don't have this highlighter anymore in their collection in germany, so maybe you want to stock up on it while you can :)
Nyssa Mö oh no... I hope this isn't true. I better go and buy like 3 more
It isn't in Germany, but it is still being produced for the US market.
I've never tried the elf baked highlighters but they have a baked BLUSH called pintastic that is far too light to use as a blush. I haven't had a problem with intensity or pay off. I also didn't have to scrape to make it work. There is very little powder and it lasts for a really long time.
milani after glow is just amazing ❤
Always love your videos! I really love videos like this, helps me a lot since we have a similar skin type and tone ❤
I was using the elf one with no issue but it made my pores look crazy and it was too glittery. I bought the Away We Glow and I like that but I also bought the Dose of Dew and I like that more! Such a subtle sheen! Because I just want to look a little dewy it's perfect without a crazy bright or glittery highlight.
btw you're absolutely right about not being able describe the essence nude higlighters until they are applied to the face....its like magic 🌟💥🌈💁✨🌟💫👀
Ugh finally!!!! i soooooo agree about elf!!!!! i was so convinced I had a bad batch because i don't like them at all
I love your videos!! I haven't seen those Melani ones yet can't wait to find them😉
I love all the drugstore videos you do!!
Please do a "high end" version!! Would love to know what you think, I can trust you. ❤️❤️❤️
this video was awesome! I would love to see you do bronzers next. is anyone else crazy like me and turning this into a declutter video in your head? I'm thinking, get rid of the hard candy ones and the elf ones, except the elf palette, etc.....
I love😍😍😍 the Milani highlighters a must have in my collection!
Really love your makeup in this video!
