Sephora’s favorite highlighters, worth the hype?

Hello my pumpkins and welcome back!

So by the time this post is up, I’ll be skiing in the Alps. I am away but it doesn’t mean I am not posting and today I am going to talk about the Glow For It highlighting set by Sephora. Basically this box contains all of [most of actually] the bestsellers highlighters that you can find at Sephora. You can get yours here I am going to quickly review each highlighters alone [only the cruelty-free ones] and let you know which ones I recommend.

Sephora claims that these 7 highlighters are daily essentials, are they? Let’s find out!

Ok now let’s talk about each highlighters alone

BECCA Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed in Moonstone

This highlighter has quickly became my ultimate favorite highlighter. I really love the formula, it’s super blinding, it doesn’t emphasize the texture on my skin and even though the shade is very light, it doesn’t look weird or gray-ish and it blends in beautifully with the rest of my makeup. Plus, the packaging is very cute, edgy and contains a mirror!

If you want to purchase this baby here, it retails for 38$ and you get 8g of product.

Tarte Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Highlighter in Exposed

This is my least favorite highlighter, I really wanted to love it but honestly it doesn’t look good on me, it emphasizes the texture on my skin, it looks streaky, grayish [the shade is very similar to the Becca highlighter] and it’s not as blinding as Becca’s. So, I don’t think it’s worth the money.

If you want to purchase this one [even though I don’t recommend it], it costs 29$ and you get 5.6g of product!

Milk Makeup Highlighter in Lit

I was mainly excited to try this cream highlighter, I heard so many amazing things about the brand ‘milk’. This highlighter is not the most blinding ever but I love the finish, it gives an amazing natural dewy look. I would definitely use this on a daily basis and it applies nicely, even on top of powder.

I just want to add that for a sample size, it is pretty big you get 6g of product which I think is cool!

If you want this cream highlighter, it retails for 24$ and you get 30ml of product.

Cover FX Custom Enhancer Drops in Moonlight

I was so afraid to try this one out because I have had a bad experience with liquid highlighters but omg, this one is amazing, it gives an amazing sparkly glow, it doesn’t look streaky or patchy [even if applied on top of powder], it blends in beautifully with the rest of the makeup and you can easily build it up.

Moreover, I love the fact that it’s versatile, that you can use it for different purposes [maybe add it to your foundation]. You can purchase it here, it retails for 42$ and you get 15ml of product.

I am not sure I’ll ever purchase this highlighter alone because it’s expensive and I am sure you I can find better in the market but I am happy I got to try it and I definitely recommend it.

That’s it for this post. I hope you enjoyed reading and if you did, don’t forget to give it a ‘like’ and to follow my blog.
