Highlighter Inventory 2020

 For someone with oily skin I have an unhealthy amount of highlighter. In the summer months my skin pretty much produces its own highlighter and I only use these in the colder months. Let's begin 

Essence Sun Club Brunettes

4 £ for 11 gm

This was the first highlighter I ever bought. I still like using this underneath my blush for a subtle glow. 

Hilary Rhoda Highlighter Palette 

INR 350

I received this in a damaged state & this is probably the only way I'll ever be able to hit pan on anything. Decent quality 

SFR Color Glow Nude Highlighter Palette in #1

INR 99 for 10.82 gm

Cream highlighters which are easier to use if you have drier skin. I like applying this on my collarbones. 

ADS Pro Illuminator Makeup Base

INR 200 for 30 ml

Strictly not for the face. Has chunky glitter so can be used on the body. 

SFR Color HD Liquid Illuminator in #02 

INR 99 for 15 gm

Love this one. Pretty pinkish champagne colour which looks incredible when used beneath foundation. 

Swiss Beauty Glam Stick in Gold Stick

INR 200 

The packaging on this thing - looks premium. A tad too golden for my liking. Again for my collarbones. 

Mars Glow Highlighter Liquid in #3

15 ml (I bought a set of 3 for around 300 bucks) 

I love the white golden sheen this one provides. It dries super fast so you need to work quickly with this one. 

4 loose shimmer powders in gold, silver, copper & bronze shades

(Don't know the quantity of product. I bought 12 for INR 200) 

This was part of a dozen loose pigments I bought from Flipkart. These are perfect as highlighters & would suit any skin tone. 

ADS Pro Makeup Base Review

Highlighers seem to be having their moment in the sun from a couple of years now. Even though my oily skin produces it's own highlighter I finally succumbed and bought ADS Pro Illuminator Makeup Base. I assumed it would be like the Revlon Liquid Highlighter but sigh!

This is not a review as much as a bad buy alert. ADS Pro Illuminator Makeup Base resembles so many products that I'm not sure which one it's trying to dupe. The packaging is pretty decent. It comes in a squeeze tube with a nozzle & a lid which is housed in a cardboard box. All information regarding the product is printed on both the cardboard box as well as the tube.

INR 200 for 30 ml

I ordered the shade Sunbeam which is a pretty champagne colour. The main problem with this product is the super chunky glitter (which you can spot from a mile away). Definitely not what I want in a highlighter. The second con is that it dries in a jiffy. You can't take some product, spread everywhere you want & then blend. It will dry & you simply cannot blend. You have to work in individual sections. I even tried to mix it in my foundation & then apply which leads to stray bits of glitter peeking out at strange places. Since it's not working well as a highlighter, I'm currently using it as a glittery top coat on my lids. I don't know how else to use up this product. Suggestions are welcome.

I'm not going to list out Ayes & Nays this time as there is nothing positive to write. How do you guys use up makeup duds? Comment below
