Amazing Drugstore Highlighters!

I cannot stop raving enough about these highlighters! Not only are they dirt cheap, but they provide the most beautiful, natural-looking glow to your skin. Although they are both marketed as bronzers, they are best used as highlighters, even for those of you with pale skin (like me!). The first highlighter is the Reserve Your Cabana ColorIcon Bronzer and it is by Wet n Wild. I really love this one, it has a hint of shimmer but nothing too over the top for day-to-day wear. It applies nice and smoothly and it lasts for ages since the pan is so huge. The fact that it has an SPF of 15 is also a plus!

The second highlighter is the Tiki So Baked Bronzer by Hard Candy. This one is pretty popular in the makeup world, and I have to agree it is pretty awesome! Tiki I would say it a little more shimmery then Reserve Your Cabana, but once again it is pretty subtle when applied with a brush. Applied wet however, such as with a beauty blender or a dampened brush, it gives you an even more intense sun-goddess glow, which is perfect for that 'night on the town' look.

As you can see in the picture above, Reserve Your Cabana has more of a pink tone, while Tiki has more of a champagne tone. I cannot even choose which one I prefer, I'm always alternating between the two! :)

Have you tried any drugstore highlighters? Which one is your favorite?

  3. I think Tiki would probably go better with my skin, things that have pink tones tend to look odd on me. They look so pretty though! I may have to check these out.

    Found your blog via blog party, btw. && Followed, pretty sure this just became my new favorite blog! (:
