I have to admit,
Milk Makeup’s Holographic Sticks are one of my biggest beauty addictions. The cosmic sheen they give my cheeks is almost too good to part from, and I have empty tubes upon empty tubes of the iconic highlighting stick piling up in my makeup drawer as we speak. So, when they released the hot pink “Stardust” holographic stick, I had to run and grab one immediately. It’s sparkle and pink hue is almost too good to be true, and I was so excited to grab one and try it out.
But, my holographic highlighting stick craze has been getting a bit out of hand and out of my budget. Just one of these costs $28, which is way out of my price range. So, what’s a glitter junkie like myself supposed to do at a time like this? Find some inexpensive dupes, of course! I’ve searched far and wide across the world wide web to find the most bargain-friendly dupes to this salmon pink highlighting stick, and now I’m revealing these money-saving, sparkling beauties to all of you! So, take a peek at these glittery goodies that will fill that shimmer-less hole in your heart (and your beauty bags).
ColourPop Super Shock Highlighter in Parallel ($8.00)
This highlighter may be powder instead of cream, but it was all the same shimmer and millennial pink pigmentation as “Stardust.” ColourPop’s Super Shock highlighters are known for their buttery-soft, creamy texture that you’ll easily fall in love with. They’re also ridiculously hyper-pigmented, so just one swipe will have you face glowing to outer space. The shade “Parallel” will definitely not disappoint you with it’s mesmerizingly pink hue and shimmering glitter. And, it’s under $10! How could you ever beat that price? Believe me, you’re going to want to grab one of these highlighters.
NYX Professional Makeup Bright Idea Illuminating Stick in Lavender Lust ($7.99)
NYX Cosmetics is always at the top of my lists of top bargain beauty items, and for good reason. This cream highlighter leaves a powder-like finish, similar to Milk Makeup’s “Stardust” Holographic Stick. It’s illuminating glow and shimmering finish will leave you almost as breathless as the price of this highlighter! For such a top-quality highlight, you’re only shelling out $7.99! There are eight intergalactic shades in total to check out on NYX’s Bright Idea Illuminating Stick line, and I seriously suggest checking them out for the best bargain highlight you’ve ever laid your eyes on.
Pixi by Petra Glow-y Powder in Light Pastel ($16.00)
Pixi by Petra blew up to be one of the biggest makeup brands of 2017 for it’s incredible line of products, and the Glow-y Powder in Light Pastel will definitely not disappoint you. This highlighter is just as shimmery and striking as “Stardust,” and has a buildable formula to play with. So, if you’re heading out to work, one swipe will give you a subtle yet seductive glow, and you can layer on more for a bright pink sheen that is perfect for your big night out. The price may be a little more than the others on this list, but it’s totally worth every penny.
