Well... I'd been avoiding this thread for a while, but I'm in need of a few good highlighters. So here I am. The only one I have thus far is Lavender Cream by Hello Waffle. Does anyone have any good, relatively inexpensive recommendations?
A good drugstore highlighter is Milani's Fantastic in Gold! It runs for about $10 but It can stand next to some higher end ones

Yay! You did it!!! EL Modern Mercury was my first mind-blowing highlighter and remains number 1 in my top 5 out of more than 75 highlighters. My other favs:
Chanel Camélia De Plumes
Dior Golden Shimmer Transat Collection
Dior Amber Diamond Skin Shimmer

Becca isn't too expensive and I was surprised by the quality of the pressed formula----made a believer out of me. I like Opal, Rose Gold & Topaz.

The Balm highlighters are good too. Keep an eye out on Hautelook - every now and then they have The Balm and you get the highlighters for $18 each.

Their website also does half off sales too and you can get 'em for $12.00. Next time they do that I'm going to grab Cindy-Lou and Mary-Lou. I have Betty-Lou and love the sheen it gives.

Love those favs! Oddly enough I sold my Amber Diamond. Just didn't work for me but most people adore it. For some reason I didn't feel the need to hoard it regardless.

Very impressive!

I'm still kicking myself over the DIOR amber diamond.
I wish I had paid attn to Meddy when she first told us about the EL highlighters.

You have a beautiful collection!! What do you think about the Paul and Joe's highlighter? I've been considering it for a few months but I can't find any swatches.
It's very pale. Not much of a highlighter really, but perhaps more of a finishing powder? I would use it to correct putting on too much blush. The swatch looks chalky and white, but it does blend out nicely on the skin...into nothingness on my skin tone. I'd say skip it.

Thanks. I also have Rose Diamond but often forget to use it.

I nearly missed out on Amber Diamond. I think that was my first Dior highlighter.
Thanks love! If EL were smart they'd repromote them. I would totally buy them again.

Thank you! I was curious because the colours look rather unusual but I don't need it, if it's just a finishing powder.

THE USPS LOST MY GUERLAIN POUDRE DE SOIE.

If someone isn't stealing my mail, the USPS is losing it. I see no reason to go on.
