A BUDGET-FRIENDLY shopper has shared a cheap highlighter that doesn’t skimp on quality and rivals name-brand top picks.
After growing up with a tight makeup budget, she said she knows all the best drugstore buys to look your best without breaking the bank.
Self-described “unfiltered skincare and beauty bestie” Rachel Finley (@hydrationceo) knows how to find the best beauty buys while saving money.
She brought viewers into her local pharmacy in an Instagram Reel as she scanned the aisle for some of her favorite products.
The makeup lover didn’t grow up with the means to buy expensive buys, so she figured out what good items she could afford in her [price range.
“When you’ve had a $10 makeup budget most of your life, so now you know the best and cheapest products,” the subtitle read.
The Colourpop Super Shock Highlighter, $9, in the shade Lunch Money, is not only popular for its steal of a price but also for how it gives the “perfect glow.”
It’s not a “glittery highlighter” like many others and blends well with many skin tones.
She added in the caption that she thought Colourpop highlighters were “greater than” high-end ones on the market.
Rachel also gushed about two additional affordable face products, the Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser, $10.99, and the E.l.f. Glow Reviver Lip Oil, $8.
She held the concealer in her hands and called it “creamy, dreamy, blendable, concealy goodness” for how seamlessly it blended into her skin.
The lip oil was awarded the prestigious title of the “best drugstore lip oil.”
Viewers appreciated her money-saving tip and some were already familiar with the highlighter.
“Omg Lunch Money. Bought mine in 2017 and only threw it out LAST YEAR,” one commented.
“We love a budget beauty queen,” a fan added.
“I still have my original Lunch Money. I think it might last until I’m 73,” another joked.
“The chokehold that highlighter has on me though,” a woman wrote.
