  • What's up everybody, welcome back to my channel.

  • Today, we are doing round two of the highlighter battle.

  • And what the hell does that mean? Well, I'm sure you saw the title.

  • And, by the way, look at me. I look so matte, where is my glow you guys?

  • I feel naked, and also, I'm wearing a bathrobe, and I have no panties on.

  • But anyway, today we are going to be testing out two highlighters.

  • One of them is a drugstore brand, and the price is $4.99.

  • And on the other side we have a $70 highlighter from a luxury brand,

  • and basically in today's video we are going to put them to the test,

  • we're going to battle them out,

  • we're going to see which side of the face glows the hardest.

  • Now, I did do Round 1 before, about four months ago.

  • If you want a catch at that video, it will be in the description box, of course.

  • So, if you want to see a battle, then keep on watching.

  • Now, last year, one of my favorite highlighters ever was from Wet'n'Wild,

  • and they have something called the "Mega Glow Highlighting Powder"

  • and they put out a few Gold shades last year.

  • They were a huge hit, they were probably one of my favorite highlighters of 2016.

  • So, when I saw that they were launching new shades the last few months, I was like,

  • "Oh, okay girl, I need those right this second."

  • And then they had to go and do crazy colors, so not just Gold.

  • We get a beautiful kind of like pinkish color.

  • Of course, we haven't swatched these yet, so I don't know what the real color is,

  • but this shade is called "The Sweetest Bling."

  • Now, both of these highlighters are Limited Edition,

  • they are cruelty-free, and they are only $4.99.

  • The other shade is "Lilac to Reality", that's a cute shade name.

  • And it looks something like this. They both have hearts in the center,

  • and they look really cute.

  • Now, you know when you look at something,

  • you can already tell how they're pigmented?

  • These look pigmented. It has this weird kind of like frosty glow over it,

  • and the heart in the middle is white,

  • I'm sure you can swirl them around and mix them.

  • We are going to test those, of course, and do swatches on my hand,

  • and of course, on my face.

  • Now, we are going to test them against a new Chanel highlighter.

  • This one is also Limited Edition,

  • it comes in a compact with a dark red top on it with the black logo.

  • Now, this is called the "Camilla Day Chanel Illuminating Powder".

  • This retails for $70, girl.

  • I'm like, "You better fucking..." If this shit don't work for this price point,

  • we all know what happened in the first battle, it was awful.

  • So, today we are going to be testing out this guy.

  • Now, Channel does not play games, so this brush comes off like this,

  • and you get basically like a barrier protecting the powder from your hand.

  • So, this comes off like this, and your hand, and then Voila.

  • Ah, that flower though. That flower. The powder looks so stunning.

  • Now, this is more of a Gold-Champaign color,

  • of course these little ones are a little more funky.

  • So today, we are going to just see which one is more blinding.

  • I'm going to use them on my brow bone, up here.

  • Uh, who needs eyebrows, it's 2017.

  • I'm also going to be doing my cupids bow, and the cheeks. So, let's get started.

  • So, before we dive into these on my face,

  • I'm going to read you a little description on their website.

  • You guys know I like to be thorough,

  • and make sure that this does exactly what it says.

  • So, this says, "With the same formula as our

  • must have Mega Glow Highlighting Powder,

  • this duo-tone powder adds a pop of dimension when used together.

  • The silky smooth, highly pigmented formula gives an all over glow

  • when applied to the cheekbones, the browbone, and cupid's bow.”

  • Okay, amazing. Let's take out the color "The Sweetest Bling".

  • It looks something like this.

  • It comes in a little compact that is clear on top, which I like that you can see it.

  • Now, I'm also going to do this little finger swatched on my hand

  • first to see the shade before I kind of mix them together.

  • So I'm just going to take my finger on the metallic pink part, and go like that.

  • Okay, so you can see how the pink kind of went into the white because I touched it,

  • and it feels really soft, it feels very smooth.

  • It doesn't have like a powdery feeling. It feel like

  • oh sorry, I just saw my finger for the first time. I'm like, "Woo, look at that."

  • That is really blinding on my finger. Let me take this on my hand right here.

  • Oh wow. That is like a beautiful pinky rose gold color.

  • Oh my God. Okay, that is cute.

  • Now, let's grab Lilac to Reality. She looks something like this,

  • and to me, this looks like a purple duo chrome kind of shift.

  • I'm going to take my other clean finger here, and go in.

  • Oh, wow. Woo, it's a little more reflective than the other one.

  • Definitely has like a blue undertone, and we will swatch her right next to this.

  • Bam. It's very like unicorn, has that like mystical type of vibe.

  • Now, the other one looks to be a little more pigmented on my hand.

  • This one, not that it's sheer, but it does look a little less,

  • um... see, it doesn't look less blinding though on the monitor.

  • I'm looking at the camera and I'm like, okay.

  • So, I think I'm going to layer both of these

  • and just try these on this side of my face.

  • So, my left will be the drug store side,

  • and then the right side will be the luxury side.

  • So, I'm going to take the Morphy brush,

  • and I'm just going to swirl this around the heart and in the middle.

  • One, two, three, the brush is pretty coated.

  • Now, let's go in.

  • Oh, that is nice, you guys.

  • Okay, hold on now, let me get a mirror and look up close.

  • Ouh. Ouh. I'm like, that is really really pretty.

  • I'm going to add a little bit more. You guys know I like to cake on the highlight.

  • Now, this Wet'n'Wild highlighter it's really pretty.

  • I didn't expect to like it this quickly on my face but...

  • And with that peachy blush though, oh my God.

  • Okay. I want to take the Lilac to Reality.

  • Same brush.

  • Ouh, okay. Okay, okay.

  • And I'm just going to put this over on the high planes of my cheekbones.

  • Oh wow, girl.

  • Ouh, those mixed though.

  • All right, so first impressions. It is blending out really nice,

  • it's effortless, it's like... the brush is like, living for the powder.

  • I'm like, "Oh my God". Ouh. Oh, wow.

  • That with this liner though, girl. Don't try me.

  • Bitch is shook right now. She's feeling shooketh.

  • Okay, now we're going to hit our cupid's bow,

  • and put a little bit over the lip stick.

  • And this is Sweetest Bling, again.

  • Oh, wow. I think I'm going to do the whole cupid's bow,

  • because it's just going to look a little weird if I don't.

  • So let me just go in.

  • Hmm. Ah, I love it.

  • All right, now, let's take another brush.

  • Of course, I'm going to use a little Anastasia A-23.

  • This is very similar to this, it packs on the highlighter amazing.

  • Now, for the right side of my face,

  • I am going to be trying out the Chanel highlighter.

  • Of course, it looks something like this.

  • I am going to take a clean finger,

  • and I'm going to swatch the middle of it.

  • Oh my God, I hate touching, like...

  • I hate ruining the pattern on like pans. I like, this bothers me.

  • But it looks like this, which is like a very pretty blinding champaign-gold,

  • and I will swatch it next to these.

  • We'll put her right here.

  • The tone is so different than these other ones. Like, I live for it.

  • As you can see, that one is just as blinding.

  • It has tiny tiny little, not pieces of glitter,

  • but like finely mild glitter in the formula.

  • I can see it already on my beauty lights, and it looks really pretty.

  • I'm like "Damn."

  • Let's get our engines ready, and may the best highlighter win.

  • Oh, wow. A lot came off the brush, like immediately,

  • and as you can see in the pan,

  • it like shows the ridges of the brush of where it went.

  • So, let's give it a whirl.

  • Ouh. Oh, wow.

  • Okay. We're going to go in with a little bit more, for her cheekbones.

  • That looks almost wet on camera.

  • I'm like, "Holy, fuck me".

  • Okay, I'm just fenesting it into my cheekbones now.

  • All right, you guys. Let me go in for a closer look.

  • This one is just as blinding as the drug store one, but very similar.

  • It's not like any more blinding, I don't think.

  • It's not like crazy.

  • And I'm also going to take a little bit and dust it down

  • the center of my nose.

  • I love a little blinding nose highlight.

  • Okay, on the nose though, it is like extremely blinding.

  • Like, come on, outer space, how are you?

  • And then, I'm going to do a little bit on my chin,

  • because we're trying to highlight for the cause.

  • My whole face is glowing.

  • I'm going to go downstairs, and Nate is going to be like,

  • "Oh my fucking hell have you been doing up there?"

  • I go in for like an hour. Okay, I have to stop.

  • But, let me zoom in on my face and take a peek at what the hell is going on.

  • Okay, now, this one is just as blinding as the drug store one.

  • Now, of course, this color is a little more, you know,

  • we're going to call it "Normal", if you will, of course.

  • I really love it, it does look like it's wet on camera.

  • It's pretty, it's not powdery at all, it was really lightweight.

  • It applied with ease.

  • I'm kind of shocked right now, you guys.

  • Like, both of them didn't suck.

  • Hi.

  • I wanted to do a little quick test on Nate before I gave my real final thoughts,

  • and make sure that these were blinding enough.

  • This one looks pretty

  • What are we trying again out here?

  • So these are drug store highlighters.

  • Yeah, yeah, Wet'n'Wild.

  • Yeah, live for this.

  • This is on this side of my face, and on my mouth.

  • Yeah, it's really pretty. No, I seen you, your lip was like...

  • Blinding, uh?

  • Glowing when I came into the room.

  • Radioactive.

  • So I'm just gonna try this Lilac one on you to see if it's pretty or not.

  • All right. Now, Nate has no makeup on.

  • Oh, damn.

  • I test a lot of my own highlighters and stuff on Nate,

  • just to see how they wear throughout the day.

  • So, he's used to being the makeup guinea pig.

  • That looks really cool.

  • Okay, now we're going to do these Chanel.

  • Oh, look at how pretty that flower is.

  • Yeah, I like it. I like the stamp.

  • Looks like my hole.

  • All right, now we're going to try the Camelia De...

  • What the fuck is this bullshit called?

  • De Chanel powder Illuminatres.

  • Girl, fuck me.

  • That takes Spanish and French.

  • Okay. Ouh. Work.

  • It's crazy how this one is not looking as like...

  • Blinding, it's not like...

  • Okay, there it goes. See, you need to kind of layer for a second.

  • Yeah.

  • There we go.

  • So, it took a few layers to get Nate to get to blind, blind world.

  • And it's just like, it's like almost my skin tone. so it's like...

  • Yeah it is. Look at...

  • This is the same cheek.

  • You literally don't even like see it, it's just like shinny.

  • I mean, it's definitely there. I think they're both really pretty glowy.

  • Definitely think...

  • Do a little turn this way.

  • Yeah, Wet'n'Wild one is like stunning.

  • I kind of want to take the...

  • It's called The Sweetest Bling.

  • The Sweetest Bling?

  • I think it's such a cute name.

  • It's like a rose gold moment.

  • I'm just gonna put it on top and see what happens.

  • Okay, cute. That is really nice.

  • I want to take a look at it with the flash.

  • A lot of the times you guys, I'll take my iPhone,

  • A lot of the times you guys, I'll take my iPhone, turn on the flash, and thenturn this way.

  • Oh. I mean, that shit is...

  • Woah, it looks so stunning.

  • And then let me see this Chanel one on me.

  • I'm more interested in my brow, boy, I'm sorry.

  • Shit's glowing.

  • All right, babe.

  • Thanks for letting me make sure I knew what the hell I was talking about.

  • Of course, baby.

  • All right, now I'm going to give my real final thoughts.

  • All right guys, I have the giggles.

  • Whenever I'm thinking about Nate, I get so giggly. I'm like

  • Okay, so my final thoughts on the $4.99 highlighters versus the $70 highlighter are:

  • both of them got the job done.

  • They were both very pretty, they were glowy,

  • they were stunning, they were

  • I mean, they applied amazing,

  • they were not chalky, they were not powdery.

  • So, at the end of the...

  • I will say this, the $4.99 highlighter just dropped;

  • it looks good bitch.

  • Okay, so I will say this.

  • The Chanel and the Wet'n'Wild are both Jeffree Star approved.

  • Wouh.

  • What does that mean?

  • It means that, of course,

  • a drug store product can be just as good as a luxury brand.

  • Now, I will say this.

  • This Chanel one feels heavier, it did come with a brush,

  • it came with a protective piece, it came in this beautiful compact,

  • which you know, it costs a little bit more money,

  • I'm sure, to manufacture this one, and it comes with a mirror.

  • So you got the mirror, you got the pretty pan,

  • you get the full shebang, as I like to say.

  • Now, the Wet'n'Wild one, it did the job, it was amazing?

  • Is the packaging as crazy as the Chanel one? No.

  • Now, at the end of the day when I leave my house and someone compliments me on my highlighter,

  • or they see this on my cheek,

  • they don't even know what this looked like at home,

  • so, of course, if you don't care about packaging,

  • and you just care about something that works, that is affordable and amazing,

  • the Wet'n'wild one was unreal, and I highly suggest it.

  • If you want to splurge a little bit,

  • and try out something else a little more crazy,

  • of course, be my guest.

  • But, I think they were both amazing,

  • and I'm just really glad that,

  • unlike the first battle, this one had better results.

  • Because last time, Lord, Jesus.

  • Who won the battle?

  • I think that it was a tie, they both won, and they're both amazing

  • so, sadly, there are no losers or winners today.

  • If you guys like these type of videos,

  • let me know in the description box down below,

  • and I will be doing some more battles for you guys.

  • Thank you guys for watching, and I'll see you on the next one.

  • Mhaw! Bye, guys.

What's up everybody, welcome back to my channel.
