NEW VICTORIA BECKHAM BEAUTY REFLECT HIGHLIGHTER STICK IN PEARL | BATTLE OF THE HIGHLIGHT STICKS

To be honest, I'm not a huge fan of hair dyer sticks, but for some reason I have three of them in my collection. Three from major brands that I do follow on this channel. One of them is of course the newer one by Victoria Beckham Beauty. I can't wait to test that one out. I did pay for expedited shipping, but unfortunately it didn't come in cinnamil when I expected it to. So I debated on what type of video that I want to do. As you can see, I don't have anything on my face and I'm thinking about actually demoing all three of them on my face next to each other and just to see how different they are and how they wear maybe. The second highlighter stick that I have that came out not so long ago is actually by Charlotte Tilbury. They have a highlighter in the five second face compact that came out not so long ago and of course I have a highlighter by Westman Atelier. It's one of those lit up highlight sticks. I have a limited edition shade, but that shade looks so much, so much like the new Victoria Beckham shade. Let's first look at Victoria Beckham Beauty. Victoria Beckham Beauty's highlighter is called the Highlight Stick or the Reflect Highlight Stick. It has five grams of a net weight. This is dermatologist tested, safe for sensitive skin, hypoallergenic, vegan, gluten-free, soy-free and nut-free. This is a shade called Pearl and since she named the shade, I kind of feel like there's going to be more highlighter shades coming in the future. So if you feel like this is too light for you, maybe wait until she comes out with more shades. It's made in Italy, it's cruelty-free and has a 24-month shelf life. This is the newest one in my collection. I paid 43 euros for it, which I think is quite pricey and the description says as follows, it's a state-of-the-art, ultra high dimension cream highlighter for an impeccable fresh glass like glow. It's luminous and sheer on all skin tones. It creates a universal glitter-free glow that lights up the skin and tones from every angle. Your complexion looks instantly nourished and refreshed. From the demo, I heard this one doesn't have any glitters in it. It should just provide a beautiful shine. Now let's look at the competitors and let's first look at Charlotte Tilbury. So this is the Easy Highlighter Wand in Chic Glow. It's a dewy glow cream highlighter wand to enliven every complexion and sculpt your cheekbones. Smudge on for universally flattering glow. Interestingly enough, it sounds like a very similar description, universally flattering, and it looks like a very similar shade. Then for the final contender, we have the Westman Atelier Lit Up Highlight Stix. I have a limited edition shade, but I do want to show this shade because it looks very similar to the two that I just talked about. I have the shade in La Parla, which came with this I think 2021 gift box. I think it was a holiday edition gift box, but the Lit Up Highlight Stix is something of the core line. The Lit Up Highlight Stix is described as a multitasking gel highlighter for facial fresh clarity and glassy finish. La Parla should be a champagne Lit Up Highlight Stix. You look at the swatches all three look very similar, kind of have the same champagne-like tone. Let's first talk packaging. I think both the Victoria Beckham Beauty and the Westman Atelier honestly look super stunning. The Victoria Beckham Beauty actually looks like an art deco, kind of looks like that Estee Lauder collection that she did. Vintage, it looks like a vintage lipstick to me. It's a bit longer in size and the Westman Atelier is of course more that classic Westman Atelier packaging. In terms of these type of containers we have seen before, but this one came in that really beautiful chrome and of course it was a limited edition. I don't know if you can still get it, but if you can you get it together with one of the lip suedes, the lip suede in Bordeaux to be exact, which till this day is my favorite lip suede. So if you can still get this, I'll link it down below. So here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to put the Victoria Beckham Beauty highlighter on this side and I'll compare it on the other side with both of the contenders. I'll first do the Charlotte Tilbury one, wipe that one off and then I'll do the Westman Atelier one. Hi guys, so this is my skin all of clothes and I'm going to take the time here to say please subscribe to my channel. I feel like we're getting really into it really soon. Anyway, let's put on the new highlighter by Victoria Beckham Beauty. At the end of this video I'm going to do a full face of makeup and then I'll put the highlighter over it so you can also see what the highlighter looks like on makeup. But this is the highlighter on my natural skin and this has nothing. So there you see that there's a huge difference. It does look very glass-like, it doesn't show any glitter reflects and it looks really natural. I don't feel like it looks like it is out of place. It blends in with my skin beautifully. So hair does stick to it a little bit. Let's hope that that dries down a little bit. Let's put Charlotte Tilbury on this side. So this is the Charlotte Tilbury one on this side. You see the Victoria Beckham one. Let's also do the hair test with Charlotte Tilbury. It does feel tacky on the skin and my hair does attach to it. So both of these are tacky. Another reason why stick highlighters often don't really work for me. Let's put this highlighter in the inner corner and on my brow bone. Let's do the same for the Victoria Beckham one. Okay, so now let's take off this side and go in with the Westman Atelier one. Let's do the hair test on Westman. Oh yeah, this is proper balmy. This one has definitely dried down a bit. You still feel it a little bit but it has dried down a bit. Hi guys, so this is my face all done and I put on the Victoria Beckham Beauty Highlighter. What do you guys think? What do you guys think of this highlighter? I think it looks beautiful on the skin. It looks really, it looks really like your skin but better and there's no glitter pigments in it. So that is something that I don't really like. I think the price was a little steep. I'm going to be honest but maybe that's just because I'm not a stick highlighter type of girl but finish wise it looks really my skin but better. It looks really beautiful. It looks beautiful on the skin without makeup and with makeup it performs well with the makeup that I have which I really like and it did dry down a little bit so it didn't stay that really balmy tackiness that you usually feel. In comparison to the highlighters that I have I'm going to be honest I feel like they perform very similarly and they are also very similar in color. Hi guys, I'm currently editing my video and I want to say a little bit about these highlighter sticks. I kept them on my arm for the time being. All of them dried down at some point. The Charlotte Tilbury one actually has a bit of glitter in there so it actually packs way more punch but for those of you that don't like that I definitely wouldn't recommend the Charlotte Tilbury one. I would recommend to look into the Westman Atelier one and the Victoria Beckham Beauty one. They look incredibly similar even after some time. In the end I actually thought that the Westman Atelier one dried down a little bit more but honestly it's so close to tell like if you like the packaging of one or the other and the fact that the Victoria Beckham one is actually part of the Coraline and the La Carla one is hard to get but if you always wanted that one now at least you can get it in Victoria Beckham Beauty. Both are luxury clean beauty brands and I feel like they're really close competitors. Guys what do you guys think of this highlighter? Would you get it? I do think it looks really stunning and if you don't have any of the other shades I would recommend this if you are a stick highlighter person. So not like me. I personally am not really into stick highlighters. I definitely have this in my collection just because I want you guys to see it to show you guys and you guys have requested to see this on my channel so therefore here it is. Here it is. Do I think it looks pretty? Hell yeah. Do you think it's a little expensive? Yes I do think it's a little expensive. Do I think it's great for the summer? Actually I do. Do I think that you should buy this over Westman Atelier or Charlotte Tilbury? No to be honest I don't think you should. I think that if you have one or the other please do not spend your money on this one. Anyway guys I'm gonna round off the video here. Thank you guys all so much for watching and hopefully this was a short video for you guys and I'll see you guys the next time. Bye!
