NYX Mosaic Highlighter and Guerlain Meteorites compared

If you are a regular reader, you will know of my love for the Guerlain Meteorites powder. But its expensive for the most part. So let me tell you of a cheaper alternative.

NYX Mosaic Powder highlighter does the trick – sort of.

I will not call it a “dupe” because the NYX Mosaic powder does not give me as ethereal a glow as the Meteorites do and the powder isn’t as finely milled. What it is is a cheaper alternative that more or less does the same thing at a pinch i.e. highlight skin at a cheaper price.

If you can get your hands on it.

I got mine off ebay a while ago. I use it when I travel because its portable, does the job at a pinch, and is inexpensive so its alright if it shatters. I haven’t been using it much lately though.

Unlike the Guerlain Meteorites, I find that the NYX Mosaic Highlighter tends to apply with a whitish cast. So, I sometimes use it to tone down blush when I’ve over done it. It is rather rough to the touch but then, what do you expect for a retail price of US$8! 😀

Still, its a pretty nifty little item to have in your arsenal. Don’t pay over US$8 (RRP) or RM40 for it unless you absolutely feel that you have to have it. My previous review is here.
