  • Sephora has a boatload of products. $60 isn’t unheard of for some things like skincare, but a $60 highlighter is likely to be a luxury brand like Dior, Westman Atelier, Guerlain, or Prada. And the difference between those and less expensive highlighters is that you’re paying for the brand name. For $30-40 you can get a mid-tier highlighter like Nars, ABH, or Rare Beauty that will still be beautiful and probably has more product per dollar than the luxury brand does.

    For example: the ABH Glow Seeker highlighter is $40 for 11 grams which equals $3.64 per gram

    And the Dior Forever Glow highlighter is $60 for 6 grams which equals $10 per gram

    People can spend their money how they want but personally I’d never pay $60 for a highlighter.













  • Late Gen X / early Millennial is called a Xennial. We’re characterized as having been born in a largely analog world and coming of age as consumer technology became more prevalent. I think it informally encompasses 1977-1983.

    I was born in '81 and graduated high school in '99. I grew up hearing that I was Gen X, the slacker generation, the whatever generation, the generation where trying was uncool. And that’s exactly the experience I had. I was an adult before I ever heard the term ‘millennial’ and I don’t identify with it at all, though technically I’m on the cusp. Xennial does seem to fit though.
