      I’ve been in a Sephora once or twice and tiny bottles worth 60$ seems pretty common place?

        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.
