Cle de Peau’s highlighters can be purchased as pan-only products for $55, but if you want the compact, it’ll run you $95 total.

Please respect other members of this community who may spend more or less than you. It’s about discussing and thinking about own personal limits without judgment of others’ choices nor insulting someone who does or doesn’t want to spend more or less.
