Rihanna's Fenty Beauty brand launched a miniature version of its popular 'Gloss Bomb' lip product just a short while ago, and now the brand is back with 'Lil Match Stix,' condensed versions of the versatile highlighting sticks that instantly became a favorite among fans.
A pair of the Lil Match Stix can be purchased for $22 USD, which is less costly than one of the regular-sized Match Stix. In addition to being used as a highlighter, the Lil Match Stix are great for contouring, highlighting, and can even be used as eyeshadows.
The Lil Match Stix are currently available on the the Fenty Beauty and Sephora websites, as well as in-store locations. As the miniature versions are so small, they're ideal for packing into a bag for on the go use.
