e.l.f Shimmering Facial Whip

After seeing the amazing reviews on BR, and the tiny price of this product, it was a no brainer to purchase the ELF facial whip. I purchased this off iherb and chose the colour persimmon as I thought this would be a better choice for my darker skin tone.

The product is actually really small, like tiny, and can be measured by the length of my pinkie. It comes in plastic tube, that is see-through with a white lid. It has a nozzle so it’s easy to get just the right amount of product out, and that’s good because you don’t need much. The colour was different to what the image online showed, but I still thought this product would be a decent match for my skin tone.

The product itself is purple (for the Persimmon shade), although many other colours of available, and the product has a shimmery sheen to it! It has a slightly thick consistency, and is every so slightly sticky, but really easy to get out of the tube. I dabbed this on the areas I want to highlight, and trust me when I say less is more. However, because of the colour/ shade choice I chose for this, the areas I wanted to highlight were also given a slight pink pigmentation which was more intense than I thought it would be, even when I blended it out. However, I still can appreciate the way this product highlights and would consider trying this product again, but would choose a lighter, or even the white(clear) shade, and this would actually be better than the more pigmented ones I believe, but of course that depends on what effects you want from this product.

For the price, this product is decent. Yes it smaller than expected, but a little goes a long way and it is so affordable!!

After having a great experience trying and buying my first elf product, a lip colour I decided it was time to add another elf product to my collection.

I really wanted to purchase a highlighter, and after reading reviews that this was a dupe for the benefit high beam I was sold- this quickly got added to my I herb cart.

The packaging is simple, yet sleek. Although it's a very affordable product I do like the look of it's packaging. Although small it will last ages as you only need a tiny amount.

The consistency is quite thick, so I only use a few dabs over my cheek area to get a lovely, pinkish glow. I love how it highlights my skin, without looking too much.

I am impressed with this highlighter and would definitely recommend.

I love the colour of this product and the idea of it. Unfortunately for me, it doesn't dry completely and can be sticky on the face. On places like on the eyelids, it leaves creases and I definitely wouldn't be able to wear all day. It does add a nice sparkle to the cheeks!

First off, can I just say this was much smaller than I expected. I guess when you buy stuff online you have to remember that what you see in the picture is probably going to be a completely different size. I expected something probably the size of half a toothpaste tube but got this tiny little tube instead. Now I've learnt my lesson. When I tried it on however I was really impressed with the product. A tiny little bit goes a looooong way. The pearly white shade Spotlight works great as a highlighter on my cheekbones. I have also tried mixing it with my foundation to get a really dewy, iridescent look. I love how it's reflective but not ostentatious. It has an interesting smell that kind of reminds me of those candy bracelets. The only thing I don't like is that when I try apply it with my fingers I end up with some product stuck to my finger afterwards. Other than that it's a really cute little highlighter.

This is a great highlighter if you are on a budget. I purchased mine from Kmart for approx $4. It comes in a small plastic tube and a little bit goes a long way. I put a little bit on each cheekbone and it gives me a beautiful glow that lasts all day. It's definately not the best highlighter on the market but for the price it's great value and as I said great if you are on a budget.

This product is pretty good considering the price, a little goes a long way and with a few different shades it is definitely a good starting out product

I have this in the shade lilac petal and I really like it on to or underneath my foundation. It has quite a tacky formula so I always make sure to set it with a powder highlighter. It has a super lovely glow and it comes in quite a few shades to match any skin tone or any makeup look. It's a great product for the price and it's easy to find in store and online.

These little cuties! Cute packaging 1st off, I have 2 in the colours spotlight which I use for a touch of highlight-they are sticky so I apply with a cream shadow brush and quickly apply then dust of with white shadow! Works a treat. I also have the colour golden sand which I will apply in the same way and apply around cheek area and contouring for extra shimmer during summer or bronzing. Perfect size to fit in your handbag for any touch ups. I have used the colour spotlight (white) a few times on my lips in stead of lippy to give lips a bit of shimmer xx

Good colour and applys easily. Great pigment and lasts all day. A beautiful looking product. Very affordable also.

I think this is good for beginners on a budget(like me). Can be a bit sticky but it definitely lasts. Its cheap aswell so that makes it fab
