Awesome Highlight!

I picked one up randomly from Kmart, I bought Lilac Petal and really didn't know what to do with it at first! Then, as my make up skills developed I found it to be an amazing highlight.. it does have quite a thick consistency, and is difficult to blend out but it once you get the hang of it, for $3, it's an amazing product! I've got the rest of the colours on its way from iHerb, can't wait to try them all!

Tips: Take a small amount of product on your ring finger, and dot it on your cheekbones, brow bone bridge of your nose and cupids bow, and start warming the product up by blending with the same finger :)

Shimmer shimmer ooh ah

I don’t know why this is, but I am completely incompetent at working with powder. So a powder highlighter is impossible for me to work with, but this baby is so very easy.

It’s also a really good beginner highlighter, and because it is really cheap, you can get this to do a good practice with.

I have this in the white shade it comes in. It is a really small tube - which I wasn’t expecting. I thought it would be way bigger, but for $1 totally enough product.

I also love the little nozzle it has, it’s really small which is perfect as the perfect amount of product comes out. No need to worry about wasting it. It’s also perfect for coming out in little tiny circles so you can dot it in the areas that it needs to go.

It’s a really thick and sticky product which I don’t like. I have to wash my hands after I put it on. It’s also really difficult to blend, and you will need to use your fingers for this because using a brush will only just remove all the product off your face and onto the brush. Using your fingers will help warm the product up. But it is really thick, and difficult to work with. I find that I have to give quite a bit of a drag across my face to get it to spread, which also unfortunately makes it difficult to make sure it doesn’t spread to places you don’t want it to go. It will take practice but once you perfect it, it’s really nice.

While it is sticky on the fingers, it’s not sticky on the face when it dries which is good. But it is really shimmery as well. Even once it’s dried and you touch your face, shimmer and colour will transfer onto your face.

I always get heaps of compliments when I wear it. But I do recommend that if you are wearing the white shade, that you contour with it. It can make your face look wider and larger if you don’t because it is so pale.

I also notice that for it to look best, I have to wear it over bb cream or foundation. It makes my skin look really bad if I wear it on it’s on, making all these little red bumps come up.

I’m making it sound like it’s a horrible product, but I truly love it, despite all those things, and I will purchase it over and over again. I’m also keen on experimenting with the different shades it comes in. So lovely.

Tips: Use them fingers!

Great!!

I think for the price, this product is amazing. It takes a little bit of practice to get right, and figure out how to blend it properly, but after getting over that hurdle it can give such a lovely glow to the face. I have the shades 'spotlight' and 'lilac petal'. Spotlight is a white/silver colour, and Lilac Petal has a pink tinge to it and I think is very similar in colour to Benefit's High Beam. I use Lilac Petal as a highlighter/blush combo and Spotlight when I just want to have a slight glow. It has a slightly sticky formula which can be annoying, but is able to be overlooked. The packaging is so cute and the nozzle means that you are able to get a small amount of product out at a time, which means little to no waste. Yay!

Awesome

This was the first highlighter that I used after a recommendation from a friend. I bought the 'Golden Peach' shade from Kmart.

It comes in a small little tube but you only need to use a small amount of the product to see results. I find it is a really lovely shade for my reasonably pale skin and it really has a lovely shimmer on your skin. I have found that it is a nice soft and creamy texture which makes it super easy to apply.

Overall i loved it and will continue to use it :)

Elf shimmering facial whip

Another super affordable good quality product by elf! I use this as a highlight and sometimes as a centre eye shadow (dabbed lightly on the centre lid and set with a translucent powder) the colours that this comes in will suit all skin types and colours. Product is super smooth and blendabale and is easy to work with. Packaging is also easy to use and the tip helps to make sure you dont use too much product as a little can go a long way. I love ease it adds to my make up routine. I purchased 3 colours for $3 each and still havent gone through half of one yet! One of my fav elf products yet.

Lilac Petal -AMAZING!!!

On discovering the newly re-stocked Kmart at St Lukes had been totally rampaged again by ELF loving fans.. I wasn't spoiled for choice.. Myself however being the obsessive queen of illuminating products I got extremely excited and picked up this baby! Ridiculously cheap and looking pretty glowy I rushed home and ripped into this. As with all illuminating serums or creams I squirted a generous amount of this into my CC/BB concoction I was about to use on my hand and blended it all together with my beauty blender.. I then applied like I usually would. I was very impressed with the results.. A beautiful non glittery pretty glow that lasted the day! I usually use expensive illuminating serums blended in with my Foundation/CC/BB mix but this more then acceptably does the trick and it wont break the bank!!

Tips: Squirt your selected Foundation/CC or BB concoction you are using onto the back of your hand then add a generous squirt of this product then mix through.. This will give you the most gorgeous glowy look!

Fantastic tip about using it with your foundation/CC or BB concoction. I haven't purchased one of these but will definitely will now :-)

I personally didnt think so. I would describe it as a thick/creamy consistency.

Perfect

I love this highlighter! I apply this to my cheek bones, Cupid's bow, forehead, and eyebrow bone.

It's well pigmented which is great and it makes you feel like you are glowing. I prefer this over the high end highlighters and this only cost me $3 from k mart!

The tube is small but a little goes a long way & for the price of it there's really nothing to complain about :)

Better then Australis Highlight

I bought this today from k-mart first of all was $3 not $3.99 as stated in the description above. First impressions was the bottle is very simple and elegant only thing i'm disappointed with is the size of the bottle is absolutely tiny. Would be good for travel size, although for the price you can't complain. The colour was lilac petal. The colour is faint with a slight hint of pink and shimmer. I wouldn't recommend this colour for a tanned skinned as would not look natural. As we know that is defeating the purpose of having the beautiful natural glow. The consistency is thicker then the australis version which i prefer as you get more of a shimmer. It blends well and definitely lasts. One thing I love with this product is how it does not remove the foundation underneath which the Australis does and I refuse to use the other one. Definitely would recommend buying for $3 is amazing!! You can pick up from online stores for $1 on the elf USA website.

Tips: Apply dabs from the fingers onto upper check bones blend slightly with finger and then blend the remaining with a brush to get that flawless finish. Be careful not to blend down below the check bone which will just highlight your whole checks and not illuminate your check bones.

hard to use at first, then great

When i first got this product i absolutely hated it, its very thick and can be hard to spread. however i soon realised how to use it properly. the trick is to only use a small amount, use the tips of your fingers to dab it into the skin, don't rub! i use it on my cheekbones and sometimes on the bridge of my nose. the lighter the facial whip the better i have found, the darker colours look kind of overdone and very fake.

Tips: Use when you are going out at night as the light catches it and it makes your skin really glow!

e.l.f Shimmering Facial Whip

For $3 I think this is worth a try for anyone I got the shade lilac petal. It is a lovely highlighter to a few dabs on the cheeks looks amazing (if you use your finger and not a brush) but I much prefer to add this to my foundation and mix it in to create a nice illuminated look in your foundation nice simple easy cheap product that I cant wait to try more shades in. Simple little tube packaging with a white twist lid simple but works perfect.
