e.l.f Shimmering Facial Whip

I haven't used an illuminator before this but wanted to try one and Iherb was selling this on Iherb for next to nothing, so I decided to give it a go.

I have a warm-toned complexion so wanted to try the golden shade which was unfortunately sold out, so decided to give "Pink Lemonade" a go.

I applied it first with my RT blender to my cheekbones, completely overdoing the ammount of product and ending up looking like a doll with verrrryyy rosey cheeks. The colour is super pigmented, I didn't expect it to apply so pink!

Second time around I was more reserved and applied just a tad to my cheekbones with my fingertips, blending it into my pre-applied foundation. It highlighted my cheekbones beautifully, giving me the most radiant, natural glow. You only need the tiniest amount so apply sparingly and this should last you a long time. I will definately recommend and repurchase this, hopefully golden is available next time as I'd be excited to see how it goes on other areas of the face!

I didn't know much about highlighting until I joined beauty review, and being very new to it I didn't really want to splash out on something only to learn I was terrible at it or it didn't look right - so I bought a Pink Lemonade Shimmering Facial Whip from iHerb.

It's quite pigmented. It took me awhile to get it right - I think I went on a bit thick and messed up my foundation a few times. But I kept at it and found that a light application with a brush is much better. The pink is a bit much for me, so I bought spotlight which is the white one and I found that works much better. I just use a little on my cheek bones and a tiny bit on my cupids bow.

Its a really small tube, but it takes so little to get a lovely glow I think it will last a long time. Definitely worth purchasing to have a play with!

I purchased one of these off iHerb.com for a few dollars. First, I must say that I am OBSESSED with highlighters. I thought a good starting point with the ELF ones was to go with the colour 'Spotlight' as it is a pearly white one and I am quite pale.

First impression was that the tube was quite small and I personally think the little nozzle is too small of an opening, but the product is lovely and thick and creamy, so much so that you would only need a tiny amount anyway!

It smells lovely, kind of like a sweet candy (personally there is nothing worse than a liquid highlighter that smells bad). The coverage is good, though the shine content wasn't as much as I would have liked.

I am keen to try more of these in other colours as they are soooo cheap to purchase, but in saying that, I do still have other highlighters I prefer more. I am more of a powder highlight girl, but I believe everyone needs at least one liquid for a dewy look!

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 :)

This is so inexpensive, so I thought I would pick one up.

I chose the colour Pink Lemonade, it is so much more pigmented than I thought it would be. You only need the tiniest amount to get a nice shimmery pink glow.

It blends out so easily, and looks wonderful.

It lasts all day, with no wear.

This smells so yummy too. Great buy for $3!

I expected this product to be more pigmented than it actually was, i found that there wasn't much of a difference with or without this product. It was very affordable so i am not too bothered this product didnt work out for me but I think the product isnt very pigmented, no real differences observed. However i may go and purchase another shade (pink lemonade). I heard these were dupes for benefits high beam but so far have not been convinced.

I love these! So affordable and cute! The pigmentation is really good, they give a nice glow to your cheek bones or i like to use it under my brows as well. You do have to reapply it every so often but you only need a little bit. My favourite shade is 'Lilac Petal' it blends quite well with my skin tone. I don't think they are the best out there but they are amazing for their price! :)

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

This product confuses me little as it says that it is a highlighter- whereas to me it is more a blusher.

I got this in Pink Lemonade which is a great colour as a blusher for someone with fair skin. I find that this is a product that should be treated very carefully- you don't want to use too much or you may end up with a bit of a clown face. I find for best application, I squeeze a small amount onto my hand and then dab it slightly around my hand to even out the amount I have on my finger. I then apply to my face by dabbing and building up colour as I feel I need to.

It is a slightly sticky/tacky formula however once applied on the skin and dried, you don't notice this

While this is a good poduct, I prefer powder blush in terms of application. I will continue to use this product though as long as this tube lasts me (which will be a while as you only use a small amount)

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.
