e.l.f Shimmering Facial Whip

I bought Spotlight (the white shade) for just a few bucks, figured I couldn't go wrong. The colour itself is so pretty, a sparkly white cream - perfect for an eyeshadow when I was a teenager! However, I'm a total novice at highlighting and I didn't really know how to make it work - it just looks shiny and unnatural. I also have dry skin and find it clings to the dry patches. With just a 6 month shelf life, its a small tube but you only use a little, it will go a long way. Its fun to play with but I don't believe it is lip or eye safe, which is a shame because it would be perfect to layer over eyes or lips.

I grabbed this from my local Kmart after seeing that it was only $3, and I'm mildly impressed. It comes in a range of shades but I picked Lilac Petal because Golden Peach looked a little too golden for my fair skin.

It comes in a small squeeze bottle applicator so you have to be careful not to get too much, and when I first opened it mine was very watery and separated which I was quite disappointed with. I shook it up quite a bit and it was ok.

The consistency is quite thin, not very creamy and quite sticky until it sets so you might want to use a powder highlighter to set it.

These are very pigmented, but a bit too glittery for my liking so I would really only use when I have a special occasion or want a very strong glow.

The smell of these is very strong so if you don't like scented makeup this definitely isn't for you. It smells like sickly sweet oranges, a scent I can put up with but don't particularly like.

Overall I'd say give this a go, after all it's only $3 and if you don't like it at least it didn't cost a lot. I probably won't try these again, liquid highlighters aren't my preference and this one just isn't the best for me.

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.

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 the shade lilac petal.

It's a decent enough product but I don't really find myself using it. Something about it just isn't quite right and it doesn't look like I thought it would. I think I'll give it another go and maybe try a small amount with a stippling brush.

The smell is pretty intense. Not too sure if I'm keen. I've tried adding this to foundation and I think it works better this way although it did effect the wear of the foundation and made me a wee bit oily by the end of the day.

Overall I think it's decent but not amazing. For $4 it's worth trying but don't expect it to be a holy grail.

I brought one off shopmissa for $1. It works out. It gives off a nice glow to your face. U don't need a lot of it.

I purchased this item in the shade "Lilac petal" from iherb for approximately $3. The tube is VERY tiny, smaller than I expected, but not bad for the price. Lilac petal is very pretty shimmery pink colour (however the colour does not show up much on the skin, mainly just the shimmer). The product itself has a texture very much like a lipgloss when squeezed out of the tube, and smells really good, sweet and kind of fruity, like candy! I bought this for highlighting my cheekbones. I tried applying with my fingers, a beauty blender, and a stippling brush but no matter how i applied it, it just didn't look right. I think that this could be because I have oily, acne skin, and this highlighter seemed to draw attention to this. Also I didn't like how sticky it felt on my skin, it just didn't seem to set. (I have since switched to a powder highlighter, and it seems much more flattering). But I feel like this could be a good product for people with different skin types to me. Although i do think it is a bit hard to blend, It is good value, and very pretty- just not on me!

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.

Best $4 you can spend as far as I'm concerned! I remember buying this in Toasted many may years ago without a CLUE as to how to use it so I ended up tossing it (silly me). Not that Toasted is discontinued, I decided to try again with Golden Peach. Three dabs of this on each cheekbone and it looks like you're walking around the whole day with your own personal lighting team! And all for $4?? My prayers have been answered!

You can also mix this with your foundation for an all over shimmer, though I would only advise that for night. Has a heavenly smell, doesn't streak and easy to blend (if you use your hands). And did I mention this stuff is only $4!?

To be honest this product has left me slightly confused! The packaging claims I could use this pretty much anywhere on my face.

The tube is very small, a little unexpected but not surprised, think I paid $3 off Iherb. The got the colour shown in the photo. It comes out a LOT lighter than expected which I was a bit dissappointed with.

The product is sooo dry & hard to blend or smooth out, almost thinking of having to mix it with a moisturiser or oil?! Once it is blended it leaves a nice glow.

Dont think I would repurchase.
