Nice

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.

Decent!

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.

Highlight

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

Good dupe for Benefit High Beam

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.

e.l.f Shimmering Facial Whip - Review

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.

Spotlight - Pretty but maybe not right for me

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.

e.l.f Shimmering Facial Whip

I am quite new to these kinds of products so I am happy spending just a few dollars on something to see how it goes. This little tube of shimmer happiness costs just $4.00 and is great.

The tube is quite small but you really get some bang for your buck. You need the smallest amount to get a great look. Shimmer is what you get, its gorgeous.

I put just a dab onto my ring fingers and then apply to my face, so simple and it stays in place all day long.

I know you can pay a lot more for highlighters but for me this little gem is a winner.

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 :)

How long does it last? And isn't it sticky? Want to purchase but doing my research first. Dont want to buy another product that's just going to end up in my makeup drawer never to be used

Many uses

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

E.l.f Shimmering Whip

Very cute packaging, only need a very small amount to apply. Great for lips and eyelids but not really highlighter, I have dry skin so stuck to some patches and looked unnatural. Good to play around with.

Tips: Only need a small amount

I have dry skin too but it sounds like it would be fun to try.

Thanks for the review. Strange how some products work well for others as a higlighter but not for others. Seen these at KMart but not yet purchased
