Tips: i prefer to put it on after i have primed and then my foundation over the top, if i want even more of a dewy look ill put more on top after powder
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 purchased this product in all the shades available as I wanted to try them all out. At first I was disappointed as it is very thick and was hard to apply on my skin, often ruining the foundation underneath and making a mess ..but after practice it becomes easier to use and gives a beautiful shimmery look to my skin.
Tips: If I am having a dry skin day I add a little bit to my foundation which gives my entire face a beautiful subtle glow. As everyone else has mentioned use those fingers :) so much easier to blend than using a brush
I have this in lilac petal and was pleasantly surprised for something that is so cheap. I use it as as a highlighter on my cheeks and a little really does go a long way, and I mean a little! It's quite a thick sticky formula but it's a tiny tube with a little nozzle which helps with only getting a little out each time. I also use a little on my lips with some clear gloss over the top. Not the best highlighter but for the price it's definitely worth it.
I purchased this as it was so cheap, so I thought I’d give it a try. It comes in a cute little tube. The product is quite sticky which makes it hard to blend. You don’t need to use a lot of this product as a small amount goes quite far. Once it’s blended properly it looks quite nice and gives your skin a nice glow. This product is good for the price of it but I will not be repurchasing due to the fact that it’s to sticky and hard to blend.
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!?
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
There are so many great shades for this product. I have the shade "Golden Peach" and it is gorgeous! It looks small but a little goes a long way. I find it blends best using your fingers.
I love elf products generally - they are super cheap, cruelty free and work really well. I have this facial whip in two colours and they are both really nice (lilac petal and spotlight). They are difficult to get used to using - have to use really sparingly and in exactly the right place to look nice. They are dupes for products like High Beam by benefit etc. Would definitely use them again due to how ridiculously cheap they are online (i think i paid about $3 from iHerb.com).
Tips: apply sparingly and blend well
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.
