ELF Shimmery Facial Whip - Pink Lemonade

I was ask by a friend of mine for the solution to makes her tan skin looks healthier and glower. The thing is that she doesn't apply make ups. Most of the shimmery face cream will makes our face looks slightly oilier if we doesn't use any face powder to set it on. I wouldn't recommend any shimmery powder for a whole face application especially you like outdoor activities. I'm sure you doesn't want your face to shimmer like a disco ball under the sun, right? So I've suggested her to try the ELF Shimmering Facial Whip.

I have mine in Pink Lemonade.

Website Description

Multipurpose, on-the-go whipped colorant is Vitamin B, C and E packed to instantly brighten and sooth skin with no greasy after-feel.

Packaging : 6 / 10
- This facial whip is pack in a small squeezy tube with small opening. I'd say this tube is really small. It's only like 3 inches long? However, I wouldn't complain because all you need is just a small amount of it and you'll shine. The small size makes it easy to put into your bag or purse but becareful not to push it too hard. You wouldn't want your bag to be shimmering too.

Color : Highly Shimmer Frozen Pink
- The shimmery turns out to be a little frozen if it doesn't spread nicely but once blend, the glow is nice. However, I do not recommend on direct application. I'll put the method I suggest at the end of the post.

Texture : 8 / 10
- Not oily at all. Just like what the description said, "no greasy after-feel". Very true. It spread smoothly too. Very creamy and very blendable.

Color Pay Off : 3 / 10
- I'll have to put a 3 for this. The color doesn't really show up once blended. All you have is the shimmer left. I was thinking that this could be use as eyeshadow and I was proof wrong. I tried to put this on my lids and let it dry for a minute but it turns out a mess. The creasing is terrible. I tried with and without primer on but still it doesn't works. However, this can be use as eye primer. Since the color is hardly noticeable, using it as a primer is pretty good. A shimmery primer, anyone?

Lasting Power : 9 / 10
- Here I mean the shimmery effect. It last as long as I could remember. Nothing to rant about.

Like I said, I don't recommend for direct application because it will leave too much shimmer of your face. What I suggest here is to put a pearl size amount on your balm and rub both your hands together. After that, gently wipe your hands on your face like what you do with your moisturizer. This will ensure that your face will be cover is a balance shimmer without overdoing it.

If you wanted to highlight a certain features, e.g. cheek bones or below brow bones, put a dot size amount of the product on your finger and rub 2 fingers together to blend the color first. After blending, wipe or dab your fingers on the destined areas.

How do you like this product? It has 8 shades to choose from. Are you buying this? :D
