Shimmering  Facial whip in "Pink Lemonade, Citrus & Lilac Petal"

"Camilla, Spotlight & Toasted"

Pink Lemonade:  This is suck a pretty colour......Its highly shimmer....frozen pink shade.....if blended out properly you get a fantastic glow.......you can over do it with this one tho as i find it a little over shimmery but you can work with it.......i use only the slightest bit even half a pea size is enough to highlight your cheeks and brow bone......i find putting it directly to those areas is too much what i do is blend it onto my hand first then take it from my hand and apply to the areas i want to highlight............i hope that makes sense :)

in this picture i put a pea sized amount on my hand(left) and to do a blended out swatch (right) i lightly dipped my finger into the blob(left) and blended out on a different part of my hand (again i hope that makes sense) 

Citrus:  In my opinion i think this would suit all skin tones....... this soft pink shade with a touch of beige and lilac so idealy this is suitable for all skin tones as there is both warm and cool shades in it......it too comes with lots of shimmer........i wouldnt be too pushed about this one but i would put just a tad into my moisturiser and it gives my face a nice dewy look :) i have tried wearing this on my eyes but it doesnt last i like it but it wouldnt be a favourite 

ive done the same in this photo as before 

Lilac Petal:  Ok to be honest when i seen this in its package it thought wow that colour is a bit on the off side especially when i heard good reviews about this i was thinking hhhmmmmmmm......like the other two looked so much prettier in their package than this one....i was judging the book by its cover obviously because boy was i shocked when i actually tried this out............THIS IS 100% SIMULAR THE BENEFITS HIGH BEAM........the only difference in my opinion between this and benefits is this one is more shimmery.......I dont mind tho for like €20 in the difference im going with the e.l.f facial whip in lilac petal hehehe i love this one love it im so stocking up on this 

Camilla:  This is a lovely pink with a sort of lilac undertone with frosty shimmer.....this is another of my top highlighters a little goes a long long way this is perfect for cheeks, and also for a base for your eyeshadow :) 

Spotlight:  I think this would have to be the strongest on out of all of them......only fault i would have about this one is that it is very watery you have to give this a good shake to mix it up......but i still love it this is perfect for the browbone, cheekbones. inner corner of eyes and also adding a little with your foundation gives you a perfect dewy look.....but i would wear this more when going out because its extremely bright and shimmery 

Toasted:  This is my least favourite one out of the lot for 2 reasons: 1.  its extremely watery more watery than spotlight which makes it more messy and a pain in the butt to be honest ok you can work with it if you have a good strong arm to shake it well to mix but serious would you be bothered 2.  its more suitable in my opinion for someone who is darker skin toned as its very pigmented and just does not look well on fair skin or even medium toned skin.......

So thats my update on these Facial whips........Over all these little mights are great not only are they affordable they really work.....the formula is nice and creamy  apart from the two i have mentioned that are watery and believe me when i say a little goes a long long way.....as you can tell my favourite out of these 6 is Lilac Petal.......i have yet to try the other 2........if you use them correctly they work really well.....i have come across alot of reviews that automatically people say no they dont like them they are to strong etc. but in my opinion its very easy to use too much as i said above a half a pea size would do everywhere you need to do.........i just think alot of people dont know how to use them properly, i didnt at first i used way to much and it just made a mess it looked to oily i looked like someone who was going on stage more than just out and about.........so please experiment more before making your final decision on them.  Try them out for the price your not going to lose out on much and you might actually surprise yourself :) :) 

well thats me finished girlies 

until next time 

take care 

lots of Irish kisses

Swatches of " Black bandit,  Precious Pink, Twinkle Teal, Plum Passion & Grassy Green" without Flash 

Swatches in Normal Light of "Iconic Ivory, Boldly Bronzed & Gunmetal" 

Black Bandit:   a black with silver sparkles i love this i was expecting it to be more of a gone off black but it wasnt its jet black......... It's very easy to apply, creamy, it has a soft texture and it's quite long lasting as eyeshadow base.


Precious Pink:  a shimmery baby pink with silver sparkles not as pigmented as some of the eyeliners but still a fab colour i love it as an eyeshadow base:) 


Twinkle Teal:  It’s a really pretty dark teal eyeliner with a lighter teal shimmer and silver glitter this is definately one of my favourites.  looks well over black shadow.......


Plum Passion:  is a deep purple but can give a pinky purple pay off depending how  much of it you use....it too has a silver shimmer to it but this is fab all over the lid.....its also great to make those green eyes pop 


Grassy green:  This is a bright green with a tint of yellow shimmer in it i also love this shade this is one of my favorites also 


Iconic Ivory:  This is a pure white with a hint of shimmer it also is a wee bit metallic but this is perfect for the inner corner of your eye and lower lash line to brighten up your eyes i love this :) 


Boldly Bronzed:  This is a lovely bronzy brown with hint of gold shimmer, this is perfect for the top & lower lash line i have notice this is longer lasting than some of the other shimmer pencils


Gunmetal:   This is a lovely grey with silver shimmer i find this perfect got the smoky eye look :) 

They come in 9 different shades :) They come with a sharpener in the lid, which at first I thought was a good idea. But after I used the sharpener to sharpen the Black Bandit, I wasn't happy with it After using the lid sharpener some of the shavings (along with the actual liner colour) gets stuck to the sharpener blade/plastic lid and when I put the lid back on the pencil it smudged all in the lid/over the top of the pencil.  Of course the sharpeners are ok if you make sure to clean them straight after each use but i wont or dont have the time to be doing that so i just use my own sharpener.

So why should you buy them?????? Well they are inexpensive. Have you ever seen a good quality branded eyepencil for just £1.50? Colours are very soft and rich and nicely pigmented. They work even better if you warm them up a bit but your dont even have to do that as they are creamy enough.  They glide on smoothly. Does not tug your eyes. They have small shimmer bit. So, it also looks good as an eye-shadow. i find them easily wearable in daytime.  The darker shades smudge well for that fab smokey eye effect......i will mention they are not waterproof but do stay in place all day.  They are not so good on the waterline but work well on the lower lash line.  

So in all girls im impressed with these liners for the price they were i was expecting less but got more.....ive got one more shade to purchase but it was out of stock when i bought the other 3 ....have you got any of these liners what do you think leave me a comment :) 

until next time girls
