Packaging~

I can`t say much about the packaging. It is just an ordinary packaging with clear plastic.

It looks cheap, but it is. The packaging serves the purpose, it won`t leak so far and the cap is tight.

What i don`t like...

- The liquid is too runny 

-It feels greasy on my face

- The shimmer wears off pretty easily, 1 -2 hours top

- Other than that, i love how the whip is blendable and easily spread, maybe because the runny concistency. Bare in mind that if you want that glowy look, you might want to skip powder. The magic wears off after applying powder, it just feels like you do not have any shimmer.

- The whip highlight well without making my face like a disco ball.

- The shimmers are subtle and it is tagged in a very affordable price.

Conclusion

ELF Essential Shimmering Facial Whip is an okay product for me. 

If you are looking for an affordable highlighter that this maybe it. 

It serves the purpose well, and it gives our face dewy look.

You can mix to your foundation and BB Cream 

or just apply it right on the spot that you want to highlight.

I am currrently in search of a good shimmering base that can be blend into one with foundation :). If you read my glowy tangerine post, i do not have a shimmering base at the moment and use MISSHA M Shiny for a subtitute. Missha is too shiny tho, it has a noticeable shimmer that i dislike. So, i try this infamous volumer from Etude House called NYMPH Aura, in pink.

I tried the sample size, but if you happen to buy fullsize, it is around 125.000 rupiahs in online shop and obviously a lot higher in ETUDE stores nationwide.

IMO (in my opinion):

Nymph aura 2 is a shimmering base with subtle pearl. What i mean subtle is that the shimmer is not very noticeable if you blend real well. The finish will be dewy glowy like Korean artist. One thing that i notice about it is a very strong fragrance. I do not mind tho because i like the fragrance,but if you are sensitive to fragrance then this may not be for you. The fragrance is so strong that it stays fragrant after i put on my face and i can still smell it after one hour!

The texture is not very runny and blendable. I ussually use this to highlight my cheek bone and nose bridge. More than that would be too much on my taste. But if you like, you could also blend with your bb cream to achieve more glow. I also get a "dillemma" on using this NYMPH Aura, hehehe. It is too sticky that i do not feel comfortable about it, but if i dust it with powder, the glowy finish will be mattified as if you wear no NYMPH Aura beforehand.
