Review: Smashbox O-GLOW

What They Say: "The first intuitive blush, this clear gel reacts with your personal skin chemistry to turn cheeks the exact color you blush, naturally in just seconds! O-GLOW works on every skin tone, from the lightest to the darkest, to give everyone a naturally gorgeous glow.

What it is formulated to do:
When applied, the skin's moisture activates the energizing Goji Berry-C Complex™. It creates a microcirculatory effect, producing a rosy flush that lasts all day. This completely natural looking, preservative and fragrance-free formula glides on smoothly for a healthy, glowing blush that's you, only prettier.

What else you need to know:
Experience instant chemistry as your complexion is transformed from so-so to oh-so-glowing!This revolutionary silicone-based clear gel works on every skin tone and is microcirculating and skin energizing to keep cheeks naturally flushed for hours. O-GLOW's unique Goji Berry-C Complex™ formula is full of antioxidants like vitamin C, pomegranate seed oil and marine plankton for added healthy-skin benefits "

Jen's Experience: I know a lot of our readers who have been raving about this product on our forum will be shocked, but I can honestly say that I don't see what all the fuss is about with this product. At first, the novelty of having a clear gel instantly turn into blush on my cheeks was sort of fun. But trying to figure out just the right amount of blush for a nice glow rather than a sunburn is challenging (I still don't consistently get it right). I also found it difficult to blend properly; some days when I put it on before work and then caught my reflection later on, I was horrified to see the terrible job I did when I was in a hurry that morning. When I first got this, I used it daily. Now, I find myself reaching for my Nars Orgasm blush or Stila Convertible Color when I am looking for an easy, natural glow.

Retail Price: $26.00 (Sephora)

Bottom line is what works for one person's skin or hair just may not work on someones elses. I don't like blush or lipsticks like this but if it works then it works. It's really fun to share all the info and get opinions though. :)

I agree, I don't understand what the hype is all about...it's just that, Hype...this clear gel turns bright fuschia when exposed to ambient air is a novel idea, but, even tho I prefer cool tones for makeup, this is just too bright for me. Even applying just a smidgen, it was too dark, too fuschia for me; made my cheeks appear receded. Lasting all day? Hardly... And for $26.00? Ouch....save your money, Ladies...it's not worth it!

I've always wondered about this product, thanks for sharing! I had my suspicions it would either be really awesome or a total disaster.

I left a couple of comments begging you guys to test this--thank you so much! I will stick with my Nars Orgasm for blush and go spend that $ on the latest facial brightener you reviewed! Great job, keep up the good work.
