Smashbox O-Glow review When I heard about Smashbox’s “intuitive cheek color” O-Glow ($26), I immediately wanted to try it. I adore cheek color and until recently had a small addiction to cheek stain. I rushed to the nearest Ulta to pick it up…practically tore it out of the packaging and applied it. The product comes out clear and has the same silky feel as Smashbox’s Photo Finish foundation primer, but turns pink when it makes contact with your skin. The result was a somewhat disappointing very subtle light pink tint.
The plus- it’s super easy to apply, just a dab on your finger and rub it on and you’re good. You could probably apply it in the dark or while brushing your teeth-I’m a fan of multi-tasking. As opposed to cheek stains, cream blushes or more pigmented powder blushes where you have to be pretty careful where and how much you apply. Since there’s no brush needed it’s easy to stick in your pocket for on-the-go touch ups.
I felt a little like the product was a flop, maybe because I was used to the brighter rose cheek stain or because I was so excited to try it, maybe it was the 45 minute drive and $26 I spent. Unless another wonder product comes along I’ll return to my old friend, Lip & Cheek stain in rose from The Body Shop ($14).
