Smashbox O-Glow

After hearing ALOT about this new innovation, I just tried it at Sephora. This is the product in case you haven't heard:



O-GLOW
What it is:
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!

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. Completely natural looking, waterproof, preservative and fragrance-free formula glides on smoothly for a healthy, glowing blush that's you, only prettier.



Remember mood lipstick??? This is the same stuff for your cheeks. It is a chear gel, you apply to cheeks, it leaves a dark fuschia streaky color on cheeks and hands (or whatever you applied it with). My cheeks are now hot and inflamed, not sure if thats a coinsidence, but if you were considering this product, I would sit it out!

They had this out at my Sephora this morning as well.  It was funny.  I was the fist customer, and the SAs were loudly raving about it (amongst themselves supposedly), then right after, a SA came over to me and asked if I overheard their conversation.  Of course I did.  Try some subtlety.  Anyway, I let her put some of this miracle product on me.  It looked nice on me when she put it on.  It looks similar to BeneTint on me.  But an hour later there was no trace of it.  Sure it's a fun to watch a clear gel give you color, but I'd rather use BeneTint, which stays on for a whole lot longer and a jar could last me years.

Reminds me of the lip plumper products, which didn't really do anything but burn my lips.

LOL Cricket! I was at that Sephora today too. I noticed it also, and was going to ask about it. Do you find Benetint to be very pink once it's on? The nailpolish-type applicator scares me a bit.

Benetint can be very subtle once you learn how to apply it, which took me a little while.  I use it right after I've moisturized and it is very easy to blend.  I put three dots on each cheek and blend (one cheek at a time.  It can dry pretty quickly.  Having freshly moisturized skin gives you a little more time).   I like to put it on my lips as well.  Stays on for quite awhile.  I'm usually not a huge fan of Benefit products, but I just got their Dandelion blush and I'm curious to try that over a small amount of Benetint.
