+ Lux Unfiltered N°18 Illuminating Beauty Balm - Highlighter Stick with Mango Butter - Buildable and Blendable Highlighter Makeup Stick - Vegan & Cruelty Free - Salty (A Sheer Opal Gloss)

I LOVE this blush for sooo many reasons! I have to write a review because i feel like this blush is slept on! First, the color Chili is gorgeous!! 😍 I know it’s marketed as “summer radiance” but this is gorg in the winter too! I love that slightly “sunburnt glow” all year round!Finally a real sized blush!! This will last SO long! It’s the same size as the original Milk Makeup sticks, before they shrunk them.And this formula is beautiful! It’s perfectly dewy, where I get compliments on my skin! Also wears well over makeup, as I’ve had no issues.I saw reviews regarding the packaging and I had no problem with mine, but I did order this when it’s winter, so it wasn’t melted for me. Highly recommend! ♥️

My fave line of products. I have the lotion, and all the face products. Hands down the most amazing products

The texture of this balm is so emollient and slick, I can see why they have a disclaimer to pop in fridge if it arrives melted--it would take very little warmth to have it lose its shape, which it did. They even include a little cap to contain the melt mess. It did resolidify on cooling with no textural issues or graininess though it looks a bit misshapen now. It will still sort of swivel up and down if the ambient temp is cool--but would be a disaster in a tropical climate or traveling. I just don't think the twist-up packaging makes sense for the viscosity. Also, I absolutely object to the color of the product (coral pink) not matching the packaging which is a rose tan.I have not been a face balm user previously but I do adore blush and wear it daily so I was curious. I use everything from powder to tint to liquid blushes or even just my lipstick to get some color on my pale cheeks. This formula of a tinted cheek balm is new for me and I have mixed feelings about it. I received the Chili tint and it definitely mimics a sunburn on my fair skin almost exactly, which they do advertise as the objective. I still haven't decided if I like that--on my skin tone the lighter color probably would have been a better fit but it wasn't available. The effect is sort of windburnt child. The Chili color also looks a little "hot" on my lips. For reference I'm a fair warm/neutral tone with mild rosacea on my cheeks already. As for texture, the slip is lovely and very emollient and certainly feels good on the skin especially the lips.Since I wear tinted sunscreen and have semi-oily skin the lifespan of the color is pretty short--too much sheen to stay put for long. I think folks with dry skin really like these balms and have better longevity with them. It's easy to apply and feels nice but I'm not sure sun-burned is a good look on me or going to be very versatile.Overall, I'd recommend if you can try a sample first. I would guess it's going to be most flattering on dark or olive tones. The concept is intriguing and the quality of the formula seems good. Also, there's no scent, so bonus for that.

Not what I expected at all. It's doesn't hold it's shape. It's like a cream/lotion in stick form. It crumbles and "smooshes" immediately on contact. I had chunks on my cheeks and ended up having to rub it in with my hands. I feel like it aged me and enhanced my wrinkles lol. Just go for a cheap loose powdered bronzer.

So quick to look alive just dab on cheeks and lips and blend w clean fingers or brush and you look natural and healthy! Love the packaging and the color. Have sensitive skin and so far so good.Looks like I spent a day at the beach perfect pink! Versatile and easy application w great packaging.

While I was anxious to try this, I didn't want to deal with the mess. I took a little and brushed across my cheeks to see how it looked. It was easy to apply but I must have ordered the wrong shade because it barely changed the color of my skin. I should have gotten a different shade, I suppose. I didn't want to go to bright a shade because at seventy-two, less is more. From looking at the reviews, I see many people have problems with the product sticking to the cap. I am going to use what I can, because I do like the slight sheen and the soft feel of the balm.

Stays on and is not heavy

Such a favorite new staple in my makeup routine! It gives a beautiful, natural buildable color. Not too shimmery—a natural dewy glow. I wasn’t sure if it would be worth the price point, but none of my other Lux unfiltered products have let me down and this one did not disappoint either! Will definitely be repurchasing. I recommend using the corresponding brush or a similar stippling brush for a more smooth effect as opposed to just swiping the balm directly onto your face- much more natural controllable finish that way.
