Just Lovely!

Quick Take: creamy
This is one of my all-time favorite blushes. I use it on my cheeks and lips almost daily. The argan in it is very moisturizing. It glides on smooth and blends easily. I highly recommend it!!

Quick Take: luminous sheen, natural looking
I gave this to my sister for Christmas. She lives in a very frigid part of the country and thought this would be a cute little stocking stuffer. She loves it! She uses it for mostly her lips. Her friend, who suffers from severe eczema, borrowed it a few times just to see what it felt like on her skin and she also gave it two thumbs up. Thinking of buying it for myself now!

awesome multi-tasker
-03.25.13
Quick Take: luminous sheen, creamy, natural looking
Love this color stick. I have the petal pink and with my slightly olive skintone it gives me a good natural-looking blush with a sheen/glow - so i don't have to use a highligher or bronzer to look dewy and fresh. Not oily or greasy - just glowing. Easy to blend but even without much blending it looks natural and not patchy. I also use it on my lips, underneath a nice sheer gloss - super cute. Lasts a decent amount of time for being creamy. Definitely a great multi-tasking purchase.

Clear, versatile moisture
-03.15.13
Quick Take: moisturizing, long-lasting, highly portable, versatile
I got the stick in clear, in the small size. It's very moisturizing. It lasts a decent length of time. Many have commented on the scent. I find it inoffensive -- indeed, mildly pleasant. So far I've mainly used the stick on my lips. I've just ordered it in both pinks, which I hope will work on my cheeks.

Quick Take: creamy, luminous sheen, natural looking
I love this as a cream blush. It looks so natural & gives my cheeks a gorgeous glowing dewy pink color. It goes on smoothly and blends easily over my foundation and powder. It also smells so nice, like a spa (maybe a tea tree oil scent). I've never been a fan of cream blushes until this one.

Quick Color
-03.05.13
I purchased the dusty rose color. It shows up on my light/medium complexion and looks natural. I like its size for travel. Dusty rose looks good on the lips too. From my experience this product lasted about 2-3 hours on my cheeks & about 30 minutes on my lips. It's good for a quick pick me up in color but get ready to reapply often if you want to maintain the glow.

Sticky on cheeks, I do not want wrinkles
-02.18.13
Nice colors.
I kept it to use in my lips, way too sticky for cheeks and does not blend well.
I do not use anything that pull son my face when applied. Mother Nature will give me enough wrinkle without adding more by pulling.

Love this
-02.17.13
I have tried other cream blushes and not really happy so was skeptical but I love this. I have a medium olive skin tone and didnt think it would show up but it looks so natural and so easy to swipe with no greasy feel - on days where I want a more full make up look I dust on some sephora powder blush over and it actually holds by blush in place all day - would recommend this if you like light and natural look but with a dash of flushed color

Disappointed :(
-02.12.13
I was excited to get it only to be disappointed. The color stick had an annoying smell that I couldn't get over. Although the color was pretty it didn't have the staying power at all on my cheeks. I am going to throw it in my purse for emergency makeup for quick blush fix...this is where I throw makeup that doesn't make the cut.

Holy crapoli.
-02.10.13
I have extremely senstive skin, so I am skepitcal about buying any "face" products that are also "all-purpose". However, this argan stick was amazing. I bought the clear, so I wouldn't have to worry about using it just for my face. It works for EVERYTHING. Rough cuticals turn soft. Flyaways are tamed, and dry patches on my face disappear. (It even helps tame my moderate/severe eczema=total plus.) Also: it is even good as a lip moisturizer...who knew?! I defintely recommend this product and will be buying a second stick soon. I just wish it came in a larger size!

Quick Take: smooth, natural looking
This product is awesome. Looks natural and nice pink color. Also, can be used on lips. Nice small container for traveling with a secure top. Lasts a long time as you do not need much to get the desired effect. I think this is good for your skin too with the argan oil.

Great for winter!
-01.12.13
Quick Take: luminous sheen, natural looking
I have this product in both the Rosey and Petal Pink. I enjoy them especially in the winter when my cheeks could use an extra moisture boost. The color is best dabbed on, then blended with a finger to ensure even application. I like the moisture provided as well as the color. They look very natural!

I Wanted to Like This
-01.05.13
In the winter I prefer cream blushes over powder, but the stick is hard and doesn't go on smoothly. As many have noted, it's difficult to blend and smells strongly of eucalyptus. I don't use it on my cheeks anymore but when I'm out of lipstick and my lips look pale I keep it in my bag to swipe on, the color is a pretty natural looking pink, although I still have to layer a lip moisturizer on over it because it's so dry.

Quick Take: luminous sheen, natural looking
This is a very flattering color for my very pale skin. It doesn't take much to do the job for my cheeks! My only complaint is that it's hard to smooth! But I'm going to try the blow dryer trick I read on the other review.

Amazing!
-12.25.12
Quick Take: creamy, moisturizing, hydrating, not oily
I purchased the mini stick in order to give it a try before committing to the larger size (I have the color-free one). I use it in combination with the regular argan oil, but I focus this stick around my eyes as well as the drier patches around my mouth. In the winter months at such high elevation (7000 feet), my usually oily skin becomes more of a combination of dry and oily in all of the usual places we experience combination skin. It absorbs quickly and my dryness is abated, with soft skin left behind. This would be a great travel alternative to the liquid and I will be buying the full-size to continue using it around my eyes and mouth at home, but also when I travel and risking an oil spill in my bag will be avoided!
I was looking for a more economical moisturizing routine, and I've heard such great things about this line and all of the great things are true.

-12.22.12
Quick Take: luminous sheen, natural looking
I purchased this product in Dusty Rose and was not disappointed by the natural, rosy hue. However, the texture of the stick is a bit too hard to make blending as simple as I would like, and often I hit it with a few bursts from the blow dryer to loosen it up.
