Smashbox O-Glow is a transparent matte, gel. It is the texture of MAC Matte. When you apply it to your skin, it turns a rosy pink. It is a really translucent, flushed pink. The finish isn't creamy. It is more matte, but doesn't look dry at all.

This is such a unique product. I think it works quite well. One thing I noticed though is that it is best to apply it to your finger first for application to the cheek. You should move it around and blend it out quickly. It can sometimes leave a stain mark if you don't move it quickly. I feel like a mad scientist watching the colour change.

Overall, I like it. It really does look like a natural blush. I would be curious to see what this product does on a woman of colour.

I picked this up at Sephora.com. It says it is a Sephora exclusive at the moment.

Would you buy this product again? Definitely!

A friend of mine recommended this to me and I am so glad I didn't let the price tag put me off.

It is expensive, but I've rated it a 4/5 for price because you only need a tiny amount for a natural flushed look so a little goes a really long way, and the quality is excellent.

This smooths on like silk and leaves my skin feeling very smooth. It's a clear gel that turns a bright pink initially before melting into the skin. Depending on how much you use, you can create a natural blush look, a deeper blush, or a delightfully flushed colouring.

It looks so natural, and lasts all day. I love it!

Portable. One shade only. Warning, if you are not a cool skinned person, this will look artificial on you. It did not look like I had an orgasm, it looked like I had poison ivy or Rubella or Rubiola. I definitley could apply this at work and get sent home early for some sort of rash like febrile appearing illness. Would not wear it in public again. Left it in the rest room at work.( This was one product no one claimed on night shift because everyone has deeper gold skin. ) Nice idea, wish they made something more WOC friendly. The nicest thing about it is it;s not greasy sparkley,messy or shiny.

I absolutely love this! I have powder blush, but this is the perfect shade for me(and alot of other people) and I love how matte it looks!
Although if you have large pores i wouldnt recommend this.. As in my opinion makes them look bigger. And its not greasy or shiny looking at all!

General Comments on this product: It's really pricey for something that little and plus I really don't how the pink turned out on my skin and I broke out terribly from it to. But for something that little it should cost much less and personally I hate blush but since it was from Smashbox I couldn't help but to get it. But it's Great for Halloween make-up though.

Would you buy this product again? Yeah...but not right away

Overall I liked it...the color isn't really changing, I got some on my desk and that turned pink too, lol. I'm a WOC (MAC NC45) and the color looked not so much natural...but still like i'd had a good day in the sun with a little help. Working it in was kind of nerve racking because the color would get away from me sometimes and I'd have Raggedy Ann cheeks if I didn't work quick enough. I did like it...but I'm trying some other formulas before I repurchase....neat idea though.
