not a big fan of the formula as it's pretty dry and crumbly. you pretty much have to use an eyeshadow primer of you want this to last. if you prefer more natural glitters or looks, you should get the unleashia glitter palette instead as it has a WAY better formula and overall finer glitters (less iridescent shades too).

the colours are SO BEAUTIFUL. they're pretty much all iridescent or have different coloured glitters (some more than others) which makes it more appealing than other glitter palettes that are more shimmery. they also have a nice mix of chunkier and finer glitters though the finer ones do lean chunkier than other brands. they stay on pretty well as long as you use an eyeshadow primer. just great for glam and eye catching glitters.

I don't really notice it doing much for moisture or fading dark spots

it dries down nicely and fairly quick. the texture is weird at first but ive actually grown to really like it (kinda gooey and sticky until it dries down). it really helped me with my rough skin texture and I paired this with the bioderma atoderm intensive baume when I was trying to restore my skin barrier with dry+flakey+rough skin. I've repurchased this several times already because it's one of the few skincare products that I actually notice do anything. it's also unscented so I have no problems with my sensitive skin.

They don't have the widest colour range but that could change in the future. I find that the little chain it comes with comes off super easily and there have been multiple times it detached on it's own and spilled out the charms all over my purse so I switched it out. it's really expensive on sephora so I don't think it's worth it but if you're purchasing from yesstyle, it's way cheaper. I don't really notice a lot of staining with this and you don't get that much product for the price.

I have it in mocha glaze. it's very glossy when paired with a lip balm underneath and the colour pay-off is perfect for me (not too sheer or pigmented). it's super convenient to keep in a bag and I have it attached to my keys as a Keychain (sooo cute)!

shade range is pretty bad - i have the darkest shade (301) and it's still too light (I'm east Asian and my skin isn't that tan). it does cling a little to dry patches.

NOTE: i have the refill not the compact itself
when I have my base prepped right, it goes on really nicely and gives pretty good coverage. it doesn't fully cover my acne spots but it does get rid of the redness and it doesn't feel too heavy. I don't notice this drying out my skin or breaking me out. this lasts all day for me with a bit of powdering around my nose throughout the day.

- it's in a stick so it doesn't offer as much coverage/layers as normal cream
- because I can only get thin layers with applying this, I feel like it doesn't offer enough hydration to my dry skin and doesn't let my makeup sit as well
- because it's small there's not the most amount of product
- I really don't understand how people apply this on top of makeup without ruining it because it totally smears my foundation/concealer 
- I'm concerned about the cleanliness of this as the applicator always goes directly on the skin and can only be cleaned by cutting the top-most layer off so I feel like this could end up causing breakouts

This was my first time trying out a sunscreen stick and I didn't love it. I could see someone using this as something to reapply sunscreen throughout the day if they DONT wear makeup. Perhaps I'm doing something wrong with the application but it totally ruins my foundation and concealer. Might be worth checking out if you already like sun sticks but I'll be sticking with my creams.

- not irritating at all, good for sensitive skin 👍
- small and convenient so easy to bring out or throw in a purse
- no fragrance
