*UPDATE* I've been using this for about 3 weeks and still like it, however, there is one thing to mention if you wear contacts: the glitter in this will sometimes get in your eyes. Anyone who wears contacts knows what it feels like to get anything else in your eye. I got too confident applying this and started using a beauty blender all the time. I never get near my eyes with it but I apparently got some in my eyebrows. Some of the glitter got into my eye and that was not fun. I need to find some product without the glitter.As a black woman with dark skin, I have been using a "glow" product for a couple of years and like the effect but wanted something that gives more color because as I get older, my color is fading and getting uneven. This one is working without breaking out my sometimes-sensitive skin. Here are the highlights:- Glitter??? Doesn't have as much "glitter" as I feared from reading some reviews. I am dark so, trust me, glitter would really sparkle. I can see the glitter faintly on the back of my hand after first applying this. On my face, I didn't notice as much. When I wash my face before bed, the color stays and the glitter goes.- Itch??? I was really worried about this because I recently tried a tester of another product and had to immediately get it off my skin. This one tingled slightly the first time I applied it but the tingle didn't get bad and it went away as the product dried. And, keep in mind, I am using this on my face. After that first time, I haven't even felt even the slightest tingle.-Drying out skin??? The product I used in the past was a lotion for wet skin and I didn't want to use anything else that would dry out my skin. This doesn't dry me out but I do make sure to apply my regular moist lotion in-between applications. So far, so good.- Smell??? Sniffing the open cap, there is a faint, soapy kind of scent. It's not unpleasant and I didn't smell it when the test spot dried on the back of my hand.- Sticky??? Yes. While this is still damp on the skin, it has a tacky-like feel. Once it dries, it's okay. Thankfully.-Shiny??? OMGoodness, yes! I almost hated this because of the shine the first day. What I realized is that I can wipe down to get rid of the shine and when I wash my face at night/morning the shine goes away. I am going to start applying this at bedtime so that I can wash it off in the morning. That will get rid of both any hint of glitter and the shine.-Transfer??? I didn't have any problems with this getting on paperwork or my clothes - as long as I let it dry completely. What I love about this over makeup is that I don't have to deal with transfer to my clothes and paperwork and furniture, etc. When you wear dark makeup, transfer can be a big problem.- On my hair??? I was careful not to get this into my hairline the first day and I made sure to wipe my brows with a damp tissue and brush my lashes too. After the first day, I forgot. I haven't had any problems with the product messing with the color of my hair. That might be because I have black hair though. Someone with lighter hair/lighter skin might want to be more careful. I read a review that warned about orange hair...-Results??? The photos are from Day 1 and 3. I was worried that I wasn't going to get the color I wanted but it really does take applying this for a few days to start noticing effects on my dark complexion.- Concerns??? I see on the bottle a suggestion to use within 6 months but there is no expiration date on the tube. I probably won't be throwing this out if I have some left!I can tell you about this or I can show you so 2 of the photos you are seeing are not enhanced. I wanted to show what my skin looks like with the fresh application of the bronzer on Day 1 and Day 3.Basically, this is a great way for me to enhance my natural color and not irritate my good-but-aging 59-year old skin. I will now only wear foundation for special occasions because this is perfect for that "bare-faced" look. I might at some point try some of the pricier tanning "oils" for black skin but this works and I will probably be keeping some of it around for a while.I also have noticed that you can't combine this with most moisturizers because it will pill and roll off. You can use a good moisturizer once it has completely dried - even those with oils in them. And you will need it because this not only dries out the skin but keeps drying it out so you have to reapply your moisturizer whenever you feel the dryness.
