i forgot where i purchased this product. i tried it about 2 weeks after i purchased it. its in a stick form so once i glided the cheeks on my skin, it felt like it was refreshing my skin. it left me a subtle glow that i really liked. i started using this instead of blush. after about 2 weeks of using it, the refreshing effect went away. it seemed like the stick had melted. i dont know why. i applied it on my skin and it will leave my cheeks with color streaks...very unnatural. i threw it away.

A fun shimmery cool highlighter. I miss this product and wish I could go back in my time machine and stock up on hoardes of this stuff.

It's back! I just bought this from the Cosmetics Mall in Manhattan. Yey! What a great product. I think it's great (better than benefit's highbeam). Subtle, sheer, great scent - just perfect!

I have this in #03 Peach Light. I prefer a harder texture from a stick format makeup but I love the color and smell so much so that I don't mind the softness. It does give me the glow and fresh look.

This is great stuff! I have this stick in natural light, and I use it on my cheekbones, shoulders, cleavage, anywear I want to subtly glow....very cooling to apply, lovely dewberry scent, a great take-anywhere stick. This stuff will last me forever....which is just as well, as Revlon have discontinued it. Will have to try the lotion.

I found one of these in Bare Light at a Big Lots for like, two bucks. I've already used the lotion and powder and liked them pretty well (the lotion especially as the powder is kinda too shimmery for daytime use). I found the lotion's packaging to be incredibly cumbersome (combination tube and pump!) so I was glad to find the same color but in a more convenient form. This is a push-up stick of creamy, solid highlighter. "Bare Light" is a warm, slightly peachy champagne color and gorgeous on my NC25-ish complexion. I dab it onto my browbones, the bridge of my nose, my chin and cheekbones for a wonderful, natural, candlelit glow. There's a weird, faux-rose scent that I don't love but kinda am fascinated with too. It does go away, however. This hasn't caused me to break out or anything and really stays put. Definite repurchase!

I love this product. I have the peach stick and I use it on my browbones to make my green eyes pop a bit, as well as on the cheekbones. There is just enough shimmer to satisfy me. MY only complaint regarding the product (other that the fact that it is now discontinued of course) is that the consistancy is rather dry and you need to rub the product in in order to avoid leaving clumps on your skin. I would totally recommend this because it is very pretty looking.

I have a whole pile of these... but my fave is the Peach one! I apply it after some bronzer (I know, you're not supposed to apply cream over powder, but it works for me, lol!) It gives such a pretty glow. I swipe one finger across the top, dab it with the opposite finger and apply to my cheekbones. For stick highlighters I do find they have a bit of a weird consistency and at first I didn't like them, but used lightly and sheered out gently, I loooove the results.
Got mine for $3.99 at Big Lots (along with the Pink one) but you can get them even cheaper at www.cosmeticsandmore.com!

I have Pink Light. I found this in my mom's mu stash and the moment I opened it to see the color, I couldn't believe how pretty it is! She didn't use it, so now I do! It's a light rosey pink with a bit of a gold undertone. I use it only as a blush and it gives a really healthy glow - looks natural almost. This product has been discontinued, so I hope to track another one down when I finish this one.

This is the worst stuff. I don't even remember what shade I bought, but it doesn't blend well at all, it rubs right off. I don't get it, am I doing something wrong??

The only thing I liked was the cooling effect and the smell.
overall: bleh!

WHY OH WHY DID THEY STOP MAKING THIS PRODUCT???!!! I have this in "natural light" and "pink light" and they work amazingly well. You just dap on your chin, cheeks, forehead for an amazing undefinable "glow". I'm off to try and snatch the leftovers off ebay...sigh....

I love pretty much everything in the Skinlights line, and these are no exception. I have the shades Natural Light, Bare Light, Warm Light, Peach Light, Pink Light, and Golden Light. The only one I don't use is Golden Light, which is just too orange for me, even when I have a tan. They are great for highlighting cheekbones, browbones, collarbones, and shoulders. I especially like using the Pink Light as blush- it is pale pink in the tube, but somehow really brings out the natural pink in my cheeks. My only complaint is that the colors make the most beautiful sheer eyeshadows, but they irritated the very sensitive skin around my eyes (made it dry, red, puffy, and flaky). This was disappointing as they really were beautiful colors for eyeshadow. This product has been discontinued for quite some time, but it still available at several places online.

I think I made a mistake on the color I chose. I bought this in "Golden Light". It really sucks. It looks way too orangey with my skin tone...and to make it look at least decent, I have to mix it with tons of lotion on my face. Don't get Golden Light if you're pale!! It doesn't work!! It smells good though.

I bought this product in "light pink" because it was on sale for $4 at my local drugstore (I assume because they're being discontinued). I find this product mediocre, but good for the price. I use it on my cheeks as well for a light shimmery blush. It provides the perfect amount of shimmer for daytime. My only qualm is that it has a bit of a chalky texture. *UPDATE* THIS PRODUCT TURNED INTO A CRUMBLY CHALK WITHIN A MONTH, DON'T RECOMMEND*

First of all, I must say that I love this product line.It has a great shimmering goddess effect and smells divine.
The stick applies with a cooling sensation that I dig.
I like to use the stick as a body highlighter.For some reason, Revlon is discontinuing the stick.So, I recommend that you snag them while they're still around.

Although this product has good intentions, it depends on what you wanted it for. I use it to draw away from areas which I would like to conceal. As an eye enhancer over the lid, it is fantastical, lifting the look of the eye. On the cheeks, it does provide a glow, a little less natural than I expected. I have the Warm Light, and have not used it often due to the small uses I get out of it. For the price, as a highlighter, it seems to make my face look more like an android when applied all over and should be in a smaller applicator if not meant to be used all over the face.

I have this in the bronzeish color, & I was hoping this product would be similar to the NARS hightlighters, but sadly it wasn't. Upon application, it feels wet, & cold, which was odd to me. Smells perfumey too... I use this just on my cheek bones, for added shimmer, & sometimes I will use this on my lips for a nude look. Not sure if I would repurchase this, as I rarely use it.

I've had this product for a while in bronze light. At first I was using it all over my face, under foundation. But in the lighting at work, it was way to much shimmer. I picked it up again when I was going for a nude, no makeup look. I tried it as an eyeshadow and to highlight my cheeks. When not over used, it gives a very natural something extra to me skin. For the price, being a drugstore product and having to figure out how to get it to work for me, I wouldn't buy it again.
