River Organics Rose Quartz Highlighting Makeup Stick

2 reviews

These are just right for a radiant natural look. I have both Rose Quartz and Illumi. They smell yummy like chocolate from the cacao butter, go on velvety smooth, and do not clog my pores. The Illumi is a little brighter and lighter than the Rose quartz, both create a lovely glow. I have fair to light tan skin (depending on the season) and really like the Illumi for right now (wintertime). Makes a nice eyelid gloss as well. A zero waste make up treasure!

I received this as a gift along with the blush stick (which I really like). Given the list of ingredients, I was surprised at the poor quality of the highlighter. I expected it would go on quite smooth and feel nourishing--instead it is dry, goes on very rough, and you have to use quite a bit to notice any sort of "shimmer." The highlighter also seems to have shrunk a bit, which means that it sits kind of loose in the the push-up packaging and thus doesn't really "push up." It had kind of an old old make-up smell to it, so I'm wondering if the product I received had been sitting on the shelf for a while and was expired?
