The Burt's Bees All Aglow Bronzer & Highlighter Stick comes in really nice packaging and has a cool protective cap under the actual cap itself, which I've never seen on other makeup items. The formula is creamy and applies really smoothly. There is no real scent, only a natural scent to the product. There is an inner core within the highlighter so that your skin stays hydrated and soft without needing additional products layered on the face. The Opal Mist shade is a little too icy toned for my skin color but it blends in really nicely and looks good with flash. I hope they come out with additional colors!
Most of my makeup at this point is Burt's Bees, which I love for the focus on natural but effective products (which can be difficult to find). I love the products that I have purchased up until now. Unfortunately, this bronzing stick was very ineffective when trying to wear it over the BB liquid foundation. It immediately stripped off almost all of the foundation under it and did not provide any color payoff in its place. I am very fair, so it is definitely easy for even lightly tinted bronzers to be too much on my skin. However, this product did not show up at all. I did try to use a blending brush with it, running the brush only along the outside of the stick and using a patting motion instead of a sweeping motion after using just the stick. This proved to be every so slightly more effective, but still nowhere what I would hope for out of a bronzing stick. Maybe these would work better if you are someone who doesn't wear any foundation at all. I also ordered the Opal Mist shade for a highlighter and that actually worked quite well, especially when I used a dabbing motion instead of rubbing the stick across the areas I was looking to highlight. The color is very nice and natural looking and it doesn't feel super heavy. I was definitely careful to apply it gently though, as it seemed like it would pull up foundation as well. Would really love to see BB make a powder version of the bronzer (and a highlighter option would be nice, too). I guess for now I will just be ordering a dark shade of the powder foundation and hoping that works better than the stick!

A friend of mine gave me a tube of this years ago and I LOVED it. I used it nearly every day on my eyelids and cheekbones. When it ran out I accidentally bought the Golden Shimmer instead of the Bronze color and it is perhaps the most useless product I've ever bought lol. I'm very fair skinned, and it still does not show up on me. Still giving 4 stars because the bronze color is legit one of the best makeup products I've ever bought--it would be a solid 5 stars--but ~Golden Shimmer~ is literally nothing but perhaps the essence of shimmer.

I'm so glad I found this highlighter! I love the glossier haloscope but it's a bit too pricey for me to buy consistently. I thought this product was very similar. It's for people who want a natural, dewy highlighter.

I really like this glow stick because it adds some nice highlights and a bit of a dewy ike appearance to my 60+ year old skin. This is my second purchase of this product. I also use the darker colored glow stick in the summer months. The only improvement I would suggest is to add more natural emollients to make it glide and smooth in better.

I would put a zero if I could. Nothing shows up when I put it on. It's like a tube of clear stuff.

Great for highlight touchups. Using it on my face and eyelids to brighten my eyes. Will define order this hydrating highlighter again!

This stick is shimmery, with just a hint of bronze color. Would not recommend for use as an all-over bronzer. Maybe a good highlight for darker skin tones?

I bought Opal Mist to use as a highlighter. The stick format is convenient for application, but I'm not impressed with longevity or performance. This highlighter is more subtle than I was expecting. It gives a nice natural-looking glow right after application — but it seems like my oily skin breaks it down and in about 30 minutes it is imperceptible. I knew from reading other reviews that it doesn't fully dry down, so I was expecting it to be vulnerable to transfer, but I wasn't expecting it to fade so quickly on its own. The stick can displace foundation/concealer when applied directly over top, so I've been using this only on days when I'm not wearing base products. This may work well for someone with dry skin who is looking for a natural highlighter, but there's other "glowy" non-powder formulas I'd recommend before the Burt's. Also has a bit of a weird smell, like that play-dough smell that reminds me of old makeup from the early 2000s? But it's subtle and fades after application.

This is just a highlighter stick with a very very slight bronze. It doesn't bronze at all for me and my skin is slightly tan with olive undertones.

Nice, smooth texture, but can't really see it on the skin; too light.

I received this as a gift and love the natural summer glow it gives me!! and it goes on so smooth that it feels more like a moisturizer. I want to put it allover my face!
Bootsie from Durhman NC
I was expecting some color and very disappointed that it's just like a light vaseline on my skin. no color what's so ever.

I wouldn't really say this is a bronzer honestly but I put it on the inner parts of my cheeks and nose like a rainbow and it makes your skin look so dewy and amazing. This is my favorite makeup product I have and it makes you look sun-kissed, i always get compliments saying my skin looks dewy and it's because of this. Cannot recommend it enough!
LAKK from Chicago Suburbs
This bronzer is moisturizing and flattering on everyone who I've given it to. It really makes you look fresh and finished. I use it on my lips mostly, but eyelids and cheekbones are also great places for the Gold Shimmer. It's the best! (I'm buying 7, some for me, some for gifts.) Burt's Bees, always make this product!! It's great!! Why not intro it at Target??!!

I absolutely love this. You only need a small amount to get a nice glow. I put a little on my face directly and use a brush to blend it.

I think this is so pretty. It is so soft and produces the subtlest glow on my face. I use it around my temples and hairline as I have to mask all day at work. Really like this alot.
Maddie from Corning
So this removed my make up when I used it and it was splotchy. Also it's not a bronzer. It's more of a highlighter. Maybe I mean MAYBE it would be okay to just add some shimmer while not wearing makeup?

Your cheeks but better! The name is right on the mark because it leaves your cheeks glowy yet natural. And it's so creamy and moisturizing on my cheeks! This is perfect for when you want that no makeup makeup look and leaves you looking naturally stunning. I'm hooked. It's a tad too muted on my lips for my liking but with a lip liner it would be fine. I'm definitely going to buy more colors!

I've been using the Burt's bees all aglow lip and cheek stick after I saw a recommendation for it from another influencer. I got the all aglow stick in the peony pool color and love it. I really like that it acts as both a blush and lipstick. It applies on your cheek like you apply it on your lips for lipstick. When you're applying it on your cheeks you just have to make sure to rub it in to blend it. It really gives your cheeks and lips a really pretty color and makes them pop. I love how simple and easy this stick is to use and how well it can travel. I carry this product in my purse now whenever I go out for a quick application whenever needed. It's a reasonable price and will last you a while. If you're looking for a quick easy makeup look, I would definitely add this product to your routine. It's been a staple in mine.

Okay when I first put this on I love it, it has glow and look so natural. I like to put it on at night when I stay with my bf because it just brightens the face while looking natural. The only thing is that the pigment does not last long on my skin. I have combination and within two hours it will be completely gone.

This was my first time using a glow stick, so maybe I just wasn't sure what to expect, but it's way stickier than I thought it would be. I know that other people really love these, so maybe I'm just in the minority. If my hair brushes across my face where I have applied the stick, the hair will stick to my face.

The Burt's bees 1905 opal mist is a great product and it's good for all skin tone and everyone I would 100 percent recommend this product to everyone is amazing
reih from undisclosed
it's so sticky, hard to blend, and smells really bad and moves the foundation. And the application was not very smart either
ariyam from undisclosed
(There was no option for the product I am actually reviewing) Honestly very disappointed with this Burt's Bees blush. The color is so beautiful and it's quite pigmented but the product is so difficult to get onto my finger/applicator and I have to roughly smooth it onto my cheeks. Color is nice it's just the formula where it went wrong.

The Burt's Bees All Aglow Bronzer is a great product. It's extremely moisturizing and stays on all day. It's a beautiful color for fair skin although for darker skin tones it may not be dark enough. It blend very easily amd I love it. I never thought I would enjoy cream products but for mature skin I've found it's the only way to go from this point!
