I wanted to love this so bad. All the hype and the pretty packaging had me, but… it’s a no from me.

First off, let’s talk skin type: I’m combo leaning oily, especially around the T-zone. This sun stick went on smooth—I’ll give it that—but about 30 minutes in, my face started to feel thick. Like there was a layer just sitting on top.

It gave a bit too much of a glow, bordering on greasy in my case. I tried powdering after, but that kind of defeats the purpose of a quick on-the-go stick, doesn’t it?

Also, it seems to slightly cling to dry patches or textured areas. If you’re dry or normal skin, you’ll probably enjoy it more. For oily-prone folks like me, I’d say: test before committing.
