    Thanks to the ChickAdvisor Showcase, I was able to try the Radiance Activator. While the marketing says Treat+Prep+Glow, I'm not sure this product gives me the sense of being a treatment. Since it had a hint of tint and shimmer, I would be more inclined to use it as a highlighter or on top of foundation, as opposed to within my morning and night beauty regime. It is counter intuitive to me to be applying a tinted serum at night before going to sleep - would it get all over my pillowcase? However, upon applying to half my face, my friends noticed a definite difference between each side - one was brighter and more dewy.

    Thus radiance activator is an ok product. It has some color to it which I like. Its a little bit oily. I tried it on over top of makeup and it ruined my foundation so I recommend using it as a primer under your makeup.

    This product gives a nice glow but I find it a bit tacky sticky feeling with it after applied. I also find the peice point a little high for this type of product. Where comparable products are 10.00 to 20.00 cheaper.

    I think for something that is being marketed more towards skincare, this is a pricey product that should be treated more like makeup as there is dimethicone in it. While this was a great product for morning prep, I would not use it at night.

    Feels very weightless on the skin and gives a natural glow but skin feels slightly sticky. I would use this in daytime only as I still consider it as makeup rather than incorporating it into my nighttime skincare routine. I find the cost a bit higher for this as it's more of a makeup than skincare product.

    I reviewed this product for free. I use a daily moisturizer already every morning, so have something to compare this to. This product feels a little heavy and greasy on the face. Around my eyes feels greasy, especially. Maybe this product would be good for someone who has dry skin, but not combination or oily.

    I received this product at Chick Advisor's Showcase event, and I have mixed feelings about it. It seems to brighten my skin with its discrete shimmer, but also accentuates some unevenness in my skin tone. It sinks in quickly but I would only wear it on certain areas of my face, it gives an oily look to my nose, but a lit from within glow from everywhere else. It seems to be a little pricey but it does what it says.

    I received this product for free at the Chick Advisor showcase event. I did not particularly like the shimmer and feeling that it left on my hands. It also had a bit of a scent to it that I did not enjoy. It left my face feeling soft but also a bit sticky.

    I tried this at a showcase, so it's hard to speak of it's long term effectiveness. It did go on nicely, and my skin feels dewy, not greasy, but I feel like you could find a similar product for less without the Estee brand on it.

    Easy to use but feels sticky on my face, has a bit of a chemical smell to it - not pleasant. Shimmer looks nice but gets all over the hands. Dries tight on the face.
