Positive
- “I love that we're getting more clear, colorless highlighters. I just think they are It's such a gap. There's so few of them that are truly colorless. Some of them claim to be universal shades and often aren't. This is truly clear and colorless altogether, and it has such a gorgeous glassy finish to it”10:42–10:50
- “It does run slightly sticky, just like the blush sticks do. But if you can get past that, I think this is a perfect holiday product”11:04–11:09
- “Really pretty. You can use it on the body and get that gorgeous colorless glow as well, which I really appreciate”11:11–11:19

- “They dry down eventually. It takes a little while, but they are just beautiful. Just gives you a nice glassy glow”9:18–9:25
- “I love that it's in a stick form so you can really control where you're putting it”9:25–9:31
- “I think it's a really nice addition to the Dior backstage line. And I do recommend them”9:33–9:39

Variant: Glazed Pink
- “This is Glazed Pink. It's like a hint of pink. But this is a glossy formula, but maybe it actually would serve it better to go underneath the blush because the blush is more like a cream mousse texture and putting that on top of it might really disrupt it and ruin it”18:40–18:45
- “It is very glossy”
- “The thing about the glossy formulas is they're not going to dry down. So, if your hair hits your face, if you touch your skin, it's going to transfer because there's no dry down”19:26–19:29
- “Good for dry skin types and good for like ultra glowy, juicy makeup looks”19:33–19:39
- “The way I like to use it, especially like the Victoria Beckham highlighter stick, which is similar to this, but less glossy, I like to use as a topper after all the powders are applied to my client's skin, I'll use that to infuse a skin-like fresh, juicy glow back to like a matte foundation look”19:37–19:42

Mixed / Negative
Variant: 001 Glazed Pink
- “I wanted to compare the consistency side by side. I prefer L'Oreal by a mile”8:15–8:22
- “They're literally the same thing. You are not going to be able to tell a difference on your skin. I promise you that”8:41–8:49
- “The packaging is nicer on the Dior, I will give it that. But also, the Dior is very scented”8:53–8:58

Variant: Purple
- “I mean, it's very nice. It looks very nice”18:16–18:21
- “My one issue is it's very balmy. It feels super super balmy”18:18–18:27
- “There's nothing about this that's purple one bit, actually, at all”18:34–18:37
- “When I build up here, yeah, you can see it's a little bit purple, but you don't want to build it up to this amount because it is so balmy that when you put it on your face, it's more than likely it's going to start to melt off”18:37–18:43
- “Listen, sometimes you don't get what you pay for”18:55–18:58

- “What is so weird about this is just the minty smell. Smells like an Altoid”14:28–14:34
- “It just doesn't look good. Like it makes you again look like a sweaty mess”14:34–14:38
- “It just leaves this wet look and not in a good way”14:39–14:43
