The Perfect Summer Makeup Coverup
One of my best friends and I have been on the hunt for skin care products that help even out our skin tones.
I've seen the commercial for this product and thought maybe I would give this a try and hold off on investing in high end beauty products....
The very first time I used it I INSTANTLY fell in love with it. Not even kidding.... and I am very picky with how I want my face to look.
With that being said, after applying this very light cream... the coverage is excellent. It isn't caked on, it helps hydrate your skin, instantly (meaning covers) imperfections which in turn give an even look and contains vitamin c and has SPF 15. I believe this isn't a product that helps give long term results... BUT in my opinion I think it is PERFECT for summer time. When you want to go to the beach with friends/lay out in the sun or on the go, this cream is quick, easy and light. No need for a lot of cover up during the summer so this is definitely a product worth giving a try. Walgreens has this product priced at $12.99 before tax.
