This CC cream is an oldie but a goodie and I've been through two tubes at least. Shade 85 Bronze is a little dark for me but the shade down is too pale and I'd rather go warmer than paler, given the choice. Plus it's a forgiving product because it's quite sheer and natural-looking, so I can get away with it in summer when I'm darker.
There's a swatch (unblended and blended):
Product claims/details:
- You can pick it up cheaply for $12 or so if you shop around (that's about half price)
- SPF 10, 30 ml size
- Only 6 shades available, but they do tend to adapt to your skintone
- Claims to have a brightening effect that evens out skintone (I think it achieves this)
- Shelf-life: 12 months
Wearing a thin layer:
Verdict
This is one of those products that reminds us that you don't need to spend big to get a good quality product. It adds a bit of colour and evens out skintone, but you can't really tell I'm wearing anything. That's the aim!
I tend to use more of it in a single use than I do some other similar products because it's quite sheer, but I don't mind that because you can build it to the coverage you want.
What I really love about it is that it doesn't sit in the open pores around my hairline - unlike so many similar creams or foundations.
The only thing I don't love is that it only has an SPF of 10, but I guess you can't have everything : )
Recommended!
