Exactly What I Was Looking For
"This is the first BB cream I have tried and I am really happy with it. It is very lightweight, it moisturizes, it evens my skin tone, and it works as a primer. I use it as a base in place of a primer under my powder foundation. I also have sensitive skin and this gave me no issues."

I love everything else I've tried from this brand, so it was a total no-brainer. What's really awesome and unique about this particular product is that it's nourishing—yet SUPER lightweight."
