Advantages: Cheap price, Pretty packet and container, comparable to expensive brands

Disadvantages: Not very nice smell!

When I first picked up this product as I was really excited, as I'm quite pale and foundations don't tend to work well on me as I always look strange wearing them as they all seem to be just a shade too dark. Therefore, the idea of a tinted moisturiser which really shimmered and glowed was just what i was looking for. When i tested the product in store, I wasn't dissapointed. When I took it home, I wasn't *quite* as impressed.

The cream does indeed shimmer, but it shimmers a bit too much if not used extremley sparingly, and can leave streaky marks across your face if you don't rub it in really thoroughly and evenly, so it takes a long time to apply. It also smells a bit strange, sort of like old make-up, as if it's been left out a while.

For 4.99, though, it's worth it, as the product is comparable in quality to more expensive brands like Benefit and MAC, and it's perfect for days when you don't want to bother with heavier make-up, but don't want to go out with a bare face.

Summary: Worth it for it's cheap price and pretty shimmer.
