Fab product, shame about the sparkles

I was actually recommended this product by my mum, who decided to treat herself. Now typically, my mum wears high street (I'm the spoilt one) and I wear Mac. So of course, when she asked if I'd like her to put this on me - it being £30 - I jumped at the chance. It's more of a foundation than Cc - don't be fooled by the understated coverage of this product. It has great coverage, blends well and doesn't fall off my face. I don't set it but it isn't greasy, but has a very natural, almost highlighted glow. The only thing that really erks me is that it was advertised as having no glitter, yet providing illumination. It. Has. Hella. Glitter. Next time, I might buy the original cc to compare.

Not bad

I’m a long time fan of the original CC cream and several weeks ago I got the generous sample of the illumination one. Just fyi, I have a very dry skin. In general, I really liked this version of the CC cream with one exception. It has the noticeable sparkles in in. I didn’t like that, but all in all it’s a great product.

New go-to cc cream!

I was sick and tired of all my habitual cc creams, in addition to becoming recently "pale" (stopped indoor tanning), so all my products were way too dark on me to boot! I did my research, and "it cosmetics" kept popping up as the best in class. Although on the pricier end, I gave it a whirl. It honestly looks more natural and dewy than any cc cream I have tried. Even when my skin is at its worst, it does a superior cover-up job. My only critique is that the shades are darker than they appear (i.e. if you are "medium", go with "light").
Quality products make all the difference, ladies!
