    I was given this as a gift and was eager to try it since I've been using a designer tinted moisturizer (read following review). I have dry skin to begin with, so I apply a thicker moisturizer beforehand and then apply this product on with a sponge for a smoother effect. It makes my skin look smooth and because it's a tinted moisturizer, my skin doesn't look so pale and so dull.

    I find that this one does just as well if not better than the more pricy tinted moisturizers out there. The swirl effect of the packaging is appealing and it also comes with a pump--whether or not you find that useful..

    Overall, this product is just as effective as its designer alternatives.

    I got this product from an Oil of Olay event where we learned about this new collection of products. It is designed to give your skin tone a more even look, while protecting it from UV rays. It is a tinted moisturizer that is really light and gives your skin a somewhat dewy/glowy look. Is glowy a word?

    What I like about it is if your skin is in decent shape to begin with and you just want a little light coverage, it's two products in one step (moisturizer foundation). When you first put it on, it makes your skin look slightly tanned and more even, with a hint of dewiness. The formula looks like a twist chocolate and vanilla ice cream, which makes me wish I could eat it.

    This should not be used as a concealer or the same as a regular foundation. It is intended to be a really light coverage to give your skin a boost and a more even look but it does not cover imperfections and is not nearly as thick as a foundation.

    It comes in 3 shades that are supposed to work for most skin types. I find that the light/medium shade (the one in the middle) works best for me. The paler one was too light, despite the fact that I have fairly pale skin. If you are unsure whether you would be a pale or a light/medium, go with the medium.

    Unless you have dry skin you MUST apply a powder of some sort to set this or you will eventually look very shiny - and not in a good way. When I pair this with my M.A.C studio fix my skin looks great for most of the day. You will have to blot at some point after a long day if you have oily or combination skin.
