This is from Salma Hayek's line, I got it for $17.00 at CVS and seeing how it was pretty expensive for a 1 FL OZ tube, I expected great things. Maybe not Holy Grail material (I already found that in the Maybelline FIT line), but something awesome.
I got it in the light/medium 250 shade. I can never tell with these things. I've always thought I was pretty pale, so I would get the 2nd lightest shade I could find. Always too light. Apparently I'm a Medium skin tone. Hm.
This promises "oil-free, sheer coverage, delivers a health, radiant glow for all skin types." It is also "hypoallergenic, fragrance free, paraben free, and not tested on animals." Mega points right there.
Yes, sheer coverage. So sheer that I wouldn't suggest using this as a BB cream. It's not even moisturizing. My skin felt tight and dry after using it. It's pretty much just... a skin tint. It made me a bit darker.
For something that isn't moisturizing, though, it made my skin very oily, very fast. My face is not picky. But for some reason this made my skin get greasy and shiny.
It stayed put for about 2 hours, and then I was back to nothing.
So, I'd recommend using this on top of a light moisturizing primer for those days you want a bit more of a tan. I'm not sure what's going on with the oil/grease issue but using a bit of primer prevented that. Maybe some powder on top to set it would work too.
Anyway, my rating? 6/10. Not great, not bad, but not really worth the price.
What do you guys think?
