Fairly Nice!
I find this one to be quite nice compared to some of the other beauty balms/BB creams that I've tried. Although I'm still not a fan of BB cream as I am personally looking for more coverage so I tend to go for CC creams or regular foundations. However, I have found that this one applies very well, tones down the redness, dries fairly nice and it has low shine, not overly oily like some of the other...read mores. It may be helpful to follow with a light dusting of face powder afterwards. It has minimal coverage as with all beauty balms. I like that fact that it has benificial ingredients. I do not wear any other face creams when I wear this, since it's supposed to already have them in it. So over all this is probably one of the better choices of beauty balms.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 3 of 3 people said helpful

One of my new fave products!
I've been using this for about a month or so and I love it. It's taken the place of my usual primer (Smashbox Photo Finish or Bare Minerals Prime Time). This is the first beauty balm I've tried and I'm completely on the fence in regard to checking others out because this stuff works so well. I have good skin to begin with, maybe that's why I feel it's performing well, but it evens out my complexi...read moreon and is so smooth when applied. It leaves my skin so silky. It's dry in less than 30 seconds, which is a huge bonus as well. I'm usually applying this after my moisturizer that has SPF 20, but like the previous reviewer, I totally agree that this should have SPF in the formula as standard practice. No one should be leaving the house without it, no matter their coloring, age, or where they live, a product like this should have it without customers having to ask for it, absolutely. For me, that's the biggest con to this product, but since I'm adding additional SPF over it with my tinted moisturizer, it's not that big an issue, but it should still be in there for those that aren't heavy SPF users like I am. Since starting to use this product I have been able to use significantly less concealer and my skin is now foundation optional. I don't have any wrinkles or tone issues, so that might be why I feel it's a high performer. Yes, this is a bit expensive, but even with daily use, you shouldn't need to use a whole lot of it. I find that applying it with a make-up sponge helps me use 75% less during the application process, plus the sponge really helps get the blendability that I desire. I highly recommend searching for this on Ebay in a trial tube before committing to the full size, which is what I did. If I'd hated it, I wouldn't have purchased it beyond the trial tube, which lasted a lot longer than I thought it would. So, for someone who'd never used a beauty balm before, this stuff rocks, but if you're going to use it make sure you have your own SPF action going on because there isn't any in here and there should be. Beyond that, shop around a bit for it to save a little money and allows you to use a fantastic product at a better price.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 8 of 10 people said helpful

Favorite BB cream
Normally I'm not a huge fan of BB creams because I have old acne scars I usually like to keep covered. This is the first one I've used that gave me coverage I was looking for! The reason it's an 8 not. 10... The smell! It smells horrible. I hated opening this package up and putting it on my face because the smell simply made me cringe. Other than that, great product!This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 3 of 3 people said helpful
