TL;DR: Very subtle, a little goes a long way, but very natural and dewy. Best applied by fingers, and may cause acne. Strange fragrance.
Tried this on a whim while ordering the Miracle Balm and decided to keep it after waffling on it for a couple of days. I find this the most natural of all the CC's I've worn, and it CAN potentially break you out (it did, mildly), but I didn't notice any large, Show more
I'm so frustrated with this product. It honestly seems like it might be pretty good skincare/foundation except that the smell is so strong and unpleasant that it's completely unusable. I don't understand why they put that in there and ruin a potentially otherwise good product. Who could possibly want to smell like this??
