My Opinion: First and foremost, just to let you know i am a skincare addict. When i say addict i seriously have an obsessive tendency to continously purchase skincare products (especially moisturizers). I've gone through cheap drugstore brands to spending over $200.00 on a moisturizer. Although i am NO professional at skincare, i can tell you that my opinions of moisturizers are pretty "legit" in my eyes since i can say i've tried so many in my life.
Now back to the review, this moisturizer is by far one of the best ones i have tried. Not only is this super lightweight it absorbs into the skin almost immediately. So i don't have to sit and wait for 20+ minutes waiting for it to absorb before apply my makeup. Also, as you can see in my Pros, i stated it dubs well as a primer. Now i have no idea how it works so well but when i use this moisturizer i never and when i say never have to use a primer to keep my foundation in place. It dries to a pretty matte finish and my foundation sticks to it perfectly. Mineral, powder, cream, and liquid ; i've tried it all and each time i never have to worry about my makeup sliding off or anything else. I seriously say this is a 2 for 1. After apply this i also noticed that my skin instantly looks brighter. It gives me a very glowy appearance suitable enough for me to go out without a hint of makeup on but knowing my skin doesn't look dull. Now i have combination / oily skin in the summer an dry skin in the winter and after using this product for over a year now, i can tell you that it's worked with both my skin conditions and transitions with the weather without any hesitation, leaving me to resort to another product. This is an item i HIGHLY recommend if you're looking for a good moisturizer for daily use.
Although i love this moisturizer, i do not use this at night since i tend to go for a thicker and creamier night cream. The only downfall to this is that it does have a hint of a medicinal smell but nothing to much to drive me crazy. It goes away quickly so for those who are sensitive to smell, this may be the only downfall to it.
I would definitely purchase this time and time again. Not only is it cheap but it lasts a long time! I was fortunate enough to receive a sample for my lovely
Julie, the creator behind
Body Laundry and i've been using the sample almost everyday and i still have product left. I would highly highly recommend you all to check her out. Her skincare line is amazing! I have tried her purifying blemish clay mask and will be doing a PR on that shortly. She has other products i have not tried but will be purchasing to test out and PR also. Not only do i like the fact that her products work, but they are also homemade by her.
So once again, make sure you check her out. The moisturizer is a MUST-HAVE in my book and she also has sample sizes so you don't have to go and buy the huge container. Trust me, the sample size goes a long way. Don't forget to mention i sent you!
