dewy winter skin

after trying handfuls of bb and cc creams, none which have wowed me... alas kate somerville to the rescue. normally i don't agree too well with kate's products. although they are very treatment targeted and work wonderfully, my overly sensitive skin goes into a tizzy with application. i recently got a sample of the somerville illumikate cc cream, and shortly after bought the full size. this cc cream is more than average for sun protection and coverage. it floats seamlessly between a tinted moisturizer and a luminous liquid foundation. the staying power is divine. after a full day's wear, just a touch up will suffice for night. totally buildable, spreads beautifully with foundation brush or fingertips alike. i think it could be a little too dewy for summer months, but definitely will be used on the daily during fall and winter... well into spring. the light/medium color is perfectly tinted with yellow undertones to cut any ruddiness. i imagine the tube will last a couple months, as a pea size amount does the job. this cc cream is not to be missed.
