At first glance, what caught my attention about this CC cream, was the packaging, which shows three circles with pink, yellow and green colors. Many may be familiar with what these colors mean, but for those who don't, they are used as color correctors for the skin, hence the name CC cream.

Each color serves a specific purpose; pink makes the skin appear brighter, yellow tones down purple and the green counteracts redness.

It's like a dream in a bottle, or in this case, a tube!

After using this CC cream for a little over a week, I believe I have enough insight on the product to do a review.

What I also like about the packaging mentioned earlier is that its travel friendly. It comes in a tube and is easy to store in a makeup bag or purse for touch ups.

Now, with complete honestly, I have to admit that this CC cream is nothing special to rave about.

I HIGHLY recommend using a primer, such as the Maybelline Baby Skin, underneath the product. Without it, any pores, fine lines or wrinkles will be accentuated.

Though it does say that the CC cream can have medium or so coverage, I find that the more I build it up, the cakier my face looks. That's a big NO NO. Even the camera picked it up.

Coverage wise, it did little to hide my dark circles and when the CC cream did cover any redness or imperfections, it wore off during the day.

One of the biggest downsides about this product was that the color oxidized and didn't match the rest of my body.

There was a slight smell, nothing too obnoxious, but bearable.

Overall, I wouldn't repurchase this CC cream, but would be interested in trying it out from different brands for comparison.
