My Thoughts

Okay..I did not hate this but I wasn’t in love.  It did hydrate the skin but it left a very tacky feel to the skin.  I really didn’t like that.  Even after an hour, the tacky feeling was still there.  Primer and foundation seemed to stick to this and blending with a brush or sponge was impossible.  It did leave my skin plump and hydrated but that is all it did.  For about and 1-2 oz  the price is kind of extreme just for hydration.  For me, unfortunately, this was super pass!  I mean it did hydrate but that feeling of tacky and sticky just really irritated me.  EH! Sorry but do not buy this please, I did not like it so much.  I mean it if worked for you, please let me know how you use it or what you have done to make this work for you because I really wanted to love this.  😦
