Next time you want results, look on the back of the bottle and the price tag. High up in the ingredient list holds exactly what the title suggests-vitamins. This oil-free double duty moisturizer & primer in one leaves you glowing without the oily feeling. I really enjoy the scent and most of the ingredients are environmentally sound. It works very well with their foundation stick and combined with the hydrating eye cream and corrector, my concealer did not smudge, move, or melt. Having used many #maccosmetics concealers and not getting the results I was looking for. Bobbi Brown really shows that her skincare system works well with her cosmetic line and is in line with what she is trying to portray to all those #makeupistas out there! Have you tried Bobbi Brown Skincare? I would love to hear your #lipsmack - comment below!
