Blend blend blend!

I've been using this underneath my pressed powder for about a week and I don't love it, but I don't hate it either. It claims to have shade matching technology which is comforting because it appears quite dark when it comes out of the tube. As other reviewers noted it is quite sheer, but it seems like no matter how little I use or how well I blend, it's still just a tiny bit too dark on me. It see...read morems to have a yellowish undertone as well. If I accidentally use too much it definitely does not work for me. I've used many products in the past, similar products even, that did give me a "lit from within" kind of glow and I loved that look. In spite of the claims (and other reviews), I don't get that kind of look from this product. I'm trying to use up what's left in my sample tube (in spite of it not being a perfect match) so as not to be wasteful, but this is not a product I'll be buying in a full size.

Very sheer

When I first applied it, it looked like it was too dark, but after spreading and blending, it turned out to be quite sheer. A rather oily feel, like applying sunscreen.

Applies somewhat oily

This BB cream doesn't seem to help my complexion much. You can't really tell it's doing anything - it just makes my face look a bit oily. I do like the fact that it's natural though!

Glow!

I am all about quick makeup application in the morning before work so this is a product that's good to just throw on and you're out the door. It blends nicely but the coverage isn't up to par for my pink cheeks. I like the fact it gives you a "glow" though!

I was surprised !

I received a deluxe sample of this product from my total beauty collection box. I was pleasantly surprised how well it blended into my skin feels great on and also, was not harsh on my skin. It appears to be dark at first but blends give decent coverage. I will definitely be buying this product.

Not for Me

I hate to write this review, because I'm such a big Pacifica fan, but this is the first misstep I've experienced from them. Even though this came out of the tube very dark, it didn't actually give me any coverage. And it has a LOT of shimmer in it, which I just hate because it defeats the point of the "natural beauty" thing Pacifica is so great at. On the plus side, my skin seemed to like this because after I removed it, my skin was baby soft.
