Strongest points
Medium texture cream that absorbs easily and gives natural medium coverage. Light reflecting particles for a dewy glow. Controls excess oils and does not settle into lines or pores. Attractive two tone tube packaging with small nozzle opening to prevent over use. SPF35
Weakest points
Expensive in comparison to other BB creams
Summary
I obtained a sample of this BB cream from my local Estee Lauder count. I wanted to see how it compared to the other cheaper BB creams on the market. I wasn't disappointed. The cream has a medium to thick texture which can be a little disconcerting upon application however; it blends very easily into the skin without feeling heavy or caked. This is a potent multi -tasking cream which contains powerful anti-oxidants, vitamin C, oil control, SP35, moisturiser and natural medium tinted coverage. It is a cross between a tinted moisturiser and a foundation. I always choose a light texture foundation so this all in one product is a fantastic alternative. The moisturisation is excellent and my skin felt smooth and hydrated. The tint is natural and covers a multitude of small blemishes and marks on the skin. If you need heavier coverage it can easily be used with a blemish cover. There are light reflecting particles that give your skin a healthy dewy glow, which is purely cosmetic. The cream actually works to absorb excess oils and keeps your skin balanced throughout the day. The scent is a subtle cucumber and very refreshing and it has a whopping SPF35 to protect your skin from harmful UVA and UVB. Is it worth £32?? I don't think so but it is a wonderful BB product and maybe slightly higher grade than other BB's on the market

I applied it after cleanser, toner and then serum and finally moisturiser, all from the Estee Lauder range as well.
Having slightly dry skin, I decided to add the additional layers of moisturiser as recommended by the EL beautician in my local department store.
It applied well, with a non greasy formula and sat comfortably on my skin. The smell is quite nice too.
I was very pleased with the result and my skin looked a felt great all day.
However, considering it is 33% more expensive than my usual brand I did not find it any better and most definitely will not be switching.
I do have quite good skin for my age and think that this product would maybe worth its price and suit a more mature skin type. It's good, just not that good to justify its price.
If you like good quality products though, this is a good choice.
