Brightening, award winner, convenient packaging, widely available.
Weakest points
Scent may be off-putting to some.
Summary
This product comes in a convenient tube which is highly portable on days when you feel fatigued. It has an instant brightening effect when a small amount is patted onto (rather than massaged into) the skin. It instantly transforms the complexion and aids to conceal shadows. Although the fragrance may be slightly offputting, the citrus base aids to uplift the wearer when feeling fatigued. An award winning product which is a useful addition to the make up bag.

I love using this product my skin looks great afterwards.
Weakest points
You have to be careful not to use to much if you are going to make up on top.
Summary
Really great product if you want your skin to look fresh and glowing. I love the scent but i've had boyfriends hate the smell. I got rid of the boyfriend rather than the cream

Gave skin a great glow that lasted all day. Easy to use.
Weakest points
Citrusy smell which isn't for me, and slight sticky texture on first application.
Summary
I liked this balm as a product to use with my foundation. The sticky texture was strange to get used to at first but it did dry in to give great results. Many people commented on my foundation when using this underneath, so it does have an effect. I don't like citrusy smells but doesn't mean to say that other won't.
Would you recommend this product?
Yes
I'd personally find this too rich to use as my regular moisturiser.
