Did anyone else purchase this recently on HSN? It's a liquid to powder "bigger than BB". I'm not sure how I like it. It does have a much more matte finish than I'm used to. It is also quite pricey at $38, so I'm not sure I want to spend more to send it back. I'm using a little It Airbrush Illuminizer mostly on my upper face to give it a little life. Just interested in other's impressions.

I got a sample in the mail and what impressed me is that every color worked for me and I am pale. They only put a drop on every color so I had to use some of all the colors. I really liked the finish it gave me and will order it next payday.

I'm glad someone replied - I am interested in this product but have not checked it out yet. Matte sounds like a good thing to me for the warmer weather (it will get warmer, right?). Wonder if they have this at the Benefit stores yet. I would like to see the colors in person.

I got a sample too, but the colors didn't work and the coverage was poor.

I really like how this mattifies. I am fair and the color match is good. It tends to settle into my pores. When I applied this over moisturizer as the directions say, it is much better. I used an oil free moisturizer, and that was ok.

After using for several days now, I have decided that this isn't right for me. Even using after moisturizer, my skin just looks flat and dry. That's just not a good look for a 71 yr.old. As I mentioned before, I probably won't send it back since I've already invested $38+. More than likely, I will try mixing it with another BB to make it usable.

I got the samples (that HSN sent samples impressed me!), but there wasn't enough product to form any opinions. That said, it has a chemical sunscreen, and I only use physical sunblocks, so this one doesn't even tempt me.

I also had misgivings about the chemical sunscreens but succumbed to temptation, regardless. I should know better by now to trust my instincts!

Also received a sample from HSN. The colors were too yellow based for me. I found it to be a little on the thick side as well.

The last couple days I have mixed approximately equal parts Big Easy and Revlon Age Defying CC Cream, and it's not too bad. At least I will be able to use both products, neither of which thrilled me alone. Ideally, we all could find exactly what we want in a single product. Dream on!!!
