Sometimes supersize is not as good quality or somehow slightly off.

I don't know the comparison, but I just received my TSV yesterday. I absolutely love this CC cream. I chose the light; it works beautifully for my skin. I have oily skin; I might have to "blot" my skin in the summer, but that's normal for me. The coverage is great. Now I don't look "absolutely flawless"...but I haven't found a foundation/BB or CC cream that makes me look like that anyway. (I probably could come close if I were to "build" it on my skin. I just used it one time (today) and wore it like I do my other foundations.) I do have some sun damage and fine lines, esp. near my eyes, and an occasional blemish. But this CC cream really does a great job of covering without looking cakey. I wear Laura Gellar B&B in the Fair, It Celebration Foundation in the Medium (Beige), and used to wear BE in medium beige. I can wear the It Cosmetics Bye Bye Undereye in either the light or medium...just depends on what kind of look I am going for. The Light shade works great; I'd love to try the medium just to see the difference. I may go to Ulta and try that shade...especially in the summer when I get a little more color. I'll also add that I normally swipe a powder foundation on top of my bb/cc creams to set it. That also builds my coverage.

I know I probably didn't help you as far as comparing the smaller size to the supersize, but I wanted you to know how much I really, really like the CC cream!!

I have the small fair and just got the humongous kit. To be honest, not positive the new one is identical. The new one seems a little more liquid, but I think that is a good thing. It's possible that my smaller tube just got thicker with time, I can't remember exactly the original consistency. I wouldn't worry about the large tube though, it seems like it's as good or better than before IMO. Now I have to decide if I am fair or light since if I keep 2 kits I will have a life-time supply. Also, if they bring out a fairly-light shade down the road I will shoot myself.

Anyone else?

Oh gosh, hope this isn't true - mine is just now shipping. Hopefully some more ladies who purchased will respond.....

I don't want it if it's different. I'll stick with the original.

I ordered the TSV too and also in the light; had already tried the medium which is warmer but not orange on my skin. During the presentation, I thought a couple of the blonde models wearing the medium looked way too orange and should have been in the light. Also, I'm not so sure about the idea of using a supersized version as there's the issue of how long this will last with preservatives or is there no preservatives.....a subject no one has mentioned. Just because it's in a tube doesn't mean it's impervious to bacterial contamination. It's better than jar packaging but not a whole lot better. In answer to the OP's question is this the same as the smaller version, in my opinion yes.

Thank you, Foundinlv. I also use the light and am looking forward to getting the larger size. Almost was talked into medium, because I like to think I am not as fair as I am, but it does look orange on me, and I noticed it looked orange on a few of the models, too.

You're welcome Krissie. I tried mixing the light with the medium (while using more of the light and just a small dab of medium) and I like it.

I received my kit yesterday. To be honest, I was fully prepared to repackage and send back. I always suffer from serious buyers regret from spending the amounts of $$ the products cost. However, I did unpack it and used the CC cream this morning and I love it!! The super size of the product was a pleasant surprise as well. I'm not really confident with the brush at this point. I've never used a brush for liquids at all but I'm sure I'll get the hang of it. Choosing a shade is always an issue with me as well and I wavered back and forth between light and medium. I did go with the medium and it seems just right. No orangeness on my skin.

I just got my kit and it seems just the same as my original tube. I tried both and look identical. My shade is fair, a pinch of yellow in it but not as bad as some foundations.
