Hola chicas!

It seems as though the snow is gone for good (knock on wood), so I’m here this time to let you in a face-saving product that I don’t leave shade without! (Actually I use it all year round because it’s just so luxurious!)

Hourglass Illusion Tinted Moisturizer

I discovered this liquid gold last year when I was having trouble with foundations flaking off my face before noon. I went to Sephora and tried some richer products, hoping I’d find something that would suit me.

Enter Hourglass. Before that day, I’d never even heard of the brand, except to see it in passing at Sephora. But one I tried a pump of this liquid luxury on my parched skin, I was in love for life.

Granted, this stuff isn’t cheap at $55 a bottle. In fact, you could buy 4 of the drugstore brands for one bottle of this. But this is simply an area where I won’t skimp. Each bottle lasts me about 3  months, and I use it for daily wear.

It’s richer, thicker, and offers more coverage than, say, Stila’s version, but the glow, coverage, and moisture it provides surpasses that of any foundation, tinted moisturizer, or concealer.

I wear it over my CoQ10 lotion for a perfectly hydrated, flawless, sun-friendly finish.
