So I finally gave this baby a try. I have to say that at first application I liked it. The texture is smooth and lighter than my Asian bb creams. It blended in nicely using my beauty blender. My complexion looked brighter and more even. It still felt a bit like a glorified tinted moisturizer, but it did even out my complexion and left a dewy/ matte finish. 
I powdered lightly to set the bb cream, but I found a few hours later I was a bit too shiny for my taste. I did not use any concealer with the bb cream, but I found that areas on my face looked as if I had used concealer and it was slipping off. 
By evening, I looked pretty worn off. 
Overall verdict, It’s a good tinted moisturizer that need to be touched up 2 to 3 times a day if you want to stay looking fresh. 
Offers light to medium coverage. 
easy to blend
a bit steep at $36 for a full size for a tinted moisturizer, but also not overly expensive for a higher end brand. Really just depends on personal preference.
