CLINIQUE Moisture Surge CC Cream review

Hi

Two weeks ago I picked up  2 samples of  new clinique Moisture Surge CC Cream in light and very light.
I have been using them both ever since every morning and this is my thoughts about this product.

It comes in 1.4 oz tube and has Broad Spectrum SPF 30 .It is oil free and comes in 8 shades.As I mentioned I have light and very light which both are a little dark for my skin tone(MAC NC 20 for reference). I can get away with it now that my skin is a bit darker because of the sun but I feel they will be too dark for me during the winter time .I feel they both have a bit of a pink undertone and very light one is not much lighter than the light one !! I don't have the full size cream So I insert  an image of the full size from Google for you .

 This is what the product claims to do:

  color-correcting formula smooths the complexion and creates an ultra natural radiance. It instantly corrects a range of complexion concerns including dullness, sallowness, and redness. Perfect for wearing alone or under foundation and recommended for all skin types, the lightweight, oil-free cream moisturizes and protects with sunscreen, leaving the skin soft, fresh, and flawless. 

 My experience:

First off as I mentioned  all of the shades are a little dark for people like me with fair skin.It has a thick and creamy consistency which blends easily .I apply it with my fingers and go over my face with my blending brush (Sigma angled kabuki-F84). 



It gives a light to medium coverage which I like for every day ,but If I want to cover every thing I need to apply concealer on my sun spots.It gives satin finish.It gives a little glow to skin but not too much in my opinion to make you look  oily.It is very light wight.


Blended in to my skin,you can see the amount of coverage and glow
I apply my daily moisturiser underneath,I don't feel it has enough hydration for my skin. It stays nicely throughout the day .On my T zone I become a little shiny after 4 to 5 hrs but nothing major.
It didn't break me out. In general I like this cream and I might purchase the full size and the only reason I say I might is the darkness of the shades.

Price is 39.00 CAD and you can find it at sephora or any Clinique counter.
