Banilla Co. It Radiant CC Cream Review

I haven't used too many CC creams as I like to use BB creams for more coverage. It never occurred to me that a CC cream would help your foundation last longer (yeah I'm not a huge makeup person) so I decided to try one out for myself!

Product Description: (found on Banilla Co. site)

This water-based color correcting formula helps create youthful,
radiant complexion with the transparent brightening capsules while the herb water complex moisturizes the skin.

I'm actually quite surprised to see so many plant extracts and Niacinamide in a CC cream!  Although there a lot of fillers, they are mostly for texture and there are only 3 acne triggers.

Overall:

I really like that the CC cream comes with a pump to dispense it. The pump doesn't disperse too much cream but a little goes a long way. It has a very light texture light scent of sunscreen. I do feel like it will be too much to have both this and my cushion on in the summer time though.

The CC cream really did help to make my IOPE foundation last longer but I wouldn't go as far to say that it "brightened and moisturized" my face like the description stated. I plan on using it up :)

Rating:

I really love all of the ingredients in this CC cream as well as the fact that it does even out my skin tone to act as a base for my foundation. This will probably be too heavy for my combo skin in the summer and I'll start looking oily pretty quick in the heat.
