I can only find this now online and it's a summertime must for me for the lively kick of glow and subtle color it gives my skin. It's a great light moisturizer with retinol and I wear it alone or under foundation. I have no idea what I will replace this with when it's no longer available. Whatever the replacement will be, I'm pretty sure it won't cost $3.99. Suggestions welcome!

I read the reviews and went and bought product and I hate it. It does nothing for me I have red tones in my face and it just makes my face ruddier. I could never ever go with out foundation with this product it has some kind of gold shimmer in it but it goes away and I cant tell its there other than my red face. It dose not brighten my skin either and does not moisturize either. Sigh back to my old fav ROC

(Bought Bronze, had reviewed the Buff). Being over 40, my skin needs some glow, I LOVE this product. It makes my skin LOOK good and feel good, great moisturizing qualities (retinol is one), sometimes I just put this on if casual day. Now that summer is close, I will mix this with Buff, or add with my regular foundation.

I use this product every once in awhile when I feel like doing a little extra primping. I'm on my second tube in the Buff color.

I love how it gives my skin a dewy and fresh glow. Compared to Loreal's Skinlights, I like this one more because I think it's more creamy. Other than Loreal's Skinlights however, I do not have anything else I can compare this product to because I haven't tried any other product like it.

This isn't too bad as a skin brightener. The shimmer is about average, but the application is a bit choppy and you have to massage the tube before using or else the product tends to seperate. A little on the greasy side. I prefer L'Oreal's "Skinlights" to this product.

This is ok. I use it sometimes when I feel like doing a little extra primping. I imagine that it makes my skin look more lustrous, but in reality I don't think you can really tell I'm wearing it.

I just got this about a week ago and have been using it every day since as a TM. I really like it...I have it in the medium shade for spring and summer when I self tan my face. It gives a great glow, some bronze color and has no smell or obvious shimmer. I really like the pump bottle. I am using this instead of buying Chanel's sheer brillance. Love the $8 price too!

I have this in bronze. It adds a nice, brown glow, which as an earlier review mentioned is not orange and is creates a nice, dewy, glowing effect. I like the fact that unlike a lot of other "face brightener/illuminator/shimmer" product it doesn't have noticable pieces of glitter/sparkles in it. It also feels light upon application, allowing your skin to breathe. I have tried it over foundation and it looks nice, but I have yet to try it over bare skin. Regardless, this one of my favorite bronzers, and is pretty inexpensive. I purchased it for under $8. I was told this was a seasonal product, so if you're planning to test this out, don't wait too long!

I thought I would give these a try, and by the sound of it from the last reviewers, they may have reformulated and repackaged this.

I actually really like this product. I have bare and bronze. I use bare on my cheekbones and it gives my cheeks a dewy finish. Bare is recommended for fair skin types.

I use the bronze one all over and it give me this amazing bronze look which is NOT orange!! Amazing! I'm going to have to stock up on this one since I don't tan my face in the summer.

This comes in a pump tube and I cannot detect any smell at all. And I have a sensitive nose. I can hardly wear perfume. I like the texture of this as well. It's kind of gel-like. More like a soft gel cream. This blends easily and I have not broken out because of it!

Try this for the summer. It's cheap and you can always return it if you don't like it.

I just bought this with high hopes, not only because it is a new product but also because I love tinted moisturizer products--I love to have my face GLOW and be DEWEY without looking oily...but...this product let me down. The smell is gross, the texture is so-so, but what really made me *sigh* was that it didn't really do anything at all. The tint wasn't great, the color didn't really show up! There was no dewy-ness to it...just altogether it was a bad purchase.

i am always on the lookout for a cheaper version of my all time favotrite tinted moisturizer, Paula Dorf face tint. This actually is similar: it has sheer color (although not *quite* as even coverage as Paula Dorf.) and subtle shimmer and provides a glow. The texture is not as oily as Paula Dorf, which is bad for me but might be good for someone else. The real problem with this is the smell: it's impossible to describe... but trust me it's gross. and it really lingers throughout the day. This wasn't THAT cheap either. the packaging is easy to use and overall it's an OK product. too bad about the smell!
