Almay Smart Shade

Just saw an ad for it and read a couple of reviews for the product. Only thing, I don't entirely buy into reviews - you guys are the source I really trust.

I've read that the coverage isn't too thick, more on the sheer side, somewhere between tinted moisturizer and foundation... The color is supposed to be a good match. Has anyone here tried it? What do you guys say?

Buy it at Longs, keep your receipt and bring it back if it sucks.

Ooh! I've heard about this stuff! Have you purchased any, E? Are you going to try it? I'm dyin' to know!

I'm admit, I'm amazed by this stuff! My first thought was, "how does it know?" Clever make-up!

Actually, I want to try something very similiar. I just received the new BeneFit catalog (I'm a big fan of BeneFit & have been using their stuff for years- I really recommend their products)! One of the products I'm really interested in trying is their Some-Kind-Of-Gorgeous make-up compact!

The compact is absolutely darling (it looks like a vinyl record) and like the Almay product, it comes in one shade that adjusts to every skin type. Honestly, I'm thrilled with the make-up I already use, which is Bare Escentuals Bare Minerals. However, I don't wear a full face of make-up every day. I want something really simple, neat, that I can pop in my purse and take on-the-go. My everyday routine pretty much consists of primer (I use BeneFit's That Gal. It's fabulous!) & lip balm. I'm pretty simple these days!

PLEASE let me know how the Almay product works! I'd love to know! Almay makes wonderfully skin friendly products. :)
