not my skin, just grabbed from Google
So here's my review...
As you can see in image 1, the cream is white in color, but once it touches your skin, it blends and adapts to your EXACT SKIN TONE. It smells a bit weird at first but you'll get used to it in no time.
It's a bit sticky but it finishes off matte WHICH I LOVE! The coverage is pretty neat too! :) I don't have to put too much concealer after!
I also love the fact that is has ARGAN OIL which does the skin a lot of benefits!!!
Argan Oil Benefits For Skin
Extracted from the kernel nuts of Argania Spinosa (Official name of Argan Tree), Argan oil has myriad uses in culinary and cosmetic fields. But it is in the cosmetic arena where it has gained so much popularity that it is now called liquid gold by European women because of its numerous cosmetic uses. It is highly valued by skin specialists and beauty experts. Argan oil has long been used as a beauty agent by Berber women; however it was not until recently when its rejuvenating qualities became known to outside world, thanks to Moroccan government which is now taking keen interest in replenishing the source of this precious oil.
Benefits of Argan Oil for Skin
- Argan oil is a complex mixture of chemical compounds like fatty acids (80%), polyphenoles, antioxidants, carotenoids and other acids. Each of these components adds in a particular way to the inventory of uses of
- Argan oil. Some of the benefits of Argan oil for the health and treatment of the skin can be recognized as;
- Argan oil protects the skin against wrinkles appeared due to premature aging. It also helps reduce the appearance of crow’s feet (wrinkles under the eyes).
- It is a very good remedy for dry skin. It does freshen and soften the skill more readily than any other skin softness creams or oils do.
- Protein rich Argan oil is very good for the elasticity of skin. It strengthens the protein bonding structures in the skin which works to tighten the skin and make it look fresh.
- Argan oil is good for reducing skin irritation. It quickly heals the marks caused by scratching on skin.
- One of the most amazing facts about Argan oil is that along with dry skin it is equally good for oily skin.
- Sebum is an oily substance secreted by sebaceous glands which keeps the skin wet and protects against dryness, but its excess secretion is bad for the skin. Argan oil regulates the secretion of sebum and keeps it to a manageable level.

- It gives strength to the weak and easily breakable nails. It also strengthens the delicate skin at the root of nails and makes it smooth.
