Get The Look in Less Time with Arbonne's 10-in-1 CC Cream

One thing that I have noticed about the new Spring cosmetics trends after coming out of such a long cold winter are going much more natural with the application. Think simple eyes, bright lips & cheeks & moisturized / dewy skin! 
& while I love a good full face routine as much as the next makeup lover, I don't always have the time, or patience. With the weather growing warmer, this 10-in-1 CC cream is super light and fresh feeling & can literally be applied in seconds! Arbonne launched this product last year, at the start of this whole cc/bb craze! The Intelligence CC Cream is described as a 10-in-1 "complexion control cream" that provides lightweight, build-able coverage in one time-saving product. I'm sure you're wondering what the 10 benefits are: it primes, protects the skin's moisture barrier, conceals discolourations, hydrates, mattifies, brightens, covers blemishes, refines pores, soothes and helps perfect your overall complexion. 
Note that there's no SPF in this CC cream—although I actually prefer mine not to, as I use a moisturizer that does.
The product is available in four different shades—Fair, Light, Medium and Dark—which you can also mix to create the perfect colour for your skin.
I found all four of the shades super high pigmented (in their own right), & build coverage very well. 
[I find one nickel-sized drop enough to provide enough coverage for me] 
It blends really easily to create a seamless transition because there is seriously nothing worse than a mask of foundation! It has an almost golden undertone to it which I love! I also love that it doesn't feel wet or sticky during the application process & has a fresh/clean feeling once set & a Semi-Dewy finish! [Anytime I am applying cosmetics/ recommending a product to someone who is New to using them or hasn't liked the feel of previous brands of foundation in past, this is my Go To, because it really does feel like bare skin!] 

I myself have super dry skin, which can be a bit of an issue sometimes when I am applying certain types of concealer/foundation - That any dryer areas look darker and sometimes hold to much of the product which can be difficult to blend out properly! I found this product worked really well on my skin type & unlike some others didn't leave my face feeling dry, but actually works to hydrate the skin & protect the skins moisture barrier allowing it to retain more of its own natural moisture! 
My Before & After
I applied the CC Cream to my entire Face & absolutely NOTHING else
(I would normally wear a blush as well but I skipped it for the sake of a truer Before & After comparison).
