ALMAY CC Cream Review + $100 Giveaway!!

I posted about my first ever Photo Facial yesterday! After getting the Photo Facial I decided to really try and maintain the results by looking into better make up and skin care to help prevent sun damage. Almay has helped me with that!

As you guys know by now, Almay has been a brand I have used for years. I have loved having the opportunity to keep trying their latest and newest products, and I have another great one to share with you today! The Almay Smart Shade CC Cream™. My first thought was, what does the CC stand for? Well CC stands for Complexion Corrector. I don't know about you, but I am always looking for something to even out my complexion! With my light sensitive skin, I always have an array of different red skin tones going on, and when I can find a makeup that corrects all of that, I am in heaven! "Like a BB cream, a CC cream combines the benefits of skincare and makeup, but works even harder to color correct for beautiful, even skin now and over time. It diminishes the appearance of imperfections, dull skin tone and discolorations, while hydrating and promoting luminosity for a smooth, soft, even and radiant complexion."

My favorite Almay products have always been their foundations and concealers, and this one didn't disappoint! I am always looking for ways to get some SPF into my makeup products and love that these have SPF 35. In fact, this formula has proven to brighten and even your skin tone over time, as well as helping you prevent further damage because of the SPF.

You can wear this CC cream alone on bare skin or underneath your foundation. I don't like to feel like I am wearing a lot of makeup, so I love that before a Girl's Night Out I can simply put this lightweight formula on and have that flawless clean finish!
