    Achieve Glowy Skin

    I have a dry and dull skin. ILIA The Base Face Milk Essence & Lightweight Moisturizer calms my skin's redness. It hydrates my skin and brightens it. My skin looks glowy and feels nourished. The texture is milky. A little bit goes a long way. It is non-sticky and fast-absorbing. I like that it can be used alone or before makeup. Received a free sample in exchange for my honest review.

    The best I have ever tried

    I have tried so many moisturizers . This one really absorbs , hydrates and plumps my skin . The best part is that it has no fragrance and is just the best sensation and experience on my face . I look forward to applying it everyday . Please don’t change the formula or discontinue it . The mascara is everything as well!!!

    I use this product at night after my nighttime routine and it leaves your skin ready for full coverage makeup! Don't go to bed without it!
