    Holy Grail

    What I liked:

    • Feels like nothing on the skin (huge win for SPF)

    • No white cast thanks to the tint

    • Gives that healthy, skin-like finish (not greasy, not matte)

    • Plays well with makeup (no weird separation)

    I received a free sample for my honest opinion. ILIA is such a high end brand and so get a free sample was so cool. I would definitely recommend this product and all their other products because they are easy to use and works great on every skin type.
