The Smell Reminds Me of Someone

I've only been using this a few weeks, but I really like it. I have extremely dry, sensitive skin, and I'm forty-one. This makes my skin feel really soft and supple. This BB Boomer claims that it helps your BB Cream adhere and prolongs the wear of your BB Cream, and I was skeptical. But I can attest that it actually does. It's a lot like a primer to me. But I would also wear it alone for "ponytail and yoga pants" days when I'm just hanging around in the house. (I don't think it contains any SPF.)It does brighten my skin, and that takes a few years off. I have used skin brighteners by drug store brands and by Bare Minerals. I have to admit that those brands seemed very watery. This has more substance. It is thicker, but not in a pasty way at all. It's creamy, and it feels good on my skin. It almost feels soothing. I haven't ever used a product that claimed to prolong the wear of my foundation or BB cream. This was a first. I'm impressed, and I think it's worth it.If I have anything negative to say about this product (and it's clearly not enough to deduct stars) it would be the smell. It is NOT an offensive smell at all, but it smells a lot like roses and powder. I'm a romantic and that's not usually a bad thing for me, but in this instance it isn't great. It reminds me of my grandmother, who in her more mature years, became very inept at applying her make-up. She often would leave her home with pale blue eyeshadow all the way up to her eyebrows and too much blush on her cheeks, and she was so happy and her friends didn't seem to notice so we never mentioned it to her. I don't want to smell like "an old lady." Luckily! The smell dissipates after a few minutes, or after I spray on my own perfume. My husband doesn't notice the smell at all.I really do like this. I'm still going to wear it, and I'll buy more when I run out. And when I put it on in the morning, I'll just chuckle to myself and think of my sweet, silly grandmother and how much fun she was. Then I'll be glad when the smell fades and I can fool people into thinking I'm not in my forties yet! ;-)

Pros
