I bought the "special summer edition" which has a SPF 15 that CG's regular Simply Powder Foundation doesn't have. I am hoping that they plan to make this a permanent offering because I won't use a foundation without sunscreen.



I liked this product. It gives sheer coverage that looks very natural on me. The sunscreen is part titanium dioxide which is broad spectrum. I would recommend this to anyone with normal-to-oily skin. The colors run dark, meaning that the "Ivory" in this product is darker than CG's other "Ivory" foundations, for example. The colors run so dark that there is no shade for very fair skin.



I put this on with a brush for even more sheer coverage than the sponge it comes with, and it still evens out my skin tone. I do have to touch-up during the day, but the beauty of a pressed powder foundation is that it is so easy to touch-up. Just whip your compact out of your purse and in a minute you are done.



I also really liked the packaging for the "summer edition" ... a beautiful aquamarine blue plastic compact, very classy. Matches the blue packaging of CG's new TripleLipsticks, which are also great and have a great sunscreen.
