I share a demo and thorough review of the following products:

• Bare Minerals has a new product called Complexion Rescue Tinted Hydrating Gel Cream--think of it like a BB cream or tinted moisturizer but it sinks into the skin like a gel. It is so light!
• Comes in 10 shades
• Unscented, no silicone or parabens
• Broad spectrum SPF 30
• Gives powerful hydration to thirsty skin, and I would recommend it for dry and normal skin.
• I'm wearing 3 layers in the pic at the bottom--it gives light to medium coverage. I didn't wear powder in the demo and did get a little oily as the day wore on. I got
• Love the glow on this and it looks great on camera.
• $29 at ULTA, Sephora, Bare Escentuals stores and online.
• Overall, I liked wearing 2 or 3 layers of this to get the coverage I wanted. If you have beautiful skin you can easily get away with 1 layer. I would purchase this for those days when I wanted light coverage and a product to really sink into skin.

• They also released a brush in conjunction with the Complexion Rescue called Smoothing Face Brush for $28.
• While the Complexion Rescue can be applied with fingertips (I compare both in the video) I preferred using the brush.
• It's a soft, dual-fibre brush that can be used with other cream, liquid, and powder products. 
• While it is not necessary to apply the product, I really liked this brush.

Have you tried any of these products?

Extra Elle:

• I had so much fun with the little ones yesterday flying kites, even though it was so cold and windy! I never get tired of seeing wonder in a child's eye!
• My mind is in vacation mode! Today is gonna drag by, but hopefully it flies by!
• I'll be at the Magic Kingdom for the next few days, so please follow my adventures on Instagram!
