I love this product! I was scared that it would feel thick and cakey the way foundations do! This product is perfect for light coverage and it covers smooth and feels fantastic!

This is the best tinted moisturizer that I have ever tried and it will be added to my makeup routine from here on out! It is so fast, literally 30-45 seconds and you're done! I also love the smell however, I think some people make be put off by the floral scent.


Pros for me
-Light coverage
-SPF 15
-Very smooth and moisturizing!

There are no real cons for me for this product however I do feel as it still needs to be set with just a little bit of powder if you want to finish the look! Overall it gets 5 of 5 stars from me for being a tinted moisturizer. If you're looking for very light coverage that feels like a nice facial cream rather than foundation then this is the product for you!

A Vow for Always by Wanda E. Brunstetter

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


A Vow for Always is the conclusion to Wanda E. Brunstetter’s Discovery series and I have absolutely loved the story line!

Once again I, in good conscious, must say that I’m still not pleased with how much these little 124 pages novellas cost.

However, aside from monetary value and in terms of the story line it is definitely a 5-star read! It’s been a pleasure to be given the opportunity to read these and I thank Barbour Publishing for letting me review them!

Following the birth of her son, Meredith is finally moving on with her life. To the dismay of her Mother-In-Law she is seeing Jonah—an old friend from years gone by. I thought there were times with Luke’s mother was downright despicable in how she treated Meredith and even to Jonah! OI! That woman sure knew how to get under my skin!

Luke is hurling straight forward to complete recovery and his memory is returning very quickly—but will he be in time to get to Meredith before she walks down the aisle with Jonah? Oh, the nail biting tension that was culminating in this book! It had me on the edge of my seat even though I logically knew that things would turn out as they should!

I really can’t brag enough about the story. It kept me engaged throughout all six of the novellas and I read through them all in just two days. I was rooting for Meredith and Luke to get back together and pulling for the perfect resolution to the circumstances that pulled them apart in the first place!

An absolutely fantastic and light summer read that will pull you into the lives of these characters. You may feel anger and at times—sadness but that is just proof of such a well written story! Two thumbs up and 5 stars for the story line!

A Revelation in Autumn by Wanda E. Brunstetter

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I’m up to book five of the Discovery! I can’t believe how fast I devoured this little series—literally within days!

I actually have delayed writing my reviews because I enjoyed them too much and wanted to savor the story by musing over it and thinking about what to write!

Once again I’ll point out a disclaimer on this review (for those that haven’t read the other reviews of this series) that while the story is fantastic—the price is a bit expensive for mini-novellas! Hopefully they’ll be released in a combined book format at a later date!

Luke finally remembers his name but he has no recollection of his life otherwise. At this point I was getting a little frustrated because things were starting to progress a bit with Meredith and Jonah! Granted, I really felt that Jonah was a bit too pushy and I started to dislike him at this point.

Meredith’s baby has been born and life is going on for her. I began to seriously dislike her Mother-In-Law at this point though. While I agreed she needed to slow things down a bit—she was totally obnoxious and possessive of Meredith to the point that I wanted to reach through the pages and give her a good whack!

All in all, I really have loved this series. Some of my frustrations with characters are peeking through in this review but I must say—emotion evoked in a reader is the mark of a good writer! The feelings I have expressed are not a bad thing!

If you can find this little series at a bargain price then they’re well worth the read! You won’t be disappointed with the story but as I said prior—you may be frustrated if you pay full price for them as they are only around 124 pages long with a $6.99(ish) price tag!
