A few weeks ago, I posted about the Omorovicza’s Gold Flashing Serum, a miracle product that literally tightens your face immediately after you put it on. I use it twice a day – it’s that miraculous. As a result, I go through the little bottle fairly quickly. So recently I had to pop by the Four Seasons Spa to pick up a new bottle of what I like to call my liquid gold, and discovered another amazing product: the Omorovicza Complexion Enhancer. This is both a cream and foundation all built into one. It. Is. Amazing. I have stopped using foundation altogether since this product first touched my skin.

While I have used this line for the serum and the eye cream (I’ll be writing about that little gem soon), I hadn’t thought to buy the day cream, too – that is, until three weeks ago. The aesthetician did a fantastic job at selling me the fact that the cream will also fight wrinkles and that it hydrates the skin better than any other cream she has ever worked with. Then she sold me on the fact that the tinted moisturizer (there is both a regular cream and a tinted cream) can actually act as your daily foundation. So while the price point is high, her enthusiasm got to me and I figured I was saving on not having to buy the two products separately.

The next morning I tried it and just like the rest of the line, it makes an instant difference. I swear since I started using it, everyone tells me I’m glowing. That said, I love it most of all because it feels so good on my skin and has an SPF of 15 so I’m always safe from those dangerous rays. The cream is so light that they only make the one skin-tone “tint” and its usable by all skin colours. Also noteworthy is the fact that it evens out your skin’s colour and covers blemishes without giving you that “cakey” look that a regular foundation often does. Really, I highly recommend it.

Now, after all this, I will say it’s not the cheapest product on the market… but I justify it by telling myself it’s an investment in my future. At 40 with my better half some years younger (yup, I’m that girl), I figure this is money well invested!
