STYLETHREAD -- LET'S TALK SHOP!

By way of a quick review:
I realized that my skincare routine really needed an overhaul...I'd basically been using the same products since high school.  While it's definitely on the costlier side for me, I've always had luck with Origins products.  For years my routine was (unless I couldn't handle the cost and tried drugstore brands!):
wash am/pm with Checks and Balances
tone in the summer with United State
moisturize with Balanced Diet

Worked fine until lately when my skin started need more.
So I did some online shopping and bought the new Vitazing moisturizer after reading 'glowing' reviews.  Nearly every review mentioned 'glow' 'radiance' 'even complexion' so I thought it was a no-brainer for me. Boy was I wrong!
Vitazing should be marketed as a tinted moisturizer suitable only for certain skin tones.  On me it went on masklike...almost a white-out effect on my face.  So that glow?  It's just added colour. Also, the texture once it settled in was dry and chalky.

The sales associate asked that I be sure to review the product so others would know that it's not suitable for skin in the olive or darker tones, or even very fair skin.
