Review of Product: CVS is my go-to store for all of my beauty needs and I love that they reward me for my loyalty by giving me $5 in rewards back when I spend $50 on designated beauty items! I am obsessed with the Nuance line, I love that it is so luxurious yet affordable! The scrub was my favorite item in the basket – it was gritty but left my skin feeling so polished and the smell was heavenly! The skin effects facial was a treat and so much more affordable than a trip to the spa. I did it one night while I was watching TV and was happy at how it left my skin. The Essence of Beauty mist was a nice and light scent that wasn’t overpowering. The Nuance foundation was light but gave great coverage. It didn’t make my skin break out and the shades were very flattering!
