Has anyone tried the ILIA Skin Rewind Blurring Foundation and Concealer Complexion Stick  it looks amazing, if you’ve tried it let me know your thoughts on it! I like how it has two things in one to save a step I just am not sure how it actually turns out!

Yes, I bought it just a couple days ago - I'm a total sucker for a stick foundation and somehow I feel like they don't count towards my foundation no-buy!

I really like it, with a couple caveats. I would say it's light-medium coverage and as for concealing - it is covering some of my hyperpigmentation but not some acne spots that are more red and darker. For those I definitely needed to add a real concealer. It feels SUPER lightweight and blends in so smoothly and effortlessly. I have only worn it one full day, so it's not a full review but I put it on at about 9:00 am yesterday and it was still on at 7:00 pm - though I didn't prep my skin very well, and I could see a few little patches where it was cliinging to a little bit of dryer skin or had separated a tiny bit. Honestly, though, that is amazing for me for any product to even be remotely still visible on my face after that many hours, usually it just disappears altogether. And the only reason I noticed it is because I was in a Sephora and looking closely at a mirror with strong lighting. So, I'm going to try it again today with a more complete skin prep, and I can report back after more testing. 

Oh, last thing - my shade ended up being lighter than I would have expected 5C-Pine. I'm usually in the "light skin with pink or cool undertones" category and that one shows as "very light with cool undertones" but the others were all too dark/warm on me. I'm not sure if that's universal for all the shades but if I had bought online, surely I would have bought 10C-ash based on the description, but that would have been too dark. @peculiarzmakeup

Thank you so much for your answer to this question. I like knowing the Ins and outs before I buy, I like how you mentioned it last really long but also the thing about the concealer. I appreciate your giving your insights they are so helpful! @sister13  ❤️
