Ilia - merllamicorn review for True Skin Serum Foundation

(I received a sample of the a Ilia from Ilia True Skin Serum Foundation in exchange for a fair and honest review.) So... I'm obsessed with this tinted serum. Truly - I'm in love. It's currently my favorite variation of foundation and might just turn out to be a long-term holy grail. It goes on so wonderfully and, really, you can't mess it up - it starts as light coverage (as all tinted serums) but can easily be built up to light-medium/close to medium coverage without it feeling heavy or cakey at all. I've also found that it applies wonderfully with a brush and even your fingers; a beauty blender can work just fine, but you'll need a bit more product that way because it's a serum and is fairly easily soaked up. (I found that I most preferred to apply with a brush or my fingers and then "finish" with a quick pounce of the sponge.) I found it to have a satin-y finish - certainly not matte, but also not overly luminous to the point of looking greasy...it is a really nice balance that gives off a great, very soft natural "glow". It wears beautifully as well. And really does feel quite like a second skin. I genuinely can't recommend this foundation enough - it's def my current obsession! (In fact, I honestly suggest this whole complexion line from Ilia, it's fantastic.)
