New Alba Botanica Even Advanced CC Cream

Apparently this new CC Cream from Alba Botanica (makers of Jason, Avalon Organics, Queen Helene and lots of other brands) has been out since August, but it's new to me! This product is now available on the Target website (one of the two shades is also available in-store) and also via the Alba website (it's two dollars cheaper at Target):

Alba Bontanica Even Advanced CC Cream SPF15
(retail: $12.49 - $14.49, 1.7 oz)

Alba Botanica Even Advanced CC Cream is available in two shades: Fair to Light and Light to Medium. I think the price point is quite fair, even at the higher end of the range, considering that you get 1.7 oz of product (some BB/CC creams only give you 1.0 oz and charge nearly as much).

From the Alba website:

According to this review, the Fair to Light shade apparently is pretty neutral with just some pink undertones to it (no yellow).

Have you seen this product in stores yet? Think you might give it a shot?

  5. I love, love, love this! I love it even better than my MAC foundation. I do use MAC MSFN in light to set it and give a natural finish.
