We've waited so long for the Charlotte Tilbury Beauty Light Wand to come back in stock, instead, we got a new foundation. I tried a sample of the new

Charlotte Tilbury Beautiful Skin Foundation

($44), unfortunately, it really is not what it claims to be. The texture is a bit thick for a liquid foundation. As you blend it out, it does have light-to-medium coverage with a dewy finish, but it accentuates dry patches, textures, and pores, certainly not something you would expect from a product claiming to be hydrating and beautifying. Sorry, Charlotte!

This product does remind me of one of my favorite affordable drugstore tinted moisturizers, the

Wet n Wild Tinted Hydrator

($5.99). It's also formulated with hyaluronic acid, as well as squalane to give all-day-long hydration and glow without being greasy. The texture of the tint is a bit more liquidy and blends out like a dream. The coverage is sheer but can be built to skin-like medium coverage - like a blurring skin filter. For $5.99, this product is comparable to many high-end products and much better than the disappointing Charlotte Tilbury Beautiful Skin Foundation.

If you are looking for an option with more coverage, the

IT Cosmetics CC Cream

 is also a much-loved product better than CT's new launch.
