I recently picked up the new Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hydrating Tint and Hydrating Concealer at CVS and I have to say...I almost didn't buy them because they were really pricey for drugstore products ($17.79 for the foundation and $15.79 for the concealer). Thankfully, Ulta has them for a few dollars cheaper.
I don't even remember the last time I bought anything from Neutrogena because they don't launch products all that often and when they do, nothing is really jumping out at me to make me want to buy them.

But that particular day, my skin was really parched (as it alway is when the temps drop and the heat is running non-stop) and I was feeling frustrated with my usual foundations looking cakey and clinging to dry patches like they always do this time of year.
I guess the promise of a foundation that could plump and hydrate my skin for 24 hours with hyaluronic acid sounded pretty darn great at that moment so I took the plunge and purchased both the foundation and the concealer.Keep on reading to see my thoughts!
Let's talk about the Hydrating Skin Tint first...
Benefits:
The first day I wore this, I checked my skin in the mirror after about an hour and was so impressed with how great it looked...even better than when first applied! My skin looked plumped up and smooth, fine lines almost non-existent, and I looked younger overall. Not only that, it lasted all day...I couldn't believe it was still going strong by the evening because usually hydrating products break down faster than more drying matte formulas.
Overall, I loved how it made my skin look and feel hydrated all day long...that's quite a challenge in the middle of winter and it really exceeded my expectations.
Now on to my Hydro Boost Concealer review...
Benefits:
Swatches: Here are the swatches on my hand (which is really dry and chapped, sorry about that guys!). I ended up getting the third-lightest shade in the foundation (Buff) because CVS only had four shades available. It's slightly too dark for me, but it works fine because it's a sheerer formula. I chose the Fair shade in the concealer which is the lightest color they offer and it works well, despite being a bit yellow for my pink undertone.
Final Thoughts:
Overall, if you have dry or mature skin I think you'll love the new Neutrogena Hydro Boost Skin Tint and Hydrating Concealer as much as I do. I don't know that this line will work well on oily skin types as they're marketed toward dry skin and I think that's who will benefit the most from these products.
What do you think? Have you tried either of these yet? I'd love to hear about it in the comment section below! :)
