Does it contain any special/beneficial ingredients?

Again, according to sephora.com:

-Pomegranate Extract: A powerful superfood rich in antioxidants; improves skin texture and quality while boosting radiance for glowing skin.

-Illuminating Minerals: Reflect light to help improve luminosity and instantly brighten skin; help diminish dull skin and visibly reduce the appearance of fatigue..

What is the texture like?

This feels like a lightweight cream and is refreshing when applied; I thought it might give my skin a weird tint but the color does blend in fully and just leaves a satiny sheen behind.

Is it scented?

The scent of this is hard to explain, it has this café au lait meets floral meets something sweet-sour which sounds like a bizarre combination but I personally really like it.

My overall experience/comments on the product:

Overall I find this to be a nice moisturizer that leaves my skin with a pretty glow and a soft, diffused look to the skin. I really like the way it makes my skin look but at its price point I think it's pricey for what it is.

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.
