Review [Mary Kay CC Cream]

A couple weekends ago the gorgeous, Jennifer Baker gave me a Mary Kay makeover. I haven't tried any Mary Kay products in a while and was eager to play with everything. After getting the full glam treatment I decided I needed to order the CC cream. After going through a battle with my skin [and winning that battle], I wanted to have something lightweight to wear every day. A "your skin but better" look. 
Product ClaimGet easy complexion correction with a formula that acts like makeup and is formulated like skin care. Delivers 8 benefits in 1 step. Lightweight coverage for a natural-, flawless-looking complexion. Easy out-the-door option without that “made-up” look. Minimal shades cover a wide range of skin tones. Suitable for all skin types.
Pros
Lightweight feel
Medium coverage
Build-able coverage 
SPF [you should always have an SPF on your face]
Long lasting
Easy to match your shade [I have medium-deep. I think it will be perfect for the spring months too when I get a little darker.] 
I love the pump on it. [you get the perfect amount of product every time]
Smooth/satin finish with a slight glow

Cons
Price [I feel like we always want things to be cheaper. I feel like $20 could be a good price depending on how many uses I can get out of it.]
I did need to blot with blotting sheets about halfway through the day. [that is normal though if I have a more active day] 
Smell [because of the SPF in it, it has a slight sunscreen scent to it. That just makes me think of summertime thought, it doesn't bug me too much.] 
Would I buy this again? Possibly, depending on how long the product lasts. 
I've used it for three days so far and I love it. It makes me feel proud of the work that I have put into my skin. It's still my skin but just a little better.
