Karen took to TikTok to share her epic find, after coming across the tinted facial fluid in her local Lidl.
As she documented herself trying the moisturiser for the first time, she noted that it had a "nice colour" and "feels really thick" when it's applied.
"But I wonder how it dries down for everyday," she mused.
"So far I'm really impressed!"
Karen continued to apply the product, using her hands to do so, and said she loved the way it gave her coverage without hiding her gorgeous freckles.
"It's a lovely like golden colour off it," she said.
"Obviously I put none on my neck or my body, but I would take this on holidays, you know, and it's SPF 50.
"Yep, so that's me going to Lidl during the week and getting another one and putting it in the bottom drawer!"
Karen then decided to put the moisturiser to the ultimate test by wearing it for a full day at work.
"Okay, so I'm just done from work. I've had this on all day," she said in another video.

"Obviously it's gone patchy in places, but I put this on at 8 o'clock this morning."
She filmed the update video at 5.30pm - meaning the product had pretty much stayed in place for nine and a half hours.
People were quick to comment on Karen's videos, with one writing: "I got it last week.
"I love it - I've bought 3 for friends to try!"
"Oh this looks lovely!" another said.
"I have a Nivea one and was wishing it was higher SPF, might have to go get this."
The importance of sun cream in your skincare routine
Dermatologist and skincare enthusiast Andrea Suarez - known as Dr Dray - revealed why you should wear suncream.
The one thing you can do that will make the biggest difference - and this matters for all ages - is protecting your skin from the sun, Andrea stressed.
"The vast majority of external aging is due to exposure to ultraviolet radiation," she continued, not because you're "not using some jazzy serum or layering 90 different things on your face everyday".
"If you're not doing in your 20s, get on that now."
But she said the use of sun cream alone doesn't go far enough. Andrea urged that you also wear sun-protective clothing like broad-brimmed hats and long sleeves, on top of not staying out too long in the sun.
Doing this over your lifetime - and all year, not just during the summer or on sunny days - "will reduce the visible signs of photoageing", Andrea said.
Those are wrinkles, muddled pigmentation and sagging skin.
"I love all Lidl skincare, it's now my go to weekly for less than £3.00," a third commented.
"Bought today," someone else wrote.
"Looks a nice colour, Lidl here we come," another laughed.
"I was really impressed with it too," someone else said.
