Bonjour Beauties,
Today, I've got a review for you! I recently bought this foundation after seeing Zoella (I mentioned her once before-I'm obsessed!) review it on her Youtube channel. She advised that it wasn't great for oily skin, and as mine as been really dry lately, I figured it should work pretty well for me. And I'm really pleased with the result. The foundation has a light-medium coverage which I find is perfect for when my skin is normal, but I've recently had a breakout and the foundation does very little to cover actual blemishes, in my opinion, but to me that's really not an issue has I have a full-coverage concealer that combined with this foundation gives me a really nice, medium-full coverage and covers any imperfections. However, if you're looking for a foundation that will put your concealer out of business, this probably won't be the one for you.
I would definitely say that it's one for the dry skinned people, as it gives quite a glow to the skin, and I fear it would just slip and slide off of an oilier skin. I powder it a little bit as I find otherwise it makes me look a little too shiny for my liking, though if you're a fan of that whole "dewy" look, then it's probably perfect for you just on its own! I got shade 51 which was the lightest, and it looks a little darker in the photos than it actually is; with some blending, it's the perfect colour for me!
It retails for £10.99 at Boots, which originally I thought was slightly excessive for a drugstore branded foundation, but I'm really impressed with the quality and the packaging is of a reasonable standard, though I find it's not quite as nice as the glass bottles that Rimmel London use for their foundations. Also, there is a huge amount of product in the bottle which is important to keep in mind, so that makes it even better value for money.
So, overall, I'm a little bit in love with this foundation and so far, it's probably on it's way to being my favourite, though I'm still a little undesicive on that one!
