MY REVIEW
I have been trying soo many foundations lately since I am on the hunt for a good Summer Foundation.
So here is another try for me.
Texture-It is said to be a mousse like foudation but its not which I actually prefer. I do not like the mousse foundations since they ball up when I apply them.
The texture is very creamy but not too thick it kind of feels like a gel based foundation but just a bit thicker. I like the texture.
Coverage/Lasting Power-This is a buildable foundation for medium to full coverage. It does not feel to heavy nor does it cake on me.
It actually remains matte throughout the day. I don't know about it lasting 24hrs. because I do not wear my makeup that long, but it does last a good 10 hrs. looking very nice.
I like that I did not feel my foundation was sliding off my face.
I was testing this for the first time and did noticed that after 8 hrs. of applying this foundation I fealt the need to touch up.
Although I do touch up with pressed powder throughout the day.
Packaging-It is a glass jar, a bit heavy and bulky for carrying around.
The only thing I don't like about jars is that I have to actually touch my foundation since I have to use my finger as I don't like to dip my brush inside the jar, but I do like the product so Im willing to deal with this for now. I do prefer foundations with a pump.
My Color-the shade I got is 320 Warm Golden. For reference I am a NC35-37 in Mac. Warm Golden is almost my perfect match just a bit lighter not too much though. It has a bit of yellow undertone which is what I look for in my foundations and it is hard to find in Drugstore brands. I will purchase the next color 330 just beacuse I will get darker this summer. I will post an update about the color once I get it.
Price- At CVS it is $14.99 it is half of what I pay for my HG foundation. Although I actually paid only $7 since I used CVS Coupons and Extra Bucks. So it was a good deal for me.
Overall-I liked this foundation for the summer so far.
It does stay, does not move around and has a good coverage.
I did not breakout with this.
For a daily use this foundation is good for me.

Hope you guys liked this review!
