    blah

    Okay so first off, I really didn't like this foundation. It's very heavy, very hard to blend, I found it just sat on the face, I felt like a total cake. 

    It does have good points though, the colour range pretty good considering it's a drug store foundation, the shade I got was ''Light Porcelain'', It's the lightest shade in the line I believe (could be wrong) and it was still to dark for me.. It did oxidize quite a bit as well. 

    I like the packaging I think it's super cute, I love the bright white and purple. 

    I really wanted to love this foundation, for the last 5 years my go to everyday foundation was Rimmel's ''clean finish'' foundation, but for some reason I can't find it anymore I have no idea why, but I doesn't seem to be available anywhere and I had hoped this would be similar but I really disliked it. 

    However, I've been using it as a base for my eye shadow, I found it was thick enough like a really good eye primer, it didn't seem to move on my eyelids where my face it didn't want to dry down, it was way to thick and wouldn't blend and just moved around way to much for my liking, but the eye lids it stayed in place and was the perfect base for my eye shadow. 

    I didn't notice any scent on it. 

    Even over top my regular primer it seemed to basically make my pores more prominent.

    If you have any skin issues, or uneven skin texture it seems to highlight it, make it more noticeable and more prominent which isn't what most want with a foundation.

    For me, I want a foundation that is heavy but doesn't feel heavy. I want the look of having new skin without the feeling of it on my face. I want the coverage but I need my skin to feel like it can breathe.

    I really love their stay matte pressed powder, it's one of my favourite pressed powders.

    The size and price point are both great.

    This stuff is super oily, after I had it for about a month it started separating and turning orange, and oil would come out and it was gross. I sent it back to the company and exchanged it for they're stay matte bb cream which is so much better. It also looks powdery and chalky, very hard to blend and you can't build up coverage or it turns cakey. They also run a pink undertone which doesn't work for me.

    I have severely dry skin right now and this foundation did not help any. It’s a shine control formula which usually means it’s meant to dry out the oils on your face. not a good thing for me right now…maybe later this summer when my face turns into an oil slick.

    The price was great and that's where the positive in my review ends. It wen't on cakey, did not blend at all, left terrible very noticeable make-up lines. Even used very lightly it was just a hot mess. Used once, scrubbed it off and I wouldn't try again.
