Hello, this is the next installment of the...Foundation Files! I kind of feel like they need to have some kind of theme tune...oh well...
The bottle says it's a "super-blendable, perfecting foundation; matches the colour and texture of your skin". I bought this in the depths of winter, when I was rather pale and bored at the airport, too skint to afford anything high-end, so this is what I picked up.
Swatch:
What I like about this foundation:
*The coverage is pretty good, and because it's so light, it does help hide my dark circles (bane of my existence!)
*The price is reasonably good considering how much L'Oreal products usually are (their mascaras are more expensive!) It's also cheaper than other brands, say, for example, Max Factor.
What I don't like about this foundation:
*In the photo of the swatches you can see what my problem with this foundation is. I realise my hands are darker than my face anyway, but it's very pale, and very pink. I bought the shade Rose Vanilla as it seemed to match my skin under the bright lights in the shop, but once out in daylight it is just too pale for my face, meaning it is in no way a "True Match". Admittedly this is my own fault, but the fact it's so light means it's strictly a winter-only foundation! I'd probably be better off with a different shade but I don't know if I like the foundation enough to buy it again.
*Also since trying to wear it again I've accumulated more spots than normal (yes, difficult as it may seem) and I'm not sure if it's down to this foundation. My skin does have a tendency to react to the smallest of things so it might be this, it might not, but I'd rather not take any chances! However, I would probably not repurchase this.
