- Price - I paid £ 18.50 for 30ml of this product I personally think this is a very reasonable price for such a good quality product, I usually pay up to £29 for any make-up product and this is well under my budget which is surprising seen as this product delivers great results and I would defiantly say it's one of the best foundations I've used and one of the cheapest.
The reason I bought the superbalanced foundation was because I have combination skin, and this product is targeted at people who have my skin type as it is an oil free skin product but it also moisturizes in places that are dry.
- Shades available -
There are eighteen shades available of the Clinique Super balanced foundation, the fact the product has a large selection of shades makes this product almost perfect for any skin color and your more than likely to find the perfect shade for your skin color. 36 Beige Chiffon 01 Petal 27 Alabaster 02 Fair 28 Light 04 Cream Chamois 03 Ivory 08 Porcelain Beige 34 Nude Beige 04 Cream Chamois 07 Neutral 05 Vanilla 06 Linen 09 Sand 11 Sunny 14 Wheat 15 Golden 16 Toffee

~ Packaging ~
I love the packaging of this product, it's in a elegant glass bottle with a silver lid, I prefer the packaging of this foundation then my other foundations which are in tube as it's so much easier to put in my make-up bag then a foundation in a long tube, also the bottle is transparent so you can see how much of the foundation you have left, in the past I've had problems with foundations as I don't know when it's running low so I've had to go without make-up for days until I buy some more, where as if you have a transparent bottle you will know days before you're going to run out so you can buy some more.
I personally prefer to use a sponge or foundation brush when I apply foundation, for this product I use a sponge. I wipe the sponge onto the creamy foundation and then apply directly to my face. However, this is not as easy as it sounds as it's easy to apply unevenly, particularly around the eyes, mouth and nostrils, so make sure you check your work before doing the rest of your makeup.
~ The Look ~
I absolutely love the outcome of this product. I feel like I'm not wearing any make-up when I have this product on because it's so soft. It has incredibly good staying power, after a full day from 9am till the evening, my make-up still looked well! Most foundations I have tried out in the past look bad after a few hours but this product really does look as good as when I first apply it.
- My Verdict - I think this product is amazing, its particular great for people who have combination skin (oily and dry) as it moisturizes the dry patches and removes the oil in the oily parts, i mean you cant really go wrong! The price of the product is reasonable and a little bit of foundation goes along way so you dont need to use a lot of the product up, this bottle lasts me up to four month, which i think its great to say I wear it every day!
