I bought this foundation before all the adverts came out, as I had run out of my usual Revlon Colourstay, and needed some foundation asap. After spending a good half hour in Boots checking out all the foundations, I went for this one because I always find it hard to find a foundation that actually lasts, and the packaging boasted that not only did it last, but it didn't melt either. "Perfect!" I thought, and not bad for £10.99.
I was wrong.
As I'm incredibly pale, this is one of the only foundations in the shop that actually matched my skin tone, and there were plenty of different ones there, so I can't fault them on that. But that's where the good points end. It certainly does not last as long as it says it does, after around an hour or two it is already starting to melt off, and makes my skin look more shiny and feels greasy (even with powder over the top!)
I've only been using this for about a month, and it hasn't gone down much, which is good. However I am not waiting for it to run out before buying a different one, I hate using this.
I have oily/combination and acne prone skin, so if you have one of these then I definitely would not reccommend this to you. perhaps it is better of people with normal/dry skin as it won't turn your face into a shine fest.
