Advantages: Blends well, isn't heavy, protects against sun related skin damage Disadvantages: Can get water-y (separates), expensive, middling coverage
neutral - there is a slight moisturiser/chemical smell, but nothing offensive, and not terribly noticeable, especially once it's applied.
It goes on well, and blends easily, as you'd expect a product with the consistency of moisturiser to do. It does not cover as well as a 'proper' foundation, though it does a reasonable job of correcting the dark circles under my eyes (though I do still use a cover stick for those, as the coverage isn't complete).
I don't always (and by 'always' read 'often') remember to moisturise. Many moisturisers come with an SPF factor - the fact that I forget to use mine means that I'm grateful for the SPF15, thus hopefully protecting my skin from aging (though, having said that, since I seldom wear make up, it's a bit of a moot point).

Because my skin can be a bit problematic with both oily and the occasional slightly dry patch, I was told that this would be a great foundation for me, as it is oil free and moisturising, as well as providing good coverage.
It is packaged in a slim tube containing 40mls ...
Advantages: blends beautifully, perfect match, lasts agesss Disadvantages: expensive and Mac counters are crap
