I really like this foundation! It's a great color match, feels good on my skin, and even smells good. I think it's actually helped improve the texture of my skin with use. It's light, non-greasy, and easy to use. A little too much can come out of the tube if I'm not careful, but it's easy enough to avoid. I will buy this foundation again.

I have never been an Almay custormer, but I had a coupon. I think this is more of a TM than foundation, but I found it to be a good choice for me. It lasted longer than I thought it would. Was able to get a good match to the lightest shade. Definitely something I use on days when I want to be more natural looking. I have older combination skin. needed to blot the T-zone as the day went on, but that is expected. Worth a try.

I'm actually loving this product. I think it's more like a TM since it just kinda even out my skintone. I'm NC25 & I picked Neutral & it matches nicely. I also can get away with Sand eventhough it's a tiny bit darker. It feels really light on my skin & love that it's made of mostly natural ingredients! Not crazy about the scent though. Will def continue to buy if I ran out!

One evening, while searching for a mother's day present in Target, I eyed this foundation, and purely because it came with a free lip gloss. I had never tried any Almay foundations before, but only because the shades all seemed to be too light for me. Once I saw little tan sticker in the corner which said "honey", I snatched it up. Sure enough, when I got home it was a perfect match for my skin tone :-D ! Be warned, this is a very "wet" foundation, and takes a little while to dry. I'll be honest, I thought this was strange, but it's worth it in the end. This is NOT a matte foundation, it offers a bit of a dewy glow to the skin. The first time I used it I applied (powdered) blush right after, but soon found out I couldn't because the brush was sticking to my skin. I wore this to school (which begins at 7:30) and went home at 8:00 PM after a rigorous rehearsal, and the foundation was still there, albeit a bit oily. I must say that the amount of product you get seems small even though it is one ounce.. which is standard with foundation. I just feel like you have to use a bit more than with a normal foundation making it run out faster, even though I definitely would re-buy. Also, this has a very light flowery smell, almost like that of a scented tampon, which hey is a little weird =P But overall this is a great foundation which has made my skin clearer (:O natural contents is not a gimmick?!) and my skin appears fresher. How I wish I could say the same about the attached lip gloss..
Price: $11.99 USD at Target
Colour Purchased: Honey
Recommend: Yess

i liked this product because as a liquid foundation it didnt give me any breakouts. this product is good for an overall natural look... its a little pricey but i think it does the job for me. its better to apply this with your fingers so it blends better with your skin... i will definately repurchase this product.

At first when I tried this product it made my skin look orange. They say to apply it with your fingers but I find if you apply it to the back of your hand and then put it on with a brush it works so much better. It doesn't make my skin look orange anymore because it blends it out soooo much better. The coverage was medium, I have really red cheeks and it doesn't irritate them but it does cover some of the redness. Overall I liked this product.

I'm not a big fan of almay's foundations, but I decided to try this because it's 97% natural, and there was a bogo going on at my Walgreens.

I wasn't really impressed.

1. Smell / Feel - Fragrance free, and the feeling was very liquidy... even more liquidy than my TM! I can't say I liked it because the coverage was VERY light. Again, my TM gives me more coverage. =/ It is blendable and easy to put on though.

2. Price - This retails for about $13.99 ... which is too expensive for very little coverage. =/ My Revlon Colorstay is one dollar less, and it's awesome.

3. Packaging - The packaging is cute and portable! I really like it and it looks fresh ^_^

4. Availability - I think this is moderately new, so they might not have it EVERYWHERE yet, but I'm sure they sell it at most drug stores... I bought mine at Walgreens.

Overall, I wouldn't repurchase... If you're looking for a light coverage, maybe this is for you, but not for me.

I wasn't a fan of this, despite me loving the trans matte and shimmer powders. This was far too greasy for my oily skin when I put it on. I got this in Buff, but it was still too pink for me. It gave almost no coverage and just felt gross on my skin. I like trying more natural products, but this was a no go.
