    I love the lovely bottle of this foundation. It looks great on my boudior (sp?) but unfortunetly the contents inside weren't very impressive. I was looking for something to replace my MAC Select in...

    I bought this in O20. This is a nicely scented foundation that gives a very natural coverage. It has SPF!! This doesn't make your face look cakey either. My only peeve is that it doesn't last...

    After trying three samples from a generous SA,(I00, O10, B20) I settled on I00. I don't care for the bottle--this seems fluid enough for a pump or tube. The texture is good but it doesn't seem to...

    Normally I prefer pressed powder foundations like GloMinerals--but if I had to choose a liquid foundation to wear, it would be this one. It is about a moderate/sheer coverage that is buildable, has...

    I got this in I20. The coverage is light. It doesn't cover my acne scars or my large pores. It looks sallow and cakey. It makes me look older because it accentuates lines that I didn't know I had....

    PROS: Light Gives very healthy look to your face SPF Small amount needed for whole face CONS: Packaging - why not with pump or in tube??? Doesn't mattify at all Price

    I got this as a sample (since I DEFINITELY can't afford it). It goes on very smoothly and evens out my Asian (with yellow undertones) skin. It is semi-matte on me, and it lasts for about 6 hours or...

    A semi matte foundation with good color choices (I use I40 which is a tad pink but can get away with blending). Minuses are the bottle - would make a hell of a difference if they added a pump for...
