I've used this several times last December during parties and other occasions. I can't say it's really bad, its just so so. It was cheap, so I got what it's worth.
What I like about it...
* inexpensive
* light coverage
* mild scent
* no irritation or allergies
* does not make my face look cakey
What I don't like...
* it did not dry fast, I had to wait about a minute
* even though it's water based, it doesn't blend well
* I chose the wrong shade (since I bought it online). It's lighter - looks like a liquid concealer, and this has more pinkish undertone to it. Since it's so light, almost non-existent, I still can make it work.
* Although it's in a glass bottle, I hate the top cap. The hole is just too big.
It spilled twice when I was using it. Squeeze type tubes or pumps are better.
My Rating: 2 / 5
TIPS:
If you chose a lighter shade of foundation, you can make it work by applying a darker shade of powder closest to your skin tone.
Another way to make it work, is to mix your liquid foundation with another liquid foundation that has a darker shade. Add the second foundation in little amounts until you get the shade you want.
I will probably just finish this bottle so that it won't go to waste. I definitely won't recommend this to anyone. However, for younger ladies or teens, this might work since it has a very light coverage. I have read from other reviews that they had breakouts when they tried this product, so be careful.
Have a nice day everyone!
Cheerios!

I dunno how many times I've watched this foundation on eBay but could never bring myself to buy it. Glad I didn't. Thanks for the review. :)chogi
ReplyDelete@Pammy, my pleasure. It also took me a while before I decided to buy this product. I had a gutt feeling it wasn't worth it. I hated myself for buying this...lol
ReplyDeleteI have this in oil control and its actually not that bad.. But its not so good either. I agree with you when it comes to the drying part.. It takes time for it to dry. I use this with my foundation brush, but since it dries really slow, i think a stippling brush will work better on applying this foundie. This routine I have yet to try :)
ReplyDelete@Janica, I really wanted to buy the one in oil control, but the shades available were lighter. I read a review from another blog before, about the oil control, it's actually not bad. Maybe the quality varies for different Formulation. However, it's a lesson learned. Never buy foundation online unless it's a repurchase...hehehe
ReplyDeleteWOW!!! such a cheap ebay find? ba siya? parang katakot why its so cheap... anyway, pls suggest your ebay makeup sellers. :D
ReplyDelete@kumi, I bought a lot of products from this ebay.ph seller.

hindi naman katakot, her cosmetic prices are really very cheap compared to other ebay.ph sellers. The products I bought from her were really authentic and sealed! She's a power seller as well. Her husband is a foreigner so maybe most of her items are hand carried and not shipped - I think that's the reason why it's cheap, since she doesn't have shipment costs.
Leave me a comment and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. ^_^
