Advantages: Cheap, Nice design, Comes with a sponge

Disadvantages: Not very durable, Comes out slightly orange

I have seen alot of bad reviews for this product, but to be quite honest i was not dissappointed in this product (nor was i pleased..). It's not a good foundation as such, but i use it as a powder just to put on top. Some people have said it comes out orange? i do have to agree with that as it is slightly orange on application. But as it's not the best product it quickly fades. It doesn't last the whole day so i do find that i am constantly finding that i have to top up on some days.

It is quite cheap at just over £5 if i remember correctly but compared to other products of the 17 range it is slightly more dearer. But a couple of pounds isn't going to make a difference. I do think it is worth what i payed for as it wasn't exactly expensive. If it wears off, i do find that my face goes oily thanks to this product, which means i need to apply more which then leads to orange foundation. When I have used the majority of the pot, I did find that it started to stick together and i found it very hard to get onto the sponge. Plus alot of it did get stuck on the sponge meaning alot of it would be used on just one application.

If you are looking to buy this, I would recommend having a mousse foundation or concealer underneath it, then just to use this as a top powder. Don't put too much on as it will go orange and it probably won't last all day so you may need to take it around in your handbag if you looking for a top up.

Summary: A cheap foundation that is good for a top powder.
