Due to the sunshine in the summer months, my skin goes up to two shades darker, so whilst looking for a new darker foundation, i came across Boots No.7 Intelligent Balance Mousse Foundation.

I'd read some really good reviews about this foundation, claiming it gave a matt but dewy finish and very good coverage. I was slightly worried about buying this however as i have quite dry skin and as it is a mousse i thought it may cling to it. But i listened to the reviews and brought it anyway.

So after purchasing it off ebay for a good price, i took it home and applied it to my newly tanned face :)

The foundation comes in quite a large round pot with a little spatula. Useless for actually applying the foundation, but if you have long nails like me, it is fantastic as i HATE getting foundation stuck underneath them!

I applied it, and took a good look at my face. Hmmmm, the coverage was...pretty good actually, i found it turned to powder and gave a soft finish. However, there was no dewy-ness at all, which i look for in a foundation. It did not cling to my dry patches - a good thing, but i found it left my complexion looking quite dull which made me doubt the coverage.

After applying some of my highlighter with it, it did look alot better, but i found after a few hours, quite a bit of the foundation had rubbed off my face which was disappointing.

I will not purchase it again, but thats not to say its terrible. I would give it a try yourself :)

A definite 3 stars.
