Advantages: Hides dark cirlces and other signs of tiredness

Disadvantages: Can't see how much foundation is left

The average amount of sleep I get is about six hours, sometimes less, but never more. Since I am always sleep deprived I have to purchase make-up that: Makes my skin look radiant, hides the signs of fatigue by concealing dark circles and gives the illusion I have had a good nights sleep.
Finding a foundation that does all this, hasn't always been easy until I discovered the 10 hour sleep effect by Bourjois.


I have several foundations in my make-up bag, one I love the most is Chanel Teint innocence, but I do like to buy different foundations now and again to give my skin a change. When I first heard about the "10 hour sleep effect" I was pretty excited to try it out as it seemed to be a product right for me due to my terrible sleeping habits.
The 10 hour sleeping effect has a high concentration of Vitamins E, F and B5 which noticeably helped to revitalise skin and refresh my complexion.
Vitamin E is something you should look out for in a foundation because it leaves your skin feeling really smooth and soft.

The foundation comes in a pretty cylindrical container with a pump dispenser, and transparent lid. A major flaw with this packaging is although it looks good, I would prefer it to be in a transparent bottle so I am aware of how much I have left so I know when to go out and buy more.

The foundation has a great coverage, and leaves my skin looking really fresh just like what the manufacturer claims. I was really impressed with the foundation as I usually use foundations that cost £30 ($49) so I was really satisfied with the results of this product as it was only £8.80 ($15) but still worked just as well as my foundations that cost triple the amount.
I don't always use this foundation because I really love the Chanel foundation because the shade I am currently using is perfect for my skin tone, however, I do use this often especially on bad days when my skin looks really dull and needs revitalising.
I would recommend this foundation to anyone, not just those who struggle to have a good amount of sleep, and it would work well with any skin type, as it's a very friendly lightweight foundation with a great coverage that doesn't look cakey.

The only flaw I can see with this product is the fact it is not visible to see how much foundation is left, but to be honest most foundations that do have transparent bottles still can be a difficult task to find out how much is left in the bottle because the foundation sticks to the side of the bottle.
Great product at a very low price.

Summary: Good product, great price!
