I am a great fan of no 7 products as I think they offer great value for money. I first tried no 7 intelligent foundation a few years ago when it first arrived on the shelf in my local Boots. I have never used any other foundation since.
The Product
***********
Boots intelligent foundation is part of the no 7 range of make up and skin care sold exclusively by Boots. It is packaged in a stylish black box with gold writing that gives it an expensive feel. The tube of foundation contained within comes in a black plastic tube with a twist of lid.
Unlike other foundations this one only comes in 3 shades, light, medium and dark. You will need to try some on your hand to see which one will suit your skin colour. I was surprised to find I needed the light shade although I consider myself to have quite a dark skin. Now for the intelligent bit, although there are only 3 shades available this foundation claims that these 3 shades are in fact the equivalent to 9 or more shades. The idea is that the foundation will adapt to your skin tone. This foundation also contains vitamin A and E, which helps to protect and condition your skin; it has an SPF of 6, which won’t offer you much protection in the summer so you will need to apply another sunblock. Boots claim that this foundation will not block your pores.
This foundation is not tested on animals and is hypo-allergenic and fragrance free. For 40 ml you will pay£12.50 at present in Boots, which is the only place it is available. At the moment it is on a 3 for 2 offer and if you spend £15 on no 7 you will receive 500 points on your boots card, which is worth £5.
The verdict
***********
I love this foundation and would recommend it without hesitation. It is really easy to apply and has a lovely silky feeling. I was very sceptical about the claims of colour matching to your skin but it really does work! This foundation is very light but seems to give my skin a healthy glow. This product was the winner of new woman best new cosmetic award and I can see why! Give it a try and I bet you won’t be disappointed.
