Advantages: Perfect for combination and normal skin.

Disadvantages: Takes a little work with Oily or Dry skin.

When this first came out, i was particularly attracted to it by its realiable brand, stylish design and most of all; the mousse texture.
THE PRICE;
Lets face it; most -good- foundations these days are quite expensive ranging from;£5 to over £25, so when i saw in superdrug that this was only £6.84 i was quite realeaved that it wasn't over priced, like most foundations.

APPEARANCE;
The foundation came in a fairly small tub around the size of two vasaline tubs on top of each other. The amount of uses can be absolutely anything depending on how much you like to put on. As most foundations come in a tube in which you have to squeeze out the foundation (alot gets left in the tube) i thought that the tub was a great idea as you get every single inch of foundation thats in there. The style of the tub overall i think was very cool and very handy.
EFFECTS OF DRY SKIN;
If you have dry skin this can highlight the sections of skin in which dry patches have occured. I would suggest using a moisturiser before applying the foundation otherwise you will end up being patchy in colour (the dry patches tend to be a little orange in colour).
EFFECTS OF OILY SKIN;
I think if you have oily skin then this foundation can also highlight the effects of oily skin and possibly make you shine. I would simply suggest you use a small amount of the foundation with a foundation brush. This will help prevent the look of shine, uneven application and also what i like to call 'plastic effect' where you put way too much on. You may also like to use a light powder over the foundation to create a more natural effect and alot less oily.
EFFECTS OF COMBINATION OR NORMAL SKIN;
I think this foundation by itself is perfect for Combination or normal skin. IT doesn't look shiny or create dry patches and really creates a chiq finish. If sections of your face may be a little oily or dry then just use a little moisturiser for the dry patches or a little powder for the oily patches.

OVERALL APPEARANCE AND USE.
This foundation can be perfected on pretty much any skin although sometimes it can take a little work. Combination and Normal skin are pretty much the best ones to use this foundation but if you have oily/dry skin, this foundation can STILL WORK for you too aslong as you use the right amount and a powder/moisturiser. I love the tub, great design and overall use.

Summary: A pretty good foundation and magnificent tub!
