Advantages: it looks cute and does the job

Disadvantages: not that great coverage

I recently purchased this in Classic Ivory and believe it or not, this shade suits my face better than the Classic Ivory in Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse (which is incredibly drying on me)
It's not the best foundation in the world, but is doesn't aggravate pimples or sensitive skin.

I'm on the fence about this foundation. I occasionally use mineral powder foundations, but because I like full coverage, I tend to use a lot more than the directions recommend (and for some mineral foundations, that's fine). With this one, however, the design of the container makes it impossible to dispense very much at a time, which is a big drawback for me. On the other hand, I do notice my skin is less oily on some days when I use this, which is good. Unlike other reviewers, my experience with the color has been pretty reasonable.

The only bad thing is that I do have to use quite a bit of concealer under this, because the coverage is just not adequate for much.

Summary: it's alright if you don't need much coverage
