Advantages: great price, covers well
Disadvantages: could be expensive in some stores
I actually bought this because it was a real bargain from my local TJ Hughes. Anybody with one of those stores nearby, you must rush off and inspect the prices. they are really a lot cheaper than most stores i.e Boots. (Sorry Boots, I know you are having a hard time, but you really should cut your prices). I was looking for a foundation which was a brand name but at a reasonable cost, I came across Oil of Olay foundation, well actually this one was called Oil of Ulay still. That's probably why it was so cheap, it was probably years out of date. Well I paid my £2.99, gosh you might say what a bargain. It normally costs about £7 to £8 elsewhere. I decided on the colour Gentle Beige, I only have very pale skin even when I've been abroad. Some foundations make my skin look shiney , so I decided it could be my skin that was shining not the other way round. This foundation contains fine oil absorbing powders which takes away some of the shine. I don't have oily skin often , but sometimes after applying make-up it looks as though I have. This really helps to combat the "Oily skin look" and creates a Matt look. It is also for combination skin, and even though I seem to be contradicting myself, I also have sensitive skin around my nose. It evened my skin out perfect and I will be buying it again. The size is a 35ml and you don't need to use much, it gives great coverage with just a small amount. I applied it at 7.00 am and it was still looking ok by 7.00pm.

- 05/06/01 Very good op. This sounds good make-up. I like the Olay range. I've not found a foundation yet to really suit my skin colour though as I have a slight liver problem and occasionally go a bit yellow! |

- 04/06/01 Don't know much about make-up but this was a good op. Does it irritate the skin at all? I might get my gf some if she's nice to me :) Steve |
