The Body Shop Flawless Skin Protecting Foundation

INTRODUCTION The morning before a night out, which I had been looking forward to for so long I woke up with a spot the size of mount Everest on the end of my nose. I headed straight to my make-up to try to find something that would cover the monstrosity. As foundation or consealer is something I rarely wear my old faithful make-up bag failed to help on this occasion, so I grabbed my bag and headed for the local body shop to find something suitable.

I've been a fan of Body shop products for many years now, so always find myself trying out theie new ranges when they are released. My only problem with buying foundations and concealers is that I am very pale skinned so many brands of make up just don't cater for my skin tone.
