Advantages: It comes with a mirror so you could apply it on the go.

Disadvantages: The product has an oily consistency and it makes you look like you've caked the makeup on.

I tried this product once and I will never purchase it again!

On the surface it looks like this product has potential, the packaging is effective - it comes with a mirror and a sponge to help with application and the foundation itself is very smooth and feels like it would apply well.

However my high hopes were shattered, the consistency of the foundation is far too oily and you can't create a light coverage with the enclosed sponge, I ended up looking like an orange Upalumpa - a look I wasn't looking to achieve!  I found that the results were marginally better when I applied the foundation with a makeup brush, but still, I wasn't impressed.

I also think this product is overpriced; you don't get a lot of foundation for your money.

If you like to wear a thick layer of makeup then you might like this product, but if you like the "natural effect," or you'd like to choose how intense your makeup is depending on the occasion, then I'd stay away. Overall it's a big thumbs down from me.

Summary: Stay away, the Body Shop's "all in one face base" is much better!
