Any reviews please? I very rarely wear even BB cream so I don't want to invest too much in foundation but this seems to tick my boxes. Thanks Brew

Not tried it personally but Lisa Eldridge recommends this as a good foundation on one of her videos. It's not meant to be that great if you have oily skin though. I've put it on my list of things to buy Smile

I love the healthy mix serum, it's quite yellowish which suits me but only gives medium coverage.

TallulahBetty · 10/08/2014 13:59

Thanks both, I've got boots vouchers so think I will invest Smile

I've been recommending this foundation to anyone who will listen. It's lovely and light, moisturising without being claggy and a good price, too.

I use it, it's fantastic!

It's brilliant. I'm pale but freckly so most shades wash me out or Tango me. This doesn't. Have oily skin but this doesn't sit in pores and works well with Mac matifying lotion or colourless Mac blotting powder.

It's really nice and a bit dewey looking so good for dry, dull skin.

beachywaves · 10/08/2014 19:20

I thought I had found the perfect foundation with this - it covered all my redness and dark circles, lasted all day, didn't go shiny, blended really well. However, it brought me out in spots around my chin, so is now in the basket along with all the others. If you haven't got sensitive/reactive skin, it's worth a try.

TallulahBetty · 10/08/2014 19:26

Wow thanks for the positive feedback all, deffo going to treat myself. No sensitive skin Smile

I really like it BUT I like their cc cream even more.

ThisBitchIsResting · 10/08/2014 20:46

I love the serum one, it's the only foundation I have repeatedly bought. Dewy and light, good for pale skins.

golfergirl28 · 10/08/2014 21:27

Does it have an SPF?

ThisBitchIsResting · 10/08/2014 21:36

No. I use Soap and Glory bb cream underneath, 'feel good factor', it's SPF 25 and a lovely light day moisturiser that primes well. It's translucent so doesn't add colour, not sure why it's called a bb cream tbh.

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 10/08/2014 21:58

I really wanted to like it after all the good reviews on here but I thought it was dreadful stuff! I guess it's just whatever suits your skin.

I haven't used the foundation one for a while, but it was good for my skin type (oily, dehydrated).
It looks nice on the skin, lasts well on the skin and doesn't seem to oxidise (get darker/orange). It does contain a lot of silicone which some people tend to react to, but I haven't had issues with that.

I haven't tried the serum one. It's supposed to be good for dry skin.

Pixiwoo (I think) compared one of them to a Chanel foundation - I don't remember which one though.
