Expensive but worth it!

I bought this after really liking the Vitalumiere Aqua Foundation; while I still prefer that formula, this foundation is pretty awesome in of itself. I have combination/normal skin for the record.

PROS: - it's long lasting - it has a wide range of coverage; if you use a foundation brush, it's a light to medium coverage and if you use the sponge that comes with it, it becomes more of a medium to full coverage. - the formula is really buildable to your liking (as touched on in my last point). - the case it comes in is so pretty and quite sturdy. the provided mirror is a pretty decent size for a compact, so that's nice. - SPF! need I say more? - it's water based foundation and is really nice because it doesn't cause breakouts. yay!

CONS: - the lid to keep the product fresh inside the compact is a bit tricky to close because I can never tell if it's really shut or not. you have to push pretty hard down on it and hope for the best because it doesn't make a snapping noise. - it is weak as a base foundation. I like to use it for touch ups on top of the Vitalumiere Aqua Foundation throughout the day; it works really well for this purpose. - you definitely have to go to a counter to be matched; if you have the VA foundation though, the shades are consistent. - the price is a bit much.

Overall, this does have a place in my routine and I would certainly buy it again. It makes my skin look clear and dewy plus it covers up blemishes and dark circles well.
