Works for me Wednesday - Great foundation!

So in case you don't know a lot about me - I turned 40 this summer and I have rosesca, which is a skin condition. Anyhoo.....

The reason for this post is that I have a really hard time finding makeup that a) doesn't cause flareups, b) actually covers the flareups I already have, and c) doesn't cost an arm and a leg to purchase.

So when I find one that fits the bill, I like to tell others about it - I love Ultra Smooth Foundation by The Body Shop - it is almost mousse-like in consistency and really does provide a nice medium coverage without feeling heavy. It a liquid-to-powder foundation - it has a matte finish (if you have dry skin like I do, you need a decent amount of moisturizer on first so that you don't look chalky).

It only takes a little - like a dime-sized amount and I use my fingers to smooth it on - it is very soft and not at all greasy.

In Canada it cost about $21 - but one word of warning to anyone who does buy some - its' packaging isn't the greatest - the container is not very squeezable - when you think you can get no more out of it - cut it open and you will be amazed to see the amount still in the tube - at least another dozen applications - imagine if I had just thrown that out?

So anyway, even with the less than great packaging, I do recommend this product - I mostly use it in the summer when I want lightweight coverage - I use a bit heavier product in the winter.

It Works For Me!
