This baby has been on my wishlist for ages and it probably wouldn't have come into my collection hadn't my sister treated me to it, so I guess this post is sponsored by her. I was very curious to find out if this foundation was worth the hype, and if you continue reading, you'll see what my opinion on it is.
First of all, I think that the colour is a pretty good match. Unlike most of my previous foundations, it isn't too pink yet it is still fair and matches my skin colour. I feel like my face has a pink undertone, but my body has more of a yellow one (if that is even possible), so this time I decided to go for something that will match my neck better. I think it's safe to say I didn't regret it.
I'd heard amazing things about this foundation, it's longevity and great coverage so I needed to put it to a test. The formula is a little thick, but it is not difficult to blend at all. I apply it with the help of a beauty blender (a knockoff ofc) and it works like a dream. If some days one layer isn't enough to cover my redness and acne scars, I'll just apply some more onto those problematic areas. I am very pleased to say that it doesn't go cakey when you layer it. Also, I feel like for an every day makeup, you could get away with not wearing concealer. I've got pretty prominent and persistent under-eye bags, but they don't look too bad underneath this foundation. So, the coverage is definitely my cup of tea.
As for the lasting power, I think it's actually pretty amazing. You know when you come home after a night out, look at yourself in the mirror and can't believe that's what your face actually looked like in public? Well, let me tell you: with this foundation I haven't thought that once. Quite on the contrary: I get home, see myself in the mirror and don't want to take my makeup off because I still look so good. After a 7 hour day I did notice that my nose area got a little oily, but it was nothing to write home about. It was very mild oiliness considering that my skin tends to get quite oily, and some powder would've fixed it right away. I have to say, I was (and still am) impressed.

I would definitely recommend this foundation to anyone who likes medium to high coverage and who needs their foundation to stay in place all day/night long. I think it's worth the hype for sure and I'm very very glad that I finally own this gem.
