    I like this foundation. It's very light, so it's perfect for those days when I don't want to look like I'm wearing a lot of make up. It does seem to help a bit with the oily skin, but I still have...

    Edited 6/11: I ended up throwing this out and I only used maybe 1/5 of it. Something in it is sort of like the consistency of "Some Kinda Gorgeous" by Benefit -- leaves a weird, candle-wax type...

    I wanted to like this product SO much. It goes on so well, it does match my skin tone, and it's a light/medium coverage that looks natural and even slightly dewy. However, after not much time at...

    I have worn SPF for years and this is the first one that burnt me. I'm very disappointed as I really like the coverage and skin balancing.
