Don't think this is available

I've tried to find this again and cannot. Sad really as it was pretty damn good. Created an awesome complexion and had just the right emount of coverage.

Please bring this back!!

This was the most handy foundation I have ever had. Great coverage also. So easy to use, no mess and take it wherever you go. I was so gutted when I went to buy more and was told it was discontinued:( so what did I do? I purchased a bottle of MAC foundation with a syringe dropper ( much more expensive!!) and kept the loreal container and simply refilled it. Works great but I would still rather be able to buy the loreal one, worked just as well as the MAC and less than half the price!

Tips: Refil the container with foundation of your choice. Much easier to use than brush.

Perfect for on-the-go

Best light to buildable medium coverage foundation I found. The product didn't sink into my smile lines as bad as other foundations I have used in the past. I am normal skin with dry patches occasionally. Would recommend to any girl on the go.

Only downside it that you do get less product than a normal 30ml foundation but for ease on-the-go, its a pretty good compromise. I would have bought many back-ups if I knew it wasn't readily available to obtain in NZ anymore.

Tips: Flip the sponge with tweezers if you find any cushion foundation appears to be drying up.

Perfect summertime glow foundation

While i would never wear this if im going to a club, wanting my makeup to last 12 hours or when im going full cake face, i do LOVE the finish, the look and the glow you get from this foundation when your popping out for a couple of hours and dont want to look completely homeless. Or want to look fresh and glowy, without being greasy. With my skin type generally being oily to combination i was a little nervous to wear but i found it fine, my face didnt look greasy but has a lovely glow. This foundation isnt one for major coverage or to last throughout the day but i quite like that about it, it blends so well with my skin i dont mind if i touch my face because i know its not really going to matter if any comes off. And i love that it shows my freckles! A shame about the fact that its in a weird little compact with a cushion for application but yet i still find myself using it so cant be that bad..

Good mid range foundation

It sits well on your skin, is more of a lighter coverage product. I found that it gave my skin a nice glow, without being greasy. Its light and feels nice.

Tips: Might be a summer product rather than winter.

Such a lovely natural finish foundation

I picked this up in the lightest shade (since I'm of the ghostly pale variety) which is the shade 01. This shade currently works very well for me, although I am slightly darker than I usually am this time of year (about a Nars Sheer glow mont blanc for comparison). This is quite a neutral tone, not too yellow or too pink so quite universally flattering I think.

Cushion foundations are all the rage over in Korea, so it is fantastic that a Western brand is recognising how awesome they are, and jumping right on that bandwagon. If you have tried Korean cushion foundations before you may find that this is similar but perhaps not quite as good at correcting redness and providing coverage (at least in my experience). This is light to medium in its coverage, and as the name suggests is very light and dewy and fresh looking on the skin. I use this whenever im feeling a little old and tired- I feel like it turns back the clock just that little bit!

I have had my compact for a couple months and am noticing that it is starting to dry up- a bit of a peril with this type of foundation.

I really enjoy this foundation but it is most definately one I reach for on my good skin days as it doesnt provide any coverage on acne, although it can provide a little correction over acne scars. Would probably repurchase

Tips: These cushion foundations dry up quick so I suggest committing to only using this foundation as soon as you open it in order to get the most bang for your buck (ie use it daily rather than switching it up with other foundations). Blemish free complexions this one is for you!

The Pros and the Cons

I was very, very excited to try this, as my search for the ideal foundation for my skin continues to be long and arduous (but hey, I get to try cool new make up along the way, as whenever I buy a new foundation, I inevitably buy other stuff, usually aiming to get it as part of a kit or with a freebie gift....so can't complain!). I'd heard good things about this one, and it sounded ideal for my skin - I'm heading into the late 30s and find that many foundations sadly settle into my lines, emphasising them, which I do not want!! Even when I use a really good primer (Becca at the moment) I still notice a settling into the lines, sigh.

I have "normal" skin, as in not too dry and not too oily, but it can be picky about what products it likes (as in bad reactions to some). I've had photofacials, so the pigmentation is a bit less obvious these days, so tend to go for light to medium coverage (and foundation tone!).

What I love about this foundation: the compact is really cute and handy to carry with me during the work day if I want a touch up. The foundation is super easy to apply (just the dab the sponge in the cushion and away we go) and build coverage with. The colour/tone seems to match reasonably well, and basically I can sponge it over my face in less than a minute and voila. It blends nicely, and Idon't have to spend ages with the blending sponge. Bronzer and highligher are easy to apply over it, and it last through the day just fine, with a decent primer underneath.

What I don't love: I'm not so keen on the wee sponge - it is a bit awkward with the small ribbon on the back to hold it, so I use my own brush or sponge. Even with a very rich serum, then CC cream, then lovely Becca highlighter underneath, this foundation seems to make my skin look quite dry by the end of the day. This is a mystery to me, as others have complained of the opposite - that they don't like the oiliness. And the texture of it just doesn't seem to lend itself to drying, but I can't put it down to anything else. When I reverted back to my other assembly of concealer and chubby stick foundation i didn't suffer the same problem at all. This also seems a tad pricey for what is not a lot of foundation - it doesn't seem to last along time like other foundations I've bought in a similar price range. While it does state clearly that this is light to medium coverage, if you are needing to build it up (and even I do, and I don't where heavy coverage) then it's going to last even less of a long time. Finally, it sadly does seem to settle in and emphasise my lines - the drying effect likely doesn't help with this. So overall, it wasn't the last great hope I had, but that's okay, I will keep searching. It still has its pluses and is obviously a great fit for other people out there. It's probably a lot better on younger skin!

Nice light foundation

Was approached by a young girl in Farmers to try and I normally say no, but for some reason decided to try it. Like the product, the colour and the light feel of it on my face. Was on special so even better. Would definitely purchase again

Tips: Was told to make sure we close it up properly after use, assume so it doesn't dry out

A bit to glowy for my oily skin

Really love the coverage and easy to use. However the finish wasn't perfect for my oily skin and I found that I appeared oily quite early in the day. I think this would work great on someone with less oily skin.

Tips: I applied with a beauty blender and just used the sponge it comes with for touch ups during the day.
