Rather starve that use this: L'oreal Infallible Foundation

Before I even start to review this product all I am gonna say is that those with dry skin  might love this. Enough said. When I wear this I can be the fry bake specialist. What do I mean by that? Well you can fry bake on my face after half hour because it greasy and oily. Sigh. And I love the shade though. :(


Description




Infallible makeup is L'Oréal Paris's first foundation that fights the signs of make-up melt down and last up to 16 hours.





Packaging

Glass bottle packaging. It is only until recently the whole glass bottle vibe start to connect with me. I was never a glass bottle fan but now I find them sleek and sophisticated so it works. The packaging is gorgeous. 

The pump kind of sucks. In fact mine has stopped working altogether. It has clogged so I can't even use it anymore. Bummer.



Product
To be honest I feel disgusted when I have this on. Only in the last few weeks of using it did I not wanna scrape my face off. It gives medium coverage when applied (A little goes a long way) but after 1 hr for the most I turn into Madam Greasy of the House of Shiny and Oil slick. I look a hot orange mess. You heard me right. The first few tries I looked like I forgot I was dark skinned and decided I wanted a tan. I could have been an extra in a Willy Wonka movie. I looked really bad. It has this I am wearing foundation look and feel. Eventually I started wearing it only at nigh events. Like dinner parties, fetes stuff like that. One day I wore it to school and spent the whole day embarrassed.  I looked cakey, orange and super shinny. If it wasn't for my Milk of Magnesia or my L'oreal magic perfecting base I would never use this product again. I started using it again only so I could throw it away when the 7 months to 1 year deadline reached and I wouldn't have wasted the product. Last few weeks it grew on me. The makeup tears up and you could see my blemishes and I look like an oil spill. The thing is I love the shade even though it started off being too dark for me but I love how the shade looks. 

Price

79 dollars at Pennywise Tunapuna. I say this because the other day a Facebook guru told me about a product she bought at PW and when I went at the Trincity Mall branch I got it for more than 10 dollars cheaper. So I don't know what is up with that. lol.

Overall rating: D

It was bought for a wedding so I just bought the first thing to match my skin. PW was packed with people and I needed a foundation stat.
