| Ulta $34 |
About a month or so ago, I purchased the Benefit "Hello Flawless" foundation from Ulta. I was on a mission for something new and more affordable than my more expensive old standby Chanel Mat Lumiere. I did my usual research online and based on some of the things I had heard, I decided to try the Benefit foundation. I wanted a foundation for oily skin that would give me medium to full coverage with a natural finish. When I first used it, I noticed that it had a rather watery texture, which concerned me immediately because as I said earlier I was looking for medium to full coverage. Upon application my skin appeared "dewy" which again concerned me because I have oily skin. I powdered my skin as I always do with my MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural and set off to work. By NOON, my skin was feeling quite greasy. I had to use blotting paper to deal with the oil on my skin before I could re-powder.
Being the type of person who HATES to admit defeat, I continued to try the product for a week thinking that MAYBE my skin just needed to adjust. Alas, the grease pits continued and I surrendered to the fact that this foundation was just NOT FOR ME. So disappointed was I that when I returned it to Ulta (for a full refund), I didn't even want to try the powder version that the clerk recommended. I decided I would try something else and left with my $34 plus tax.
If you have oily skin and are looking for a medium to full coverage foundation, this is NOT FOR YOU. Based on the quality, texture and claims on the packaging I would rate this a 2/5.
