The Body Shop's "oil free balancing foundation spf 15" (budget friendly!)

my foundation tester from the body shop! in the color 09

First let me inform you, that in December's "Cosmopolitan" magazine (out now!) The body shop are giving away a card which has anything from £3-£100 to spend in store...so, if I were you I would go and get this magazine now!

Right with that being said, I went to the body shop a few weeks ago looking for something to buy, I didn't even realise they did foundation, and was shocked to see that they did foundation for darker skin tones!

When the sales assistant asked me if i would like to try some foundation, I must admit, I looked at her like she was crazy! ( even though she was a black woman) and then said "what, for me?"  and then proceeded to bombard the sales assistant (poor woman! LOL!) with questions like " is your foundation from here?!" "are you telling the truth?"  "are you  trying to sell me this foundation when your really wearing M.A.C" lol!. I had foundation on already that day so I asked for a tester..


The next day when I tried this foundation, I was in shock and dis-belief, as I said in the "foundation blog" I have been wearing mac foundation for years, but this one is ahh-ma-zing! and for £13 for 30ml this is more then worth it!

Verdict

I really like this foundation, and I will be buying it again, for me this color "09" is perfect. I applied this at 9am and at 11pm it still looked fresh, I didn't want to take it off!

PRO's
  • value for money! £13 for 30ml
  • great coverage
  • oil free (so should be good for oily skin types)
  • has SPF 15
  • semi matte finish
CON's
  • if you do not like a matte finish ( semi matte) foundation this is not the one for you
  • that's all
You can look directly on the website www.thebodyshop.co.uk but I would advise you to go in to your local store and ask for a tester!

I am well impressed with "the body shop"
