I was in my local Bed, Bath and Beyond yesterday and spotted a bunch of new products, including L'Oreal's Magic Nude Liquid Powder Foundations, selling for $10.49.
Packaged in glass bottles with no pump (just pour into your hand), these intrigued me once I looked at the ingredients. Since I have dry skin, anything that says, "powder" tends to turn me off, but this is a silicone/oil based formula made without water, which makes me think that it could possibly be a dupe for Armani's Maestro foundation!
I'll post a full review in the next day or so with photos and ingredients, but just to give you a little preview, I'll tell you my experience using it today...
The formula is very thin and light, and since there is no pump on the bottle, I just poured a little into my hand. The label says to use your fingers, rather than a sponge or a brush, so that's what I did. It also says to shake it well before use.
So far, I am in love with this stuff! It melts into the skin in a super-thin, almost undetectable layer (sort of like a light oil would), yet it covers imperfections and makes skin look airbrushed! It also did not sink into lines and wrinkles at all which was something I was concerned about due to the word "powder" in the name. It dries to a satin finish- I wouldn't say it's completely matte/flat.
This is unlike anything I've used before, and I can't wait to keep playing with it!
I'll keep you guys posted. Sorry I've been bad about updating lately, but at 9 mos. pregnant, things have been a little crazy. :)
