Summary : 4.7 / 6

I am really surprised how much I liked this foundation because I was expecting something completely different. Many people compare it to Estee Lauder Double Wear, which in my opinion is completely wrong, the only thing they have in common is a nice coverage because otherwise the formulas are completely different and it closer to Lancome Teint Idole Ultra. Applying a thin layer looks just perfect and I like to reach for it a lot. The only thing that makes me odd is the price, because without promotion £14.50 it's really a lot for a drugstore product, but I think that Bourjois has recently increased their prices. This is probably their first truly foundation that is more suitable for combination / oily skin.

Do you know this foundation?

Have you also noticed that the foundations of some drugstore brands are starting to become super expensive?
