This has a pretty standard price as far as drugstore foundations go. I paid about 10$ for it. I like that it comes in a squeeze tube instead of a jar like the Dream Matte Mousse for sanitary reasons. The color selection isn't amazing if you have darker skin. I use shade 92 Caramel, and there's only one shade deeper. The consistency definitely is thicker than your average foundation, but this isn't a liquid formula. It has a thick, whipped consistency. It takes me 2 layers to get the desired coverage, and I don't have a lot to cover. Just a spot here and there and some redness around my nose. It has a nice satin finish, but it doesn't set down completely, so you will need to powder it. Lasting time on my skin, which is combination/oily, is about 6-7 hours before it starts to break down around my nose from the oils.    -
