I picked this up when it was on sale at Shoppers, in their clearance aisle (it was $4.99, and came with a little stick concealer. This is $19.99 regular price, and usually somewhere around $16.99 on sale, so what a steal!). I somehow/miraculously chose the perfect color for myself, despite never having bought drugstore foundation before, and I am relatively pleased with the results. Like what a lot of others have said, the glitters are kind of what get me on this foundation. I don't normally wear anything on my skin foundation-wise so I found that the sparkles were really prominent. But, it does add an overall glow and dewiness which makes it look a bit more natural, and it also negates the necessity for a highlighter. It feels nice on my skin, and not too heavy. It has a pretty good coverage to it, but it doesn't wear quite as long as I'd like. This might be because it could use a powder over top of it (though, considering the coverage, a powder might make it look a bit cakey), but I did find that it got a little splotchy after extended wear. Overall, though, I found it to be great value and nice for photos. It's not great for extended wear, and looks slightly better on camera than it does in person (the sparkles just look like healthy skin, rather than... sparkles), but a welcome addition to my makeup stash!    -
