Essence soft touch mousse foundation

Let me take your hand and take you back to 15-year-old me. Trying to find the perfect foundation, on a budget that is. It’s funny I loved this one so much when I was young and when I bumped into it. I couldn’t leave it. I needed to know, did I remembered correctly and was a good budget-proof product.

My BIAS
I loved it as a young girl, so happy memories. Also, it is a very inexpensive drugstore brand.

What does the brand say about this product?
the make-up range with a super delicate mousse texture gives your face a smooth and natural-looking matt complexion while allowing your skin to breathe freely. The foundation comes in 6 shades which isn’t a lot and I think this needs to be changed.

Ingredients
CYCLOPENTASILOXANE, DIMETHICONE, DIMETHICONE CROSSPOLYMER, SILICA, PHENYL TRIMETHICONE, CYCLOHEXASILOXANE, TRIBEHENIN, TALC, C30-45 ALKYL METHICONE, C30-45 OLEFIN, TRIETHOXYCAPRYLYLSILANE, METHICONE, PARAFFINUM LIQUIDUM (MINERAL OIL), PHENOXYETHANOL, METHYLPARABEN, ETHYLPARABEN, CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499 (IRON OXIDES), CI 77891 (TITANIUM DIOXIDE).

What do I think?
I still like this product. It has a smell that reminds me of a younger me. The mousse is very soft. It can be great coverage or medium coverage when you blend it. I love it a lot especially because it colour-corrects my face and makes my canvas look so put together. For me as far as this foundation goes, a little goes a long way, and for the price. I would buy it again. I (as always) would suggest checking it out on your skin. Make-up does different things with different people. I do need to say that I don’t like the little pot, I am a more bacteria-prevention girl. But the product cannot be put in another packaging I think.

Important things to know
This product retails for 3 euros and contains 16 gr/ 0.56 oz.

Lots of love, Melissa
