Packaging:
It looks a lot like the container of Maybelline's dream matte mousse, although it has a blue cap instead of nude.
Pros:
It is fairly cheap. I paid around 3 Euro.
It has a very soft, matte finish. When I apply it with a sponge, it does not look cakey at all. It does not feel like you wear make-up.
It stays on my skin for around 6 hours without touch ups or primer.
It does not irritate my sensitive skin, after using this product my skin even got less irritated than it usually is.
Cons:
Since my skin is not very prone to acne, I cannot say a lot about the acne-fighting skill of this product.
After using this product I still had some zits, although it weren't a lot of zits. My blackheads did not disappear either. This does not sound a lot like fighting zits and blackheads to me.
It does not cover spots as easily as they claim to. You still can see redness through it. It does not cover that well. I did not wear concealer under the foundation.
Overall:
It is not a bad product, really for how much I paid for it. I do doubt the acne fighting ability of this product. It covers fine, but does not cover redness very well.
Repurchase:
Sure. It works nice for my skin.
