What she thought: "If you're constantly on the go like I am, this is the foundation to take along for the ride. It's solid, so you can carry it on a plane without having to go through the whole plastic baggie song and dance. It has two-compartment packaging -- the sponge applicator is found under the snap open lid and the foundation is accessed by screwing off the entire lid, which keeps things neat and germ-free. The included sponge actually works well (most included applicators, I toss) to give you medium coverage that is well blended. The oil-free, fragrance-free formula feels a bit cooling as it glides on your skin, which feels fabulous and moisturizing. It's not dry or cakey-looking and doesn't settle oddly on your skin after a long day of wear. Even if you have combination skin like I do. It's also great for midday touch-ups."
