I try to mark the sunscreen ingredients in red and other possible irritants in lilac. Ingredients thought to be good and useful for skin I mark green. Learning as I go, google is my friend etc...
Thoughts:
- Color is not a good match for me; it steers to orange, is surprisingly "dark" (at least for my winter skin!).
- Clogs my pores/breaks me out a little.
- The pump is messy and cheap, not a good control.
- You really have to shake the bottle properly every time so that the liquid turns even.
- I don't personally think it's worth it to start mixing my preferred foundation color at home and buy several shades of the product for that reason... I'm too lazy!
- During the day I felt like the foundation started to slide off the tip of my nose and forehead.
+ Price point is excellent!
+ There is an option to buy a dropper if you truly hate the pump but then again I don't know which is worse to use anyway.
+ Lots of shades (but yet it seems none of them would truly fit me).
+ Liquid consistency, easy to blend.
+ Natural light finish.
+ Probably suits all skin types except (very) oily.

* Even though the color match is not quite right, with some effort and careful blending and light layer it works; also I think this could be my shade if I tanned. I bought the shade 1.2N Light Neutral.
* I looked at TO's foundation shades and it now seems that they do not have my preferred shade even though they have so many... everything feels slightly off. To get the orange down, I'd have to go more to cold/pink shades because neutral wasn't neutral; but my undertone is not pink so I don't know how that would look like. The other neutral shades 1.1N Fair looks very pink and light, 2.0N Light Medium is most likely too dark, 1.0N Very Fair shadewise looks ok (actually neutral) but it's also too light!
* I have no idea which ingredient is breaking me out or if it's just the overall formula. I had high hopes for this foundation as many seem to love it!

Buy again?
No.
Worth the money?
If you find your shade and it doesn't break you out! Actually it's cheap to get two to three shades and decide which suits you the best. Personally for me it obviously wasn't worth it, everything about it was slightly wrong (except the price).
