Hey Guys,

Today, I'm introducing you to Neutrogena Mineral Sheers Liquid foundation SPF 20. The color I selected was: Classic Ivory 10. This was my first time trying out the product. This foundation is a tube foundation w/ a cosmetic brush provided on top to provide I guess easy coverage?? As you can see in the photo the brush is located on top of the tube. To get the foundation out .. you hold the brush at the top and turn the tube clockwise. I purchased this product at walmart. For about $10-11.00. Not sure of the exact price but I will look it up and record the price at the top of my blog next to "retail value". When I first stumbled across this product my eye brows raised and I was thinking "Oh, cool...a foundation that comes close to matching my facial skin tone and it comes with an applicator brush! Think thats another term you can use for a cosmetic brush?! Anyways, so I thought the price was a little bit "pricey" but then I thought..well.. their giving you a two in one deal. Your getting something for your money. After cleansing and moisturizing my face (wich you should always do before applying make-up) I began using the product. I took off the cap and I held the brush at the top and began turning the tube "clockwise" as directed from the label on the bottle. After turning the tube a couple times..nothing was coming out of the bottle. (I forgot to mention that the liquid foundation comes up through the brush at the top!) So, nothing was coming out of the bottle? So, I began turning the tube "clockwise" and finally it started to lock when I turned again for the final time..and then I finally saw some foundation coming out. You want to be careful turning the tube because if you turn it too much then theres a large amount that is going to come out on to the brush. That is what happened to me. So, I began brushing a dot of foundation on to each cheek, my chin, my nose, and my forehead and attempted to brush/blend it in. To avoid streaking you will want to use your finger to better blend in the foundation. The make-up is like a liquid mousse(spelling sorry?) It feels great when you apply it to your skin. It's kind of light and airy. But, I don't like mousse make-up. It just feels a bit to liquidy and greasy. Yuck! I was so excited to be trying out this product and I had my hopes high when I bought it. But, after trying it out..I was disappointed. The second day after using this product no make-up would come out of the tube after I turned it clockwise. Then I thought well "maybe I am turning this the wrong way?!" Nothing. So, I ended up having to break the top open to get the make-up out. I was very disappointed. I spent a lot of money on this foundation..I wasn't about to waste it. And I wasn't about to deal with the hassle of taking it back to the store and returning it. My overall rating for this product: "Thumbs Down!!!". I will not be purchasing this product/using it again. Sorry, neutrogena!!! But, this product is not a winner.
