Product Review Wednesday: Urban Decay Surreal Cream to Powder Foundation

     So it's my birthday AND....
     I found it!! I believe my search for a foundation that works for my skin is over and it's all thanks to a lovely fellow at Sephora named Dan. Woohoo! Apparently, this man not only works for the Sephora store, he has also work with the Sephora product line as well as presently works for Urban Decay. He just happened to be over by the Clinique section and so we struck up a conversation. We discussed my foundation finding frustrations along with the recommendations I've received from friends and what I was looking for in a foundation, and here it is:

     Here are some things I like about this product:

• Coverage, coverage, coverage! I have a particularly difficult spot to cover well without looking like my face is caked and this definitely does the trick. Smooths and evens out skin, while not looking like I have a lot of product on as well as not feeling like I have a lot of product on.
• It's so light feeling
• Doesn't contain any agents that clog pores
• It's a hydrating product, so it doesn't look like my skin is dry even when it is.
• It's not loose powder, so I don't feel like I'm wasting expensive product because it spills out everytime I open it, which is something I've discovered bothers me from past experiences
• It's compact, so it's easy to store and take on the go.

     http://www.urbandecay.com/ says the following about their product: 

"Want porcelain-perfect coverage AND a modern, natural finish? Surreal Skin Cream-to-Powder Foundation is your answer. This ultra-lightweight formula transforms from a decadent cream to a micro-fine powder upon contact with skin. You won't believe the instant transformation! The light-as-air texture glides on effortlessly and feels as natural as your own skin. (No heavy, greasy, or powdery makeup texture.)"

     

     I completely agree and have not found anything I don't like about this product.
