PRODUCT REVIEW: LA MER THE TREATMENT FLUID FOUNDATION

LA MER The Treatment Fluid Foundation is a little secret in a Jar. It is the most natural looking, silky and complexion enhancing foundation I have ever used. I have tried so many foundations and I haven't felt this way about any product, EVER. This foundation brings out your natural skin tone without overbearing it with product and it hides imperfections. It is so lightweight that it feels like second skin and has UV ray protection with SPF 15 to give sun protection. One of the most important quality of this product for me is that it also hydrates and for people with dry/oily combination skin, there is no patchy or flaky skin afterwards. It is a long wear product and your skin will look fresh all day. It comes in 10 different shades of color. It is definitely a pricey product at $85 but I think it is well worth the money. Plus point is that it doesn't require too much product for coverage, so one bottle will last for a long time. All and all, this is that one product that I have absolutely fallen in love with for lifetime.
