It's a sunny Saturday morning and she is getting ready for her usual Saturday with her Mum. After showering she washes her face, moisturises and gets ready to do her make up. Weekends, she likes to wear very little, if any make up at all, because of the fact she wears it everyday to work - she likes to give her skin a chance to "breathe". Never-the-less, she decides to try Roc Retin-Ox Illuminateur Intensive Anti Wrinkle Ultra Light Foundation. The first thing she does is smells it. She doesn't want anything smelly wafting around her nose all day. It's smells nice, kind of "perfumey", kind of citrus, kind of sweet, she can't pick what it is exactly.
She opens it up, it looks very brown. She checks the packaging. Yep, it's for fair skin she says to herself. She applys to her whole face then squints her eyes and leans close to the mirror. It's doesn't look like she has put anything on. She applys another coat - keeping her hopes up. Again, she leans close to the mirror. This time she sees a slight shimmer - a sparkle of gold glitter across her cheeks. She reads the packaging again, thinking she has the wrong idea of what this product does. 'Ultra light foundation'. More like non-existent. She is confused. Is this an illuminator or a foundation?
Walking around the house she finds her boyfriend and asks "does it look like I have anything on my face?" Squinting he runs his eyes over her face. "Ummmm....it looks sort of......glittery" his voice ending on a high note as if more asking a question than giving an observation.
She decides that this would serve better as a shimmer to wear over her foundation. Besides, she didn't see the point of wearing something so light that it can't even been seen.
P.S. She checked and she still has wrinkles while wearing it.
