The heat lately has been really unforgiving. If only I can stay all day inside the house and switch the aircon on all day, I would. But sometimes I just need to get out there and do errands or attend to some events. But I am more concerned of the products I will use during this season if it will really last on me.
There are times when I need to look decent which really got me worried because products in my vanity might fail me. I remembered I have Marc Jacobs re(marc)able foundation in my drawer and believe it or not I haven’t used it yet during summer. I am always busy during summer that I only tend to use sunscreen and cheek tint.
Pros:
It is long lasting. I used to wear it a maximum of 8 hours and still looks good. No patchy looking skin, no cracks and still look dewy.
Lightweight. Who wouldn’t like a lightweight make-up? I don’t feel any heaviness when I wear it as it acts as second skin only. I feel like I am not wearing any make-up at all.
Medium coverage. This one has medium to full coverage on my skin. It evens out my complexion but my face doesn’t look like I have a mask on my face.
Fancy packaging. It comes in a glass matte bottle and black cap. When you remove the black cap, you will get a silver dot applicator for your face.
Cons:
Price point. This one is really expensive as it is a high end foundation. But, even if it means expensive, it does really do the job. It is priced at P2,900++.

Availability. I asked a friend to buy this for me from Sephora in Singapore. But you can also get this from local retailers online. They also sell sample amounts “takals” which you can get only a fraction from it’s original price. But of course, it has risks as you might not buy the real product. It is still best to get from approved retailers.
Applicator. I am really not comfortable of the applicator that comes with it. But I guess they made it that way to be able to control the amount of product you apply on your face.
Will I recommend this?
Yes! It is one of the few products that worked during summer and will make you look really decent as the product really stays on point. However, I am not saying that it will work with everybody. I have a combination skin and some products may or may not work for me.
