review ELf mineral foundation

I've used a  three different mineral foundation brands over the past years. I used LOREAL ,REVLON and ELF mineral foundation and so far among the three,REVLON was my favorite. When i ran out of my revlon i looked for something that has same effect but with a cheaper price, I got excited to see elf in one of my trips to the mall, so i decided to purchase one, but as i was expecting too much from this product I was really disappointed.


What i like about elf is that it has spf, the packaging is nice, doesn't cause breakouts, since I do have sensitive skin,very lightweight,affordable for php399.
What I don't like in this product, first the packaging is so small,coverage power is no good that i need to put on foundation before achieving medium to full coverage. The powder is hard to get out, i have to shake it a million times. There isn't enough of color choices, when i bought mine at watsons the SA told me that they only have 2 shades available here. It makes my skin MOOORRRE oily.  Lastly it doesn't stays long!


Overall all i could say is that,it doesn't give justice to its price, i rather spend twice its price than purchase this again. i don't know if i recommend this product.It may not work for me,but i don't know with others.
