HissyFit Saving Face Foundation in Nude - Review

Is it possible to write a review for something you tried a year ago? These pics are from March last year, not long after I picked up HissyFit Saving Face in Nude from TKMaxx. I'd been wanting to try it for a while. The idea of a hard working spf 50+ foundation sounded very appealing......trouble is I hated it from the moment it went near my face. I thought I might feel better about it in the hot summer.....except that it never came....nor has it this year.....

The texture is much more in the region of a sunscreen than a foundation, and not a very pleasant one at that. For school, on hot days, I use a once a day sunscreen on the kids. They last about 6 hours just enough to get them through the school day....they are sticky and thick and not a thing you would want to put on your face, but that's exactly what HissyFit Saving Face reminds me of. Honestly there are heaps of more comfortable face sunscreens I'd layer with a foundation, any day of the week rather than use this again.

Add to this the fact that, Nude, the lightest colour is too dark and too yellow and the coverage is nowhere near what I want from a foundation......more that of a tinted moisturiser....

 I was obviously having a bit of a spot issue and too unimpressed with how I looked to use the pics at the time.

The full effect!

According to my previous post I paid £3.99 for this foundation, which made my disappointment bearable. Normal price is around the £20 mark - then I would have been having a hissy fit.
