Doll 10 Aqua D'Pure Hydra Fluid Foundation Drops (Light)

I happened upon this foundation on QVC. It was a "One Time Only Value" and I watched a few seconds of the foundation and was definitely intrigued. The coverage appeared really nice and when Doris Dalton said that the foundation was water-based and fragrance-free I jumped aboard. It also came with a brush, which looked nice.

There were four colors to choose from and I chose the Light. I am fairly light in BareMinerals if you were wondering. The Fair looked very cool-toned, the medium definitely looked too dark for my skin and of course the tan would be as well.
The light color is definitely on the warmer side but it is not overly yellow. My skin is a true neutral without blue, red, or yellow undertones. I think the light shade will be nice to slightly warm up my complexion in the warmer months and make me not look so washed out. The texture is not completely fluid or runny (like water) but it is a thinner textured foundation.
As you can see from the photo of my hand and the foundation blended out the coverage is even and not streaky at all which I love. There is absolutely no fragrance to this product. There is some flash-back from the camera flash but that is not visible to the naked eye and has a very natural satin finish. Also, this foundation is buildable to full coverage.
This photo shows the Doll 10 foundation on the left and Lancome Teint Idole Ultra Foundation in Buff 210 Neutral on the Right. You can see the difference between a neutral tone and the warmer tone of the Doll 10.
The brush is made in China but has very nice, soft and dense bristles. It is cut on an angle and easily slides across the face to stiple on the foundation and lightly blend it out.

PROS:
-fragrance and oil-free
-even non-streaky coverage that is buildable
-The price is reasonable
-Foundation made in Italy and great quality.
CONS:
-Very limited color selection with only four shades
-Hard to purchase as it is only available on QVC.
-Not photo friendly without a finishing powder of some sort to counteract the flashback

ORDERING INFO:
Can be found here at www.qvc.com:

PRICE: $34.62 or around $30 without the brush.

I WAS NOT PAID TO DO THIS REVIEW. I PURCHASED THIS PRODUCT WITH MY OWN MONEY.

  2. Do you know how the light shade compares to an NC Mac foundation?
