Whereas I’ve loads of basis to final a couple of lifetimes, I can by no means resist attempting a bougie new components particularly when it comes from Posh Spice herself! Victoria Beckham Magnificence has but to let me down on any of the merchandise I’ve bought so when the “skin-first” Basis Drops with TFC8 launched at Holt Renfrew final Fall, I needed to choose it up in the course of the Holt’s shopper purchasing occasion!

Coming in 19 shades, this breathable, serum-like components offers mild, however buildable to medium protection that feels similar to your individual pores and skin and is powered by Augustinus Bader’s patented cell rejuvenating TCF8.

This can be a versatile, vegan and silicone-free components that melts into pores and skin and slowly settles onto the pores and skin because the day progresses and guarantees a 12 hour luminous end that evens pores and skin tone and disguises the looks of minimal pores and skin imperfections like hyperpigmentation. 

The packaging is plastic with a shaker inside and jogs my memory plenty of the Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua! The VB components is not fairly as light-weight as it’s extra of a plump texture, however shaking this bottle completely introduced again reminiscences!

Possibly I will be higher with it when I’m nearer to 50 years previous than 40 as proper now, I nonetheless like the texture of a typical basis.

Closing verdict: I will give this a strong strive in the summertime after I actually do not feel like utilizing a lot on my face apart from concealer to see if I’ll prefer it extra.
