Good Morning. Finally Saturday. Smell of Coziness. This is going to be a great day, I tell you.
There is a lot of stuff lying around from my fab bag subscriptions. You know Fab Bag… right? FabBag.com started luxury product sampling about 2 years back in India. It is still rocking. It provides sample of luxurious brands or the brands that are not available in India otherwise. In case we like some product sample, we can order full size product from Fab Bag. Sometimes we receive full size products too as a bonus. This is a great idea to get familiar with new brands and test them out for your needs. I quite liked it. But sometimes, the products are duds.
I received Geri G. Innocent Foundation in one of my Fab Bag Subscription. Let me tell you, how it fared on me.

Texture & Smell
The texture of the foundation is velvety smooth. Goes on skin very smoothly. The smell is mild and pleasant.
My Views
It claims to be containing antioxidants, omega 3’s & Nanomarine-5 Complex. All these ingredients are supposed to be working as anti ageing agents. So it sounds really good, but of course I can’t test this claim.
It is water based, which makes it suitable for all skin types even for oily skin. Glides on skin smoothly.
The shade medium goes fine with my wheatish skin tone. It does not look like I am wearing anything. Gives quite natural finish.
The coverage is sheer if you apply just one layer. It just evens out skin. I have tried applying another layer. The coverage builds up little bit, but is not able to hide my acne scars. It would be perfect for someone who has clear skin.
It never broke me out or irritated my skin. I did not ever find any dry patches after wearing this foundation even when I skipped wearing a moisturiser to test its moisturisation claims. It didn’t even made my skin feel oily. It has just the perfect formulation.
The finish is sheer and glowy. Matte finish can be attained by applying compact or translucent powder over it. I have never worn it for an entire day, since it does not serve the purpose of a foundation to me due to the wrong shade and lack of coverage factor. I have always worn it for few hours to just test it. Except the coverage, I didn’t find any issue with this foundation.
The pump disposes off a pea size of the product, enough for one application. Foundations that comes with pumps are really convenient to use.
