Quick RantReview About an Unacceptable Foundation

Okay so I am very passionate about something so I thought I would share. Before I took a shower tonight I tried out this one foundation which I've had for a little while. It's the Rimmel Clean Finish foundation.

Looks safe right? 
[it's not]


 Now don't get me wrong, the finish is actually pretty "clean" as in not super-heavy and it doesn't accentuate pores. It is almost a gel rather than a cream, and the finish is very matte. There also a few other claims on the back like vitamins A and E, plus antioxidants, fragrance free, dermatologist-tested, all that jazz. I got it on sale and it was pretty cheap to start with, so what is there to complain about?

THIS. 


 okay this this fine
 smooth it in a lil
 huh this is weird

This stuff oxidizes like crazy, aka it changes colors and turns way orange on my skin. This is not okay, and even more noticeable on a face than on an arm. I am quite fair (pale) and the lightest shade starts out dandy, but a mere 10 second later it's like I'm one of the popular girls from my graduating class in high school (orange). ahem anyway.

I know this came out at least a year ago, but as I saw it on the shelves the other day in CVS I thought maybe I could save someone a couple of dollars and a lot of heartbreak. Especially since CVS is having their big makeup clearance right now; don't be disillusioned. It's not worth 50% off. I promise.
