Lotus Herbals Ecostay Super Finish Mousse SPF 20 Review, Swatches, FOTD

Hi guys,

I have been trying out the Lotus Herbals Ecostay Super Finish Mousse since the past few weeks and here’s my take on it.

What the Company claims: This feather light oil-free texture won’t feel greasy or heavy delivering all day flawless natural looking matte skin. It will easily hide blemishes and spots on face creating a perfect make-up base.

Special Features:

Unique feather light oil free texture
Super easy to blend & evens out the skin tone
Non-comedogenic – it won’t clog pores and is safe for sensitive skin
Natural matte finish
Waterproof Formula
100% Vegetarian
SPF 20 for UV protection
Enriched with Jojoba extracts – It promotes skin healing, treats acne and acts as a natural moisturizer for the skin

How to Use:
Cleanse your skin.
Apply moisturiser on whole face & neck.
Apply Ecostay Mousse in dots on moisturised skin, blend well in sweeping strokes using fingertips to achieve silk-smooth finish and ultimate coverage.

MRP: Rs.675/- for 15g

Shades:

  • Royal Pearl
  • Bright Angel
  • Royal Ivory

Ingredients: Jojoba extracts

It comes in this very small glass jar, it’s quite tiny than I expected. This is easy to carry even in your sling. It comes with a metallic pink cap, there is no white separator in between though.

The texture is whipped cream/mousse like and it does feel silicony which makes it a good primer that will smoothen out the skin and/or pores. It has a strong floral smell, but does not bother much and goes away in a minute. I am glad it comes with SPF 20.

I have the shade Bright Angel which is the mid shade I believe. It is a little yellow for me, but when blended on the skin, it did not look that yellow and somehow matched the skin.

The finish is completely dry and matte, you do not to top it up with a powder. This is perfect for oily skin, but if you have dry skin, make sure you moisturize heavily, coz otherwise it will accentuate dry patches.

The coverage is light and more like a tinted moisturiser for everyday use. It evens out the skin and covers any redness. You will need a concealer separately for dark circles and acne scars. Here I have used only the mousse and nothing else, and you can see my dark circles and few scars showing through. When using for an occasion, I would advise using this as a base as it makes for a good primer and smoothens out the skin and stays long.

Staying power is pretty decent, you don’t need powder touch ups as it’s matte finish, only the nose/T zone gets a little shiny after the usual 4-5 hours which is what normally happens on any skin.

I wish they had more shades though, only three options are less. Plus the quantity of 15g is also too less for the price, it should have been 30g atleast. Also only jojoba extracts is mentioned, I prefer full ingredient list.

Overall I would say it’s a daily wear mousse which gives light coverage and stays for a decent time. It smoothens the pores and gives a nice, matte look. It’s good for office or college wear and can also work as a primer. I would recommend this for oily skin. And dry skin too, but with a good, heavy moisturiser.

Color pigments offer superior coverage.
Blends effortlessly for a soft, natural – looking, even – toned result

Expert Tip
Start by applying foundation down the center of your face first.Use just a small amount and blend it in thoroughly.Layer more if necessary to achieve the coverage you want.

MRP: Rs. 525/- for 18g

Ingredients:

Shades Available:

  • Classic Ivory Light 2
  • Nude Light 4
  • Sandy Beige Medium 1
  • Pure Beige Medium 2
  • Honey Beige Medium 4
I have the Honey Beige Medium 4 which I guess is the darkest of the shades available in India..Nude Light or Sandy Beige Medium would have been a better match..but all the shades in this range have an orangey undertone :/
This is probably their first launch and is available here from a long time..it comes in a jar packaging..a little bigger than the Maybelline Dream Mousse Blush which was launched alongwith..
Its mousse like in texture..but settles to a dry powdery finish on the skin..very little qty is to be used and blended well..if you try to layer this or use more qty, it would give a cakey look…
It gives medium coverage..and is good for those who need minimal coverage..or are ok with less coverage for everyday wear…stays well for 5-6 hours.
See the deep orangey undertone..

Pros:
1. Just a little qty is needed.
2. Feels very light on the skin.
3. Can be easily used with fingers..no brush, etc needed.
4. Travel friendly..but its a glass jar..so one has to be a little careful though.
5. Economical..and a lot of qty is offered.
6. 5 shades to choose from.
7. Stays for 5-6 hours.
Cons:
1. If layered, would look cakey and patchy.
2. Settles in fine lines and pores.
3. May look powdery on dry skin.
4. All shades have orangey undertones.
5. Unhygienic jar packaging.
Overall I have mixed views for this..not very happy with this one..I love the Dream Liquid Foundation much much more..Would recommend this if you are oily skin and need less coverage and find a good shade match..

Inglot AMC Mousse Foundation mw700 Review, Swatches


Inglot has five types of Foundations..Cream Foundation (comes in inverted white tube), AMC Cream Foundation (comes in a bottle with a normal pump dispensor), YSM Cream Foundation (comes in a tube), AMC Mousse Foundation (comes in a jar) and cream powder (comes in a flat pan..creamy foundation that settles to a matte finish)

AMC stands for Advanced Makeup Components which is their higher and professional range..

YSM stands for Young Skin Makeup..YSM is only in Foundations.

What the Company claims: Beautiful light weight formula,soft to touch and melts into the skin effortlessly.

This air whipped foundation feels like silk on the skin and gives a natural coverage similar to a tinted moisturiser.Just perfect for that barely there skin! Whether its a product for your kit or an essential for your handbag,this is an addition everybody needs to give their skin that jlo glow!

**MUA TIP-Use Inglot liquid illuminators to give the skin a really polished glow!!**

Paraben Free Formula
Not Tested on Animals

Shades Available:

According to me..here m,l,f and d stand for Medium, Light, Fair and Dark and w and c stand for warm and cool..and then there are shade numbers..so mw is Medium Warm

MRP: Rs. 1000/- for 11 g/0.38 US OZ

Ingredients:

It comes in a small flat glass jar with a black cap..it has an air whipped mousse consistency as claimed..the texture is a little similar to Lakme Absolute Mattreal Mousse..or L’oreal Matte Morphose Foundation.

It has a slight fruity smell..but does not bother much and goes away in a few seconds..I generally use fingers to blend this..as the warmth of the fingers makes it melt and blend easily..or even Sigma F80 at times.

It gives light to medium coverage..and looks quiet natural..gives a matte finish and stays put the whole day.

The shade mw700 is a little darker..kinda yellowish for my skin tone…but being medium warm ideally it should have suited..I have not seen other 7 shades..so I am not sure which shade would really suit..but I wish there were more shades available..

Unblended
Blended

Pros:

1. Love the air whipped creamy texture.
2. Blends easily and quite well..even with bare hands.
3. Gives a quite natural look.
4. It gives a matte finish..good for summers too.
5. Stays put the whole day.
6. Reduces the appearance of pores.
7. Photographs well.
8. Paraben free and not tested on animals.

Cons:

1. Inglot is not available everywhere. You can buy it online here.
2. Expensive ! I wish it was either priced lower or the quantity offered was more.
3. I would have liked if there were more shades to choose from…especially suited for Indian skin tones.
4. It does have dimethicone and trimethicone..if you are allergic to silicones..I would suggest staying away.
5. Jar packaging.

Overall its a nice creamy mousse foundation which gives a matte finish, stays whole day, photographs well and looks natural too. I would surely recommend giving this a try..would suit all skin types..oily skin might need to powder a little after a few hours…but if you need heavy coverage, this is not for you.
