*REVIEW* LUNA Water Essence FounPact

Back in late 2014 I was watching a YouTube video from get it beauty that featured the Luna Water Essence Foundpact and I immediately wanted to get it. It seem like a promising item that will hydrate your skin, provide spf coverage, anti-wrinkle, whitening, and provide a dewy Korean celebrity like look. You can checkout the get it beauty video below.

I immediately hopped on www.ibuybeauti.com to see if it is available and made a purchase. The cost of the product was $30 USD for the Luna water essence foundpact + refill. So basically you get 2 times the product because of the refill.

So here are my thoughts:

Hydrating:

Even thought one of the selling point of this product is that it contains 60% moisture essence my skin still felt kind of dry after a 8hrs day in the office. When first applied I did feel a cooling sensation and some moisturising essence (or you could say it felt a little wet), but that sensation quickly went away after an hour of application. Near the 1pm~2pm mark my skin started to feel a bit tight, and by the end of an 8hrs day I just wanted to go home to take off my makeup. A few factor that could contribute to this could be:

• Canada's winter is super dry
• I work in an office with heated/re-filtered air 8hrs a day 
• I have combination skin - oily on the tzone but dry and sensitive on the cheek

Luna has recently came out with an updated version Luna Water Essence FounPact EX with 70% Enriched essence

Coverage:

Coverage wise this product provides a light to medium coverage. It is certainly build-able, but if you have hyper-pigmentation like I do, then you will need to slap on some concealer

Colour Selection:

Colour selection wise, this product only comes in one shade *sad face*. I am a Nars - Fiji and a M.A.C. NC30 (NC30 is a bit dark on me) and the one and only colour this foundpact comes in is light on my skin. I would need to blend down my neck, otherwise I'll just have a white face.

The new/updated  Luna Water Essence FounPact EX  has 2 colour select Light Beige and Natural Beige. The Natural Beige is a new darker shade added.

SPF Coverage:

This product provides a SPF35 PA++

Sensitivity to the skin:

When my rosacea is flaring, I don't like to use this product, since something in it make my skin itch (I stick with my Nars sheer glow). But when my skin is happy, it does not hate this product.
