My usual day-to-day foundation is Bourjois Healthy Mix but I was coming to the end of the bottle and thought I would try something new.
The packaging is typical La Roche Posay, their usual simplistic white and blue, the foundation comes boxed which keeps it in line with their skincare products and walking past it on the shop floor you probably would mistaken it for a skincare item.
The foundation is described as a mousse, and my initial impression was that it was very thick in consistency,
When applying foundation I usually like to pop it on the back of my hand and either use a brush or fingers to apply, so that I can control how much I am using but with this foundation it's not possible due to the thickness.
I then applied using my Bobbi Brown blending brush and I got a much better result, more even and flawless application.

My other initial worry when I first used this BB cream was that it appeared to very orange in colour.
The cream only comes in two shades, fair/light & light/medium, but once blended it did match my skintone pretty perfectly.
As you know I do suffer from Rosacea and from the photos you will see you can still slightly see the pustules on my cheek area but the final look of the BB cream is nice, although I find it to not be that buildable due to the consistency, so concealer is needed if you have any imperfections.
You will of noticed from the title of this BB cream that it is oil absorbing, my skin is actually very dry and so I usually choose a dewy foundation and for me personally this is a little too matt for my liking. I try and counter act this by using a radiant primer underneath or by creating a littler shimmer with a subtle highlighter afterwards.
I like the fact the foundation feels weightless and it really does feel like you aren't wearing anything on your skin, its also quite long lasting and wears very evenly without going patchy.
Overall I think if you don't like a heavy foundation and want something fuss free, easy to apply with a nice coverage then this BB cream would be perfect.
I definitely think as the weather warms up and I want to wear less makeup that this will be a foundation of choice.
