I’m a little torn on whether or not I want to review all of
the Sally Hansen “Inspired by Carmindy” products that I’ve bought, given that I’m
still not 100% sure whether the line has been discontinued or not. If you’d
rather I only review products that are still definitely available, please let
me know.
My main frustration is with application – the back of the
bottle recommends spraying it into your hands and applying, but while I like
applying liquid and cream foundations with my fingers, this is a bit more
awkward as it’s hard to get a concentrated spray going, and when you do it
looks a bit like bubbly beige acid, which isn’t the most inviting texture for
something you’re about to rub on your face.

Ultimately I find the finish nice – though it feels heavy,
it doesn’t look it. But given the awkward application and slightly heavy feel,
I’ve come to use this foundation more for making my own tinted moisturizer.
I spray a little of the Sally Hansen foundation directly into a light day moisturizer until I feel
like there’s enough to give me slight coverage, then I add a bit of skin
illuminator (I used Lush’s Emotional Brilliance Feeling Younger, which I’ll
review a bit later), mix the whole thing up with a popcicle stick and apply
directly to my skin. Because of the formula of the spray-on foundation, it
mixes very well with the creams and doesn’t separate or flake off the way I’ve
had happen with some cream foundation.
I can do a separate review of my DIY tinted moisturizer, since it is a different finish/consistency.
