Inglot YSM Cream Foundation is a medium to full coverage foundation with a semi-matte finish.

This is a great everyday foundation that's not too expensive. Compared to similar name-brand foundations by MAC, Make Up For Ever, and Bobbi Brown, this foundation is only $15.00 for the same amount of product! Read more...

Here are some examples of items you can bring in as well as pictures of what I traded and got for free! Read more...
