Boots no7 perfect and protect foundation?

Hi before I go out and buy this and waste £15 I was wondering if anyones tried it and whats your opinion ? Ive read a few reviews on the internet and a few say its more like a tinted moisturiser than a foundation others rave about it, I really need a medium coverage foundation so dont want to waste my money. Thanks

    I tried a tester in the shop and I didn't think the coverage was sufficient - I agree that it was more like a tinted moisturiser.
  • Now I disagree, I use it in the ivory and it is fine. it evens out my skintone ok and doesnt feel claggy! I have dry skin and it moisturises too, but haven't noticed my wrinkles lessening. It's fine but I am not certain it is any better than the rimmel recover which is my favourite and lots cheaper.
    Cogito ergo sum. Google it you lazy sod !!

    I use that and I LOVE it, the best foundation I've used, blends in with my face perfectly, evens out my skin tone. It dosent cover up spots or anything, its just a medium coverage.
