Oh Sudz Foundation Review [Etsy]

Hey guys! Hope your having a great week. I had ordered a sample of the Oh Sudz natural liquid foundation and blemish cover up from their Etsy shop. The samples were $3.00 each, which is a little bit pricier than what I've paid for samples in the past, but there's plenty of product for many uses! I received my package in about a week and everything was packaged simply and professionally.
 Foundation swatched heavily on the left, concealer swatched heavily on the right.
I decided to order only the "Light Warm" shade in both foundation and concealer, I figured that this would be a perfect color match based on the swatches from the website. The foundation shade was a little bit lighter than expected and I think I could easily pull off the "Medium" shade. The foundation has a very light runny consistency which makes it easier to smooth over your face, and once applied the shade seemed to match my neck really well. The first time I wore this I initially tried to apply with my beauty blender and it did not work out well!! The foundation just didn't want to blend into my skin with the dampened sponge and I had to go back over everything with a buffing brush to blend the streaks out. Today I blended it with just the buffing brush and seemed to have slightly better results. I like the coverage of this lightweight foundation, it really evens out my skin tone and covers the redness in my cheeks. However, when I look close up at my skin I can really see the foundation sitting on top of my face and it just doesn't seem to want to sink in to my drier than the desert skin. I think this product might work better for someone with normal or even oilier skin, I may just have to try again with super moisturized skin. The foundation is affordable at approximately $12.00 for one fluid ounce and can be found here.
I am quite enjoying the coverage of the blemish concealer, and I actually use it under my eyes as opposed to on blemishes :) It's just a tad lighter than my face for a perfect highlighting effect under my eye area. I find it blends best when tapped into the skin using my ring finger, the heat from the skin on skin contact really helps it melt into my skin. The only downside of this to me is that it is rather hard and not as creamy as I would like upon first touch. I believe the full size concealer is approximately between $10-12 and can be found here.
I think these are wonderful handmade products with natural "good for your skin" ingredients, I'm just not sure how compatible they are with my specific skin. At this time I'm still undecided on whether I will be purchasing the full sizes of these...luckily for me I still have a few uses left from my samples :)

Thanks for tuning in for this quick review! Tell me, what is your go to foundation/concealer?
