There are very few specific products I can't live without - my ipod, Kathryn Kerrigan shoes, IGIGI dresses, and FACEAtelier Ultra Foundation.

My addiction to this foundation runs deep.  Firstly, whenever I use the product, I receive compliments on my skin which has not happened since I was a small child.  Between my ongoing battle with adult acne and my oily skin, I fet there was sincerely no hope for my skin.  That was, of course, until I got my Dashing Diva manicured fingers on this bottle.

Sure, the bottle is non-descript, and you probably haven't heard of the brand.  It doesn't have some flashy ad campaign with the latest up-and-coming supermodel wearing some seriously dangerous smokey eye.  Not saying anything against those other companies, but FACEAtelier doesn't need all that flash.  When a product is good, it sells itself.

Ultra Foundation utilizes silicone, the same ingrediently likely found in your primer, to make the foundation lay on top of your skin instead of settling into pores and wrinkles.  If it was good enough for Madonna's Confessions tour, it's certainly good enough for my evening of cocktails with the gals.

Five minutes with FACEAtelier founder Debbie Bondar and you're hooked on her infectious energy and passion.  She's determined to make good products better and truly serve the needs of the women she is marketing to.  With her common sense, business smarts and sharp wit, it's easy to understand how she managed to create a successful product without all the distracting flash.

FACEAtelier Ultra Foundation retails for $42.  I'm so convinced that every woman I know would love the foundation as much as I do if given the opportunity to try it that I'm offering 5 samples of Ultra Foundation right here on StyleITOnline.com.  Contest ends October 28 at 11:59pm, open to United States residents only.  Winners will be chosen at random and contacted via email for their shade preference and mailing address.

If you've tried FACEAtelier Ultra Foundation and love it as much as I do, I'd love to hear about it in the comments below.  If not, good luck!
