Based on the name I imagined this foundation very differently, something more lightweight and hydrating, but to me it looks like they just reused the formula of their True Skin foundation when I compared them side by side. It's yet another Catrice foundation that doesn't suit my skin.

Formula: It's a thick foundation that's pretty much the same as their True Skin. I find that foundation paste-like and this one again lacks something that would make it melt/blend into the skin better. There is nothing "invisible" about this on my skin. It this looks a bit dry in places and I need a good hydrating or oily base to make it work better. I use a cushion foundation sponge and due to the thickness of the formula I find it has the ability to fill in the pores, but it doesn't always look good and I don't like how it looks on textured skin.

Coverage and finish: It has about medium coverage and a matte finish. It looks flat and obvious on my skin. Powder is out of the question, unless I want to make it worse.

Shade: The shade range looks very good. I picked 012 C which isn't the lightest one and it's perhaps a bit pale for me. It's a shade with cool undertones while they have a version of this depth with warm and neutral tones. Shades don't correspond to their True Skin range, as 002 at the latter is about the same depth as 012C at Invisible Cover.

Packaging: It's the same glass bottle with a pump as their True Skin one, just that it's black.

If you like True Skin, you might like this one too, but it's a no-go for my skin. I'm still waiting for Catrice to release something more hydrating, light and not texture-emphasizing that would work for my dry skin.

I was hoping Essence used the same shade as at the stick version of under eye brightener, which is a good match for me and has a nice brightening effect, but the stick format isn't brilliant on my dry skin. This shade is deeper, closer to Catrice's Under Eye Brightener in a pot, the lightest 010 shade, meaning it's not a pale pink, but a light salmon pink.

Since I'm so pale, I find this doesn't work as well for me. When I use it under a concealer or foundation, that pinkness shines through and just looks like I still have circles, but on skin tones deeper than mine this should work well. 

 

If you like Catrice's version, but would like a liquid format, this is it, though it is a bit lighter. Formula is a nice hydrating one, good for dry skin and it reminds me a lot of their Stay All Day concealer.

Formula is lovely, but I hope they release a lighter shade, something just like their Stick version.

A powder with three colour correcting colours: a pink and peach for under eye brightening and a lilac for counteracting yellow tones. You can also mix all the shades for a neutral powder.

There are three separate compartments and a removable disk that allows you to shake the powder out of just one compartment.

I saw no colour correcting or brightening on my skin tone. I checked the before/after pictures and videos and I don’t think there's a difference, just that it mattifies. Mixed together it also appears to be just a basic mattifying powder. Maybe the colour correcting is more obvious on deeper skin tones. I don't notice any blurring or smoothing on my skin and currently my skin is so dry that this can look obvious on the skin, especially over Catrice's Invisible Cover foundation.

Honestly, this was another miss for me, but it may work a lot better as a basic mattifying powder on oily skin.

I have the pink shade 10 Tickle me Pink, which is one of my favourites. I picked this one online, so it was a blind buy and the colour of the packaging is luckily deceptive. This is a peachy pink, less bright than the Blush Affair Stunning Strawberry, but in the same colour family. Formula is creamy and I can easily swipe it on the cheeks, then blend with fingers. Pigmentation is more intense as at Tickle and the shade is deeper. This shade looks good on the lips too.

This quickly became my most used blush. It's so easy to apply and blend, plus it gives the cheeks an uplifting flush.

The textured part is the cream blush and the other a classic powder one. This is a very intense and pigmented formula on both sides. Both sides are nice quality, as is usual for Catrice's blushes. I only need the smallest amount of both shades, since I'm so pale.

Stunning Strawberry is a vibrant peachy pink shade, much stronger than anything in my collection and both shades have a natural/matte finish. The cream side is a hint more pink. This is best suited for deeper skin tones.

I also have this formula in 03 Soft Beige and 07 Classic Red. Formula is soft and glides on the lips easily. There's an added sharpener in the back, but even without using it, I find it precise enough.

 

It can feel a bit dry on its own, but not always. It doesn't wipe off easily, so it has quite a decent staying power. Cushion Talk is a light-medium mute pink with peach tones.

Usually pastel pencils suck, but this is creamy and has a good colour payoff, though this is a very pale shade, almost off-white. In the waterline it looks more white than blue, but it does brighten the eyes. On the top lash line it doesn't glide as smoothly as for example Deborah 24 Ore Waterproof Eye Pencil, but going over the line twice gives an almost fully opaque look.

I expected more from this, especially after seeing it on video what a nice holographic effect it has. The holo effect is not that visible, not like at my ancient Depend nail polish that has been discountinued. It's more like a basic silver nail polish - still pretty, but I miss more holo reflects. First coat is quite sheer, while full opacity is achieved with three coats.

A deep cool red with a glossy creamy finish. It's opaque in one coat, but for better staying power it's best to apply two.

This applies glossy and it slowly turns matte. It takes over a minute for it to become fully, velvety matte. The matte effect disappears eventually due to any type of oil you might pick up, that includes hand creams.

I've been using Seche vite for many years, but it's hard to get, so I wanted to find a decent alternative. The only thing I care about at top coats is that it dries the nail polish as quickly as possible. Seche Vite does that well, but it thicken quickly, way before you have a chance to use up the bottle. This Catrice version is very decent and easy to get (provided they don't discontinue it, which knowing them will likely happen). It dries the nails almost as quick as Seche, though it's not the promised 40 seconds, but in a minute or two it's dry to the touch, but you still have to be careful to avoid dings for maybe 15 minutes or a half an hour.
