MAYBELLINE - Fit Me!

 BRAND: Maybelline
PRODUCT: Foundation 120

Here goes my second review of many. I am really enjoying this actually because I love to write, and try new things!

This review is based on first time use of this product, and I will give another review in a month.

My overall first impression for this product is so-so.
The price of this procduct is reasonable for the budget friendly spenders, so long as you get it at WalMart. I bought this at Shoppers Drugmart so I paid about 11$.
This foundation gets a big bonus because there is a zero smell to it unlike the foundation from my previous review.

Other than the oiliness of this foundation. I also don't find it very reliable for all day wear.  Just after a few hours after I found that it "melted" into lines of my face or and "pot holes". Mostly within the lines of my neck and left my neck to look dirty and unwashed.


APPLICATION:The way I applied this foundation as I do all foundation at this moment is a clean angled sponge. I first pour a small dollop of foundation into the palm of my hand and dap my sponge into it and then to my face. 
Next I will try using a foundation brush to apply the liquid instead of the sponge and see if that changes anything.

Once I have finished applying the foundation I find that it feels oilily even with a setting powder.
 



BRAND: Maybelline 
PRODUCT: Pressed Poweder - 120.

This is the setting powder that goes with the foundation. The only product I did not buy in this line was the 
concealer. I've never been much of a concealer person, but I'm going to get to it eventually.

First impression of this product, not very impressed to be honest. The powder is pressed, and I like to use my brushes to apply powder and I find it hard to grab any of the product.

Although I enjoy the cute little compact duo mirror & compartment, I didn't like the powder puff that comes with the compact. I haven't used this yet, but I will try. I don't like that fact that there is no band to slip your fingers through on the backside of the powder puff. It would make using it a lot easier then holding an edge of the puff. 



Price wise - again I paid for this at Shoppers Drug-mart, so I paid more than I had too as this was about 11$ there, and it is 8$ at Walmart. I could have gone to Walmart, but I was too lazy (haha).

OVER ALL: 
At this moment, I'm not really sold on using this product in the future based on the oiliness feeling I get from the foundation. I will continue to use this product for the month and give another review.
