MAYBELLINE FIT ME FOUNDATION STICK AND LIMITED EDITION SEQUINS NAIL POLISH

Hi to all,

Maybelline has really been pumping out the products this past few months and most of them have been quite good. Today we will look at Maybelline's FIT ME foundation stick and see how it lives up to it's claim.


The shade I chose is #130 BUFF BEIGE. This foundation stick reminds me a lot of a lighter weight version of Max Factor's PAN STICK, which to me was a phenomenal product. So moving a long the things I do like about this foundation is due to the anti-shine core the product glides on effortlessly and blends out beautifully.

 

I find this product is very dual purpose. I don't know that I would personally wear this and this alone, but I find to conceal blemishes and use under eyes its great.

 

So I have tested this on my entire face and I did notice that I still had shine in my t-zone and after a few hours of wear it does streak a bit from sweating. I generally have very oily skin, so no matter what foundation I use be it high or low end the end result is always the same, shiny and slick. That's even with setting powder and so on.

 However what I find has worked is using the foundation stick in problem areas and then applying my regular foundation over top and I do see that it overall gives a fairly nice flawless complexion.

 

I would say no matter what or how you use this product that touch ups will be in order if you have oily skin.

I must like this product regardless because I do still keep reaching for it.

I have however had a slight break out recently over my nose and I hope it's not this stick. Sometimes an ingredient in mattifying products tend to make me break out. I will keep testing and see what happens. I will try to follow up soon.

 

Overall I give Maybelline's new FIT ME foundation stick a 8/10. I think for someone like me I will really see the benefits of this stick come the cooler months when my face is less apt to being so oily.

 

 

The last two items I wanted to share are the Maybelline Limited Edition Sequin's nail polish. Again I picked glitter and was cursing the whole way to the check out knowing the ridiculous battle I would be dealing with trying to get it back off. Sadly the pretty glitter and colour won me over and landed in my basket, staring up at me laughing and saying "HAHA sucker you fell for our prettiness and sparkle yet again" **SIGH**

 

 

The first colour is a blueish/purple glitter with larger hot pink glitter throughout and that one is called SAPPHIRE MASQUERADE, the second one is a rose gold pink glitter with larger glitter that again is hot pink and also in this one iridescent its called ROSE BLING.

 

I sadly think I just love glitter, but maybe not so much nail polish. I think I will be toning down how many polishes I buy in the future. I am always busy with other things and don't really have a lot of time to dedicate to fussing over my nails. Now that summer is here I especially don't have time and my nails are really short for now. So unless your a person who diligently does your nails with perfection and are afforded the time to do so, I say skip the sparkle.

 

The thing that surprises me most with glitter polish is that no matter what it still chips just like any other polish and yet its so darn hard to get off, go figure.

 

Each polish is 7ml and was $2.97 at Walmart in Canada

 

Thanks for reading and come back soon

 

 

STAY BEAUTIFUL
