Review: Maybelline Fit me! Foundation and Concealer


A couple weeks ago I purchased Maybelline's Fit me! Foundation and Concealer. I was looking for a new foundation and concealer since I ran out. I saw the commercials for it on tv and it looked like it would suit me. I never really used liquid foundation before, just clinque's tinted moisturizer and aqua makeup the comes in a tube. I really can't remember but I think I may have used liquid foundation as my first foundation. other than that I was using either cream foundation or powder. I don't really have any problems with my skin so i don't need that much coverage either. The Fit me! foundation is very reasonably priced only around $7. I am the shade 220. The foundation comes in a pour bottle, you have to be careful because it pours out a little too fast and you only need very little of the product. I use my hands to apply it I find it works best for me and I don't have foundation brushes and I really don't think I need to buy any. The thing I don't like about this foundation is that it is greasy, idk if all liquid foundations are but I don't like the greasiness. It is very lightweight, it doesn't feel like you have anything on. It is not heavy coverage. I also purchased the Fit me! concealer. The concealer is nothing special works just like every other one. It comes in a tube like a lip gloss and has a doe foot applicator. It blends well and works great for me. I also want to try out the powder as well.

Review: Maybelline Eye Studio Eye Shadow Quads


You've probably seen these quads from maybelline at your local drugstore. They have been out for awhile now and I have collected a few. I've seen these products get very mixed reviews I guess it depends on the quality eye shadow your used to and what you compare it to. I actually really like the quads. They are very versatile I like to mix them in with other eye shadows both high end and drugstore and they work very well together and you can create a ton of different looks. I also use the quads as a look together. I usually take the lightest color and put it in the inner corner then I take the next color and pit it on the entire lid and the third color I put in the crease and outer corner. I usually just use the first three for a casual day look because the 4th color is usually really dark so I would use it for a night look or if i was going somewhere special. I own three of the quads at the moment they are...


70 Copper Chic- probably my favorite that I own very wearable colors, a champagne color, a pinkish light copper color, a golden brown copper color, and a reddish dark copper color.


90 Irresistibly Ivy- The mix of colors is really different, this is probably my least favorite quad (bought it first though the green color caught my eye it is very unique) but I have found good uses for this quad. The bad thing about this quad is that the colors look terrible together and don't blend together at all. I wouldn't advise to wear them together but they work very well separately. The first color is a nude color which I have found doesn't work with really any look though it could be used for a base, I use it as a powdered form concealer to set under my eyes it really works well for that. The second color is an orangey bronze color probably my least favorite color because it doesn't look very good with my skin tone but it would probably work better for darker skin tones. The third color is a gorgeous aquamarine i have used this color mixed with silver's and dark blues and created a very pretty look. It works best when mixed with other eyeshadows in a look. The fourth color I really like as well its a dark burgundy and I usually use it in a look where I where mac's sable on the lid and the burgundy in the crease.


50 Taupe Tempress- I really like this quad as well its a mix of pinks with silvers. The first color is a vivid white, the second is a very light berry pink, the third is a silver gray, and the fourth is a very dark berry it appears to be lighter than it is but it definitely has charcoal mixed in it so it comes out as a dark gray with berry reflects.
