Maybelline FitMe Dewy Foundation

I received two products from Influenster to test out. The Maybelline FitMe Dewy Smooth Foundation and the Master Prime primer that is the Hydrate and Smooth base.  Here is a picture of both products:



Foundation/Primer:
The foundation is super lightweight and has decent amounts of coverage. I would say it starts off medium and it can be built up to have addition coverage without looking caky. I am someone who has very dry skin to the point where I have patches that are sporadically on my face that are very dry in comparison to other spots on my face, and my nose always has had some type of flaky appearance even after using other drugstore or high-end primers. Using both the hydrating primer (pictured) and the foundation I find that my uneven dry patches are non-existent, my whole  face looks flawless and radiant. Looking at my nose throughout the day there really is no more flaky patches or uneven skin coming through. This combo is lightweight that I wear it every single day, but I also feel confident using it when I know there is going to be a lot of picture moments. I have also tested it out by the pool and it doesn't melt off my face while catching a tan!


I did receive this products complimentary for testing but all my thoughts and opinions are my own.

MILANI CONCEAL + PERFECT 2-IN-1 FOUNDATION + CONCEALER

The Drugstore is popping out new makeup like no tomorrow. This is very exciting for us girls who love to get more bang for our buck!

Milani recently released this new foundation:

I got the shade 07 Sand from my local super Walmart and it's a 100% match :) for about $9.99

I don't use full coverage foundations often. I've had about 3 of them in the past but usually I'm on the go or playing sports and that doesn't require full coverage. 

However, I was interested in this foundation because of it's waterproof and sweat-proof claims. I work at a pool and the Maybelline BB cream works excellent but it will eventually wear off so I was curious as to what this foundation's staying power was.

I am certainly impressed with this foundation! It last 4 hours in the pool when teaching swimming lessons and putting my face in the water continuously. When doing lap swimming back and forth across the pool it lasts for awhile but when getting out I notice there is still coverage but it's only slight. It wears down nicely though and doesn't make me look like I'm melting in the water.

Gym proof: I don't really like wearing foundation to the gym because sweat + makeup = possibility for acne. I put this foundation to the test several times and it held up; but when wiping sweat away the foundation will come off as well.

It's currently my go to foundation for going out all day and for special occasions/going out at night with the girls. It's literally no fuss and I don't have to worry about it coming off my face. 

It does look a little dewy but the key point is to NOT use alot of product. The more product you use the shinier and greasier you will look. I recommend using a sponge because it kinds of shears out the product so you just look dewy but still have that full coverage.

As for the concealer claim: it will completely get rid of the small imperfections/blemishes on your face. For under-eye blue circles it will try it's best but ultimately you will need to use another concealer on top of that.

Hope that helps :)
