Quick Post: Maybelline Fit Me samples from walmart.com

 Last month, or so, I signed up for these Maybelline Fit Me samples and I finally received them in the mail today. As we all know, drugstore foundations can get a little tricky when searching for our ideal shade. It's such a hastle to purchase what you think is your shade and go home, only to find out it's not the right match! Frustrating right?!

In order to motivate more people to purchase drugstore foundations/concealers, I really urge drugstore companies/brands, to participate in samples such as the ones down below, if not, at least have in-store testers available. Now, wouldn't that be great?! ;)

NOTD: Maybelline Express Finish in Blue Brilliance

I went to my Bed Bath & Beyond yesterday to pick up some cough medicine for my sister, poor baby! =/ But knowing me, I had to stop by the beauty section! ;) I didn't spot anything new, but I finally saw the Maybelline Spring 2011 Collection. Here are a few pics.

Maybelline Express Finish Nail Polish: $2.99 ea.

(I had a $1 off coupon good towards any Maybelline item, making the polish down below $1.99! HOLLAAA!!!)

649 Blue Brilliance: A gorgeous light blush grey w/ a pinky lavender duochrome.

The other shades were all nice as well, but this one really caught my attention. I mean, who doesn't need another duochrome to add to their collection?! ;)

Left: Sheer Disguise 

Middle & Right: Sheer Disguise + 2 coats of Blue Brilliance

I decided to layer Maybelline Blue Brilliance with my existing manicure in Color Club's Sheer Disguise. Click here for a detailed review/description of Color Club's Alter Ego Collection.

I tried my absolute best to try and capture the true beauty of this duochrome, but it was almost impossible. The pinky finger in the middle picture and the thumb in the right picture were the closest I could get to accuracy, but it still does not do this nail polish any justice.

As always, hope this helps & happy shopping!

On the Hunt

I was so excited to find this product after reading about it on my favorite bloggers blog. =) I went to my local Bed Bath & Beyond yesterday and to my surprise, there was an entire display. What made this "hunt" even more great was that in front of each liquid foundation, there was a tester! Anytime there is a tester, it makes it a lot easier for us to find our "ideal" shade. After looking at about 5 diff. shades, i decided to pick up the color 220 Natural beige. This color matches my skin to a "T". I've never really found my perfect match for a drugstore liquid foundation until yesterday.

My overall opinion

I cannot rave enough about this product and for $5.99 a piece, it's def. a drugstore steal! I use MAC sheer pressed powder on a daily basis, but when I want more coverage or on special occasions, i use my Maybelline Dream Smooth Mousse Foundation... But let me tell you now, Maybelline Fit Me completly blew the Maybelline Dream Smooth Mousse Foundation out of the water!

On my skin it gives me a slight "dewy look" or a "light sheen", which isn't too over the top and makes it great since I have combination oily skin.  I really only need about a "pea size" amount to cover my entire face. I have no trouble with the products blendability. It isn't cakey & leaves my skin feeling smooth, light, and natural; as if I have nothing on. Gives me an airbrushed look. It gives me light-to-medium coverage which is perfect if you don't have much to cover but want to even out your skin. I like to set this with the Palladio Rice Powder in warm beige then spray Urban Decays De Slick setting spray all over my face.  I purchased this product yesterday morning, then went home to test it out. It lasted me the entire day w/out any creasing/caking.  I will def. be heading to Bed Bath & Beyond to pick up another bottle!
