New at the Drugstore & Reviews!
All of these items were purchased at my local Target (but available at other drugstores)
Maybelline Superstay Better Skin Foundation:$11.99 at Ulta.com
L'oreal True Match Lumi Glow Illuminator in Rose $12.99 at Ulta.com
All of these are new purchases for me, but I made sure to test everything on at least 3 separate occasions if not more. I wanted to give you my immediate review, and my review after several uses! I will of course offer a full review on a product, or it will be in a favorites or fails if anything changes.
They claim to be non sticky, and it is true they are not sticky!
They are also moisturizing as they claim which is nice
They aren't outrageously priced you can always find a good sale on Maybelline.
They are cute and bright so I am a sucker for packaging
If you are wanting something glossy, and moisturizing these will do the trick!
The Cons:
They have no color payoff, so it's pointless to have a shade variety as you can see I went with a light shade and bright shade to give you the color difference.
That is my only Con about them, I was disappointed by the lack of color payoff I got. I did however like having something glossy to put on my lips that was moisturizing. Sometimes chap stick doesn't cut it for me, and this wears great. I hated on them after I first tried them out, if you saw my most recent YouTube video I was disappointed in the lack of color. I gave them a few more tries, and can say that I do like them. I won't buy anymore because lets be honest there will be something new and exciting next month that I want more. However, I say they are worth a try if you are okay with them being sheer I say go for it.
Final Decision: Try it out!
Pro's:
It is affordable because it is drugstore you can use coupons or find sales.
The colors all swirled together are really pretty (don't get much of the white)
The rose shade by itself is quiet gorgeous!
Cons:
The white shade is very chalk like, and very shimmery which is a shame because it is the biggest color in the compact.
You will look like you have white glittery chalk on your face, especially if the light hits you just right.
You will want to get the ELF small stippling brush to try and use the other shades by themselves since they are smaller than the the other shade.
It is more of a glitter than a luminous glow like you would get from Hard Candy Highlighters (also drugstore).
Did I mention hello pores? It really made my pores large and sparkly.
I know my swatches didn't show the glitter fest that this actually was. When I wore it out in public yesterday I was quickly reminded. When I went to take it off, my entire face was shimmery and it did not blend well it set in my pores. I was essentially a hot mess yesterday trying to review these products. I apologize for everyone who saw me yesterday and thought I was a glittery ghost or a twilight cast member (dated reference?). Also after I washed my hands, when I took these photos my hand is covered in shimmery sparkles that just don't want to budge.
Final Decision: PASS
Pro's:
Medium to full coverage, very buildable.
I got a full 6 hours out of it without wear or breaking apart.
After hour 6 I did notice that my forehead and nose started to wear away.
6 hours in this heat was pretty impressive.
I loved the coverage and the finish
Cons:
Only saw 6 shades at both Target and Walmart finding your shade might not happen.
Clogged my pores and broke me out .
I had new breakouts before I got home that evening.
I tried it again the next day to see if it wore any different, and I got more new breakouts which is exactly what I need.
Final Decision:Pass if you have acne prone skin Try it out if your skin isn't sensitive!
I know this post was picture heavy but I wanted to share my mini reviews with you! Have you tried any of these out? Let me know what you think!
Bought these myself!
