Pink Picks: Neutrogena Healthy Skin Makeup


This foundation has been my new found love. 
I used to wear the Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse
religiously but it honestly stopped impressing me.
I grew frustrated with the fact that it dried up and gave
me flaky looking patches in my skin.
 While at first use I thought 
it accentuated my dry spots it actually was my facial that why drying my face out.
I really like how natural this looks on. It blends easily without being cakey
or heavy on the face. 



What I really like about it it's smell and texture. It's thin enough
to blend easily but it doesn't become streaky or dries too quickly.
I have this in Nude and while it would normally be a bit 
on the darker side for me I have been fake tanning a little bit with a product
that will be coming up soon, so right now Nude is a really good fit for my skin tone.


I picked this up for 75% off at Rite Aid but it's normally around $13.00.
A good pick :)

What is your favorite foundation?


First Review: Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse Foundation

This is my first review so let's just step right into it!

First off, Maybelline's Dream Matte Mousse foundation is my favorite
foundation to use on the go. It doesn't require much blending, the coverage is great and it lasts for a couple of hours.




COVERAGE (1-10):
An 8 because although it covers well it is a mousse so don't expect
full coverage.

LASTING POWER:
It lasts for a couple of hours (maybe 3?) and then it becomes absorbed.

COMPACTNESS/SIZE:
It's quite small so it can even fit in your pocket (not that anyone would),
I carry it in a small makeup bag in my purse. The amounts are:
.64 oz. 18g.

FEEL/CONSITENCY/SMELL:
The feel is just look a mousse, it's very lightweight and it doesn't require much
blending as I said before. Although it looks quite dark in the package when you
apply it to the face it's much lighter. This foundation for me is more yellow toned,
so if you have yellow tones you might want to try this foundation out. The smell
is a really light, lotion-y type of smell. I don't mind it at all.

Final thoughts:
This foundation works for me, the only problem that I have with it is if you put it on
and have dry skin, it will go over the skin and emphasize the dry parts of it.
I have combo skin so I make sure to mosturize before I apply this foundation so I don't
end up with dry looking patches on my skin. Other than that I really like this foundation
and will continue to buy it. I bought it for $3.50 at Big Lots but they have it for around $7.00
at drugstores.
