MAYBELLINE DREAM CUSHION FRESH FACE LIQUID FOUNDATION REVIEW

10:07:00

Hello angels,

Have you ever tried Maybelline BB cushion? Last week they have launched something similar to it which is known as DREAM CUSHION FRESH LIQUID FOUNDATION. I am really excited to try this product. Its for first time I have come across this unique technology a cushion with liquid foundation.Now there are 6 shades available in this range and so you can get any shade matching to your skin tone. I got Natural Ivory shade that was the closest match to my skin tone.

The packaging looks quite similar to BB cushion infact its quite confusing it comes in white round shaped chunky compact with double lid. When you open it there is full size mirror on one side and a puff applicator which is use for dabbing the foundation on to face. When you open secondary lid there is sponge soaked in liquid foundation. So all you need to do is dab your applicator on sponge and apply on your face its easy and travel friendly. I use to love using bb cushion formula for everyday and I expect it to be more like it with little more coverage and here it is. The texture is creamier than I expected it to be it blends beautifully without having to use any moisturizer. Its ultra light weight and works well on normal to combination skin. It gives a luminous skin finish. On application it brightens my complexion and looks fresh. The formula provides enough hydration without making it look oily or dull. Oily skin users can dab some loose powder after application while dry skin users can apply a lightweight moisturiser for smooth and even application. The consistency of the formula is thin. It gives medium coverage which helps to blur out pores and covers some of the marks. After few hrs of application I could see some crease lines around my nose where you probably need to touch up with some loose powder. It almost feels like skin even when applied for long hrs. Doesn’t budge or settle into fine lines. It’s a fragrance free product. You need very little quantity for entire face and neck area. So the product will last longer than you expect. You can build the product as you desire for. You cant refill the sponge. Also it contains SPF20 so its ok to not wear extra spf.

Overall recommended. I love using such formulas on my daily basis also it’s a drugstore product which comes at affordable price. Its much reasonably priced when compared to Maybelline BB cushion. There are 6 shades available which makes is suitable for all skin tones. It’s a fresh liquid foundation on the go.

Natural ivory is for fair skin tone having neutral undertones like MAC NC 25.
Have you tried BB CUSHION OR DREAM CUSHION FRESH FACE which one do you think is better?

NEW LOREAL PARIS TRUE MATCH ROSE LUMI LIQUID ILLUMINATOR REVIEW

02:55:00

Hello angels,

These days Glowy skin is very much in trend. As you all know how much I love highlighters whether they are in liquid, powder or cream form. I just love using them over the past years it has become the most essential product for me.

I was awaiting for L’oreal to launch their True match Lumi range in India and finally its here. There are two shades available Rose and Gold. I got the rose Lumi liquid and Powder Illuminator which I will be reviewing today.

First we will talk about LOREAL TRUE MATCH LUMI LIQUID ILLUMINATOR IN N201 ROSE. The packaging reminds me of NYX BORN TO GLOW. The product comes in a rose gold sleek plastic tube with a metallic cap which is very easy to carry.It has a small nozzle from which the product comes out . You have to press the tube slightly for dispensing the product.

The formula is basically to highlight your key features or you can also mix it with the foundation, cream for illuminating complexion. I loved the ROSE GOLD shade as it perfectly enhances cool skin tones as well as yellow peach tones. It’s creamy formula which is super blendable on skin. The consistency is thick which makes it easy to apply. Even when applied with foundation it doesn’t look heavy or greasy the formula is ultra light and so I like to layer it again on my cheekbones. It does contain fine shimmer which makes my face glowy. It can be used on daily basis or occasionally. The shimmer particles doesn’t show up. It keeps my skin glowy for 6-7 hrs with the primer. For dry skin the formula can cling on dry patches so you have to prep it.

Overall I am obsessed with this highlighter it totally illuminates my skin giving a fresh healthy glow. Also I like layering it for getting a Kim Kardashian glow. Also N201 ROSE shade will suit to all neutral skin tones. It doesn’t smudge and stays well for long hrs. Its like a value for money.

NEW L’OREAL INFALLIBLE MAKEUP EXTENDER SETTING SPRAY

12:30:00

Hello angels,

Finally L'oreal Infallible Makeup Extender Setting Spray is here. I have been waiting for this to launch in india and I finally got my hands on it.

I usually prefer primer over a setting spray when I want my makeup to stay for long hrs. But when I have lots of powder and matte products on my face I tend to fix it with a spray.

This spray is a new oil free makeup setting spray for all those who have been waiting for a drugstore brand they have already got their eyes on it.

Lets take a look!!

I bought this setting spray at 999/-INR which is at affordable price when compared to high end brands like Urban Decay and MAC.

It comes in a black matte plastic bottle with a spray it is used after the makeup application to give lasting finish to makeup.

How to use the instructions are given on bottle on how to put this spray you have to first use it in X and then T motion. This way you will have even distribution of the product all over your face. You have to keep 8-10inch distance for proper application. After spraying it takes few mins to set till that it gives me little wet feeling however it doesn’t make my skin feel tacky or tight.

The texture of the product is micro fine and it doesn’t give big droplets on face like some of the sprays do. I am a girl who loves using primer to make my makeup stay especially when I used cream or liquid products. If I set my foundation with compact powder I use a spray over it. When used over powder this spray gives a soft matte effect it gives a better finish to my makeup . It doesn’t look cakey and also when your powder foundation clings to dry patches it gives refined look. Overall it does make my makeup stay long and it helps my T Zone stay shine free and oil free for 7-8 hrs. It has mild fragrance which just dissipates in the air.

This spray I found is not so worth as the mist really keeps my makeup wet and it takes 2-3 mins for setting it. I usually don’t use fixing sprays as I don’t find them beneficial it just extends my makeup for 2-3 hrs. If you have a dry skin and if you want something which gives you softer finish this spray can be used. I would recommend this spray to be used over powder foundation or mineral foundations rather then liquid or cream based foundation. Personally I don’t see myself using alot. But if you are fan of fixing spray you have already got one from drugstore brand.
Hope you enjoyed reading this review? Have you tried any of the setting sprays yet?
