L'oreal Magic Smooth Soufflé Foundation

Hello There Ladies: 

Foundation now a days is like a new innovation, every company is trying to come up with products that will interest their customers. 

I for one am impress with this Soufflé foundation is just the smoothest product it ever touched my face; even more than my other foundation which is the Magic Nude liquid powder also by L'oreal.


 
The packaging is pretty bulky and there is not enough space for a brush to be swirled around as it is a bit small. 
The way I apply is with a flat top kabuki brush, just because with my fingers I don't get an even application and I leave patches in between which isn't very flattering to the face. You can also use a stippling brush, it works just as good. 



My shade is 532 Classic Tan is just the perfect shade for me. It comes in a lot of shades don't know how many exactly but there are lots to choose from.


Due to the new foundation that they are coming out I am not really sure whether is going to be discontinued, I wish they don't buy just in case I bought a back up because I love it so much. 

This is not a new foundation as it been around for quite sometime. 


In the picture above is a swatch of the foundation in here you can see it looks a bit of a mousse finish, and when spread it spreads beautifully I really love it. On the skin it feels lightweight as you have nothing and it covers your imperfections just nicely. 

I hope you have liked this post and please keep coming back for more thanks for reading xoxoxo

L'oreal Magic Nude Liquid Powder Review

Hello There Ladies: 

Its been a month or so since the release of this baby. I was very intrigued by the name and what it promises 
I always want to try new things specially foundations. However not too long ago I was very scared of using any drugstore foundations due to my explosion of pimples all over my face, and the only foundation that I used was the M.A.C Studio Fix as it is a medium to full coverage foundation. 
My skin is a heck of a lot better and i now have very minor scarring, I can use any foundation as long as it covers my imperfections. 
Now this foundation promises just that but before we get into that let's talk about the formula.

This is indeed a liquidy product, very thin in texture, but it turns into a powder form really quick almost instantly. 



The way I apply is with a flat top kabuki brush, however they advise you to use your hands but I don't feel comfortable using them as the application isn't as flawless or maybe I just don't know how to use them. 

In this line they have lots of shades to choose from and the shade that matched my skin was 328 Sun Beige.



Now lets talk about packaging. The bottle is made out glass and can be easily broken if not careful with it. Also it doesn't have a pump if it did, it could make things easier since the formula is very liquidy. Without the pump it could get messy if not careful, just because it can be easily dropped and pour all the content into the floor or much worse into the carpet and can/will stain your carpet yikes!! 

The price ranges from $15-$18 depending on where you buy it. I bought mine at Walmart for $15.98 but I've seen them much more expensive. This is available nationwide at any drugstore.

My thoughts: I love this foundation since I bought it I've been using it nonstop. I like the idea of the liquid turning immediately into powder, and the coverage is just flawless with an airbrush finish.

The finish doesn't leave your skin shiny or it doesn't make your skin oily either. In my opinion this is good for oily to combination skin. I don't recommend this foundation for ladies with dry skin as it can look a bit cakey. 

I would definitely repurchase this and has been added to my favorite products ever.  I hope you have enjoyed this post and have read till the end ... Thanks if you did. Take care xoxo.

Fit Me! Maybelline Foundation Review

Hi There My Lovelies!

Wow! I can't believe I haven't blog in about two weeks or so, did you guys miss me, maybe??? 

For quite sometime I wanted to review this foundation. Fit Me! Is one of my go to foundations. I really love it, this is a lightweight foundation that does an amazing job at covering your imperfections, if they are minor like some scarring of if you have a less than perfect skin. These foundation does have more coverage than your BB Cream as both of them are light to medium coverage. This foundation is build able in layers. 

This is also SPF 18 which is quite nice since many of us is not really into SPF, and you don't really think is necessary to use as a daily thing in your routine. This way you don't have to remember as its already included into the foundation already. 




For picture above is two bottles showcasing two shades; of course one is lighter than the second one. Originally I purchased 220 Natural Beige but it was a bit too light but 230 Natural Buff was just perfect. 

Shade 220 Natural Beige is use for my foundations that I bought that are shades too dark for me and this makes me customize it to my perfect shade, specially for summer when I get darker. 



What does Maybelline Fit Me! foundation promise:

- Matches natural tone
- Blends Seamlessly
- Let's skin breathe

This foundation does let your skin breathe easily and doesn't clog your pores which for someone who is acne prone skin like me, is good and doesn't affect your skin at all. Setting your makeup with a matte powder is a must, as it can look a bit shiny if your skin is an oily type. 

For reference I am an NC 45 in MAC foundations. 


I wish more company's can use pumps for their foundations that way it would be more easier for ladies to get products put rather than get it from a very large opening, which sometimes is really difficult because if you are in a rush and you pour more than usual and you have to put the product back into the container or you end up with too much. 

Overall I really recommend this foundation rather then drugstore BB Creams. 

Where can you get these foundations? Anywhere, where Maybelline is sold these range from $7.96 regular price or $5.99 on sale at any major drugstores like Walmart, Shopper Drugmart, Rexall, etc. 

I Hope you have liked this post and that you follow me either on Facebook or Instagram ... Thanks and take care xoxo
