Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse : Reviews & Swatches :)

I'm not even gonna put any suspense into this. I LOVE this foundation. It has been my everyday foundation since it first came out. I used it once and fell in love. <3 Read below for more details. =D

The color I'm reviewing is Nude. I am OCD about my foundation being matte. I do not like to shine or anything of the sort. lol. It also does really well with covering pores and fine lines. The last swatch is just the foundation without any primer, and you can see it does a great job covering by itself. Also, I did the swatch on my right hand because of my scar. You can see from the pictures that it easily covered the redness of my scar, so imagine what it can do for blemishes! The only thing that disappointed me this time was the look of it when I opened it. It usually looks amazing, but I did drop it a few times at the store. =/ lol. Occasionally, you will get one that looks like that when you open it up, but it doesn't bother the foundation. It works just the same. =)

I am definitely recommending that you go try this foundation. =D

I paid $7.94 plus tax for this item.

Mary Kay Mineral Eye Color ; Review & Swatches :)

I'll admit it, I'm a bit of an eyeshadow junkie. My eyes are my favorite facial feature, so I always like to play them up with pretty eyeshadows. As mineral eyeshadow goes, $3.50 is pretty cheap, so my guard was automatically up with this item. Did it pass my test?

The color I'm reviewing is called Amber Blaze. For some reason, a goldish color was missing from my eyeshadow collection. How in the world does that happen?? lol. So, I purchased this from my Mary Kay representative. This eyeshadow is impressively pigmented. The swatch on my hand is from me simply pressing my finger in the eyeshadow and rubbing it across my hand. Crazy, right? The shadow went on simply and smoothly with zero fallout. I layered it with a darker brown, and it looked amazinggg.

There was only one con to this. For some reason, on my eye, this color was a bit more orangey than I thought it would be. It was still beautiful, but not the rich gold that I assumed it would be. Overall, I would definitely recommend this product and will probably be buying more colors in the future. :)
