Hello lovelies!
I'm useless I know, I
can hear you all shouting at me from various corners of the planet... I haven't
posted properly in a few weeks because I've been spoiled rotten and having been
jetting about all over the place on little holidays and such. So there has been
lots of time for beauty splurges and no time to tell you about them!
But today I want to
share with you this great little product I've found from Maybelline's Fit Me
foundation. Up until this point I've not been incredibly impressed with the Fit
Me range (although as a general rule I do love Maybelline products) but I love
this product and it's one I'd definitely recommend!
Depending on your
foundation preferences, this might be the perfect product for you. If, like me,
your prefer your foundation to be matte then this will be right up your street.
Maybelline describe it as a 'gel stick' with an 'anti-shine core' which gives you
a lovely matte finish. As you can see, it comes in this little tube so it's
dead easy to apply and it's quite creamy so it blends incredible easily with
your fingers (I haven't yet tried blending with a foundation brush yet but if
any of you have and think it's easier - let me know in the comments!)
I wouldn't say the
coverage is brilliant and I don't generally use it as a full blown foundation,
especially if I know I'm going to be out for the whole day and probably won't
have much opportunity to sort out my make up through the day, in that case I tend
to wear something with a higher coverage that has more staying power. But
that being said, I think it's great as a light foundation for summer when the
weather is a bit warmer because it's natural, barely feels like you're wearing
any make up and it stops your looking shiny too.
It's a lovely, handy
size and shape too to just pop in your bag and take with you on the go for
touch ups through the day. And the packaging is quite something, don't you
think? I love it! It comes in 6 shades - Ivory, Classic Ivory, Buff Beige,
Natural Beige, Sun Beige, Soft Honey. It's not a brilliant shade range but for
a new product testing the waters I think it's done okay. I wear mine in Classic
Ivory as I'm quite fair skinned but there are shades for those of your with a
darker complexion.
It's not the cheapest
of foundation products priced at £8.99 from Boots and Superdrug but it is one
of those products you'll use all the time and definitely get your money's
worth.
Have you guys tried
this product? What did you think?

I didn't like the original fit me foundation (it was far to orange for me!) but this one looks really intersting, although I would find it weird applying it from the stick, it just reminds me of a giant concealer :p x

I felt the same about the original! Haha it does look like a giant concealer! But I guess that's the beauty of it, especially if you just need to touch up your nose/cheeks during the day!
DeleteThanks for reading my post! :) x
