Maybelline Fit Me Dewy & Smooth: Review

-

⋆I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes. As always, all opinions are my own.⋆

 I have no prior experience trying either primer or foundation, so I really have nothing to compare these products to. In my makeup routine I only ever used concealer, which I mentioned in my previous review of the Colourpop No Filter Concealer. I was very excited to receive the Maybelline Master Prime Hydrate + Smooth Primer, as well as the Maybelline Fit Me Dewy + Smooth Foundation courtesy of Influenster! 

Master Prime Hydrate + Smooth Primer


 As I previously mentioned, I have never tried any primers at all, because I always just had the feeling that it was gimmicky and doesn't really do anything to prolong your makeup. 

I have tested this primer out several times and I don't really think it does anything for my skin besides add an unnecessary extra layer of product.

I have not experienced this clogging my pores, giving me breakouts, irritating, or doing anything bad to my skin, the problem is that it just doesn't do anything positive either. 

I will continue to use this to see if there is any long-term benefits of it, but I will likely not be repurchasing it if I ever run out.

Fit Me Dewy + Smooth Foundation


I have the shade 110 Porcelain, the lightest shade sold. There are 16 shades in total for the dewy finish and 24 for the matte finish, which is a pretty good range for the drugstore. 

I blend it with my fingers, which works really well since it is such a lightweight consistency. This method is actually recommended by Maybelline on their website, too. It has medium coverage, which is just enough for my preference. It has a natural dewy finish, which I appreciate since I have very dry skin and matte products tend to just accentuate the dryness even more. If you have oily skin, there is also a Fit Me Matte + Poreless Foundation that may be a better option for your skin. 

It lasts all day with and without the Master Prime Hydrate + Smooth Primer, but it is slightly more dewy with the primer. I don't set it with powder since I really like the natural glow it gives off for the skin.

I love that there is SPF 18 in this foundation (not in the matte finish), which will be even better for me in the summer. I have heard that SPF can sometimes make the skin irritated or cause breakouts, but I have not had any bad reactions to it yet. Everyone's skin is different, though so just be aware that yours may react differently. 


One of the only issues I have with this product is that there is no pump on the bottle, making it messy and difficult to get the right amount of product out of the bottle without wasting it. The glass bottle itself is nice quality, especially for the price, but it would make a huge difference to have a pump attached. 


Out of the two items I received from Influenster this time, the foundation is by far my favorite. I really like the way it looks on my skin and is something that I have been using every day since I got it in the mail. When I run out, I will definitely be repurchasing. It is so affordable and just an overall high quality product.

ARIANA GRANDE GOD IS A WOMAN FRAGRANCE REVIEW

-
Image
When all is said and done, you'll believe God is a Woman!  I absolutely love all of the  fragrances   Ariana Grande  has released over the years, so when I found out that she was coming out with another I was so excited! Her song " God is a Woman " is also so iconic and one of my all-time favorites, so that made me look forward to it even more. I have been using it consistently for several months so I will able to give the most in-depth review I possibly can of this product. In the United States , God is a Woman  is sold exclusively at Ulta in three sizes; 1 oz for $45, 1.7 oz for $55, and 3.4 oz for $65. A travel size bottle is also available for $24. This pricing is consistent throughout the rest of Ariana's fragrances, so if you were looking to purchase another scent this is the range to expect. It is also available internationally at select retailers. God is a Woman  is cruelty free, 100% vegan and made with clean ingredients that are 91% naturally der...

SAFIYA NYGAARD x COLOURPOP COLLECTION REVIEW 🦇♥

-
Image
For my first post of  the new year, I wanted to share my thoughts on one of my favorite makeup releases, the Safiya Nygaard x Colourpop collection ! Safiya is one of my favorite YouTubers and Colourpop is my favorite makeup brand, so this is a really exciting collaboration!  Safiya consistently makes a variety of really high quality and interesting videos that mainly focus on beauty and fashion. I admire how much time and research she puts into what she does, all of the work that is put into these videos really shows in the finished product. If you haven't watched her channel before, I really can't recommend it enough!  In August 2017, she started a series called " bad makeup science ", which is the basis of this new Colourpop lipstick collection. There are 6 lipstick shades that correlate with a shade she created in one of her videos. You can check out the playlist of videos that inspired her collection here . I recently re-watched the whole series again...

HIT ME HARD AND SOFT (isolated vocals) by Billie Eilish // 2024 Record Store Day Exclusive Vinyl

-
Image
Happy Record Store Day! One of my most anticipated releases for the Black Friday drop this year was a special version of Billie Eilish 's incredible album HIT ME HARD AND SOFT , which features only her isolated vocals. You can only slightly hear parts of the instrumentals in the background because she recorded the songs without headphones, but this variant of the album puts a major emphasis on only her gorgeous vocals. It's a really cool concept, it almost sounds like you're in the studio with her hearing it recorded live.  There is so much depth to her vocal comps with all of the hidden vocals and ad libs that are hidden underneath the production. There are so many small details that otherwise get buried in each song that now get the chance to fully shine. Billie and Finneas ' creative process is so fascinating, and this record give a glimpse into the way all of these songs came together. An album like HIT ME HARD AND SOFT  is meticulously produced and every layer is s...

My Thoughts on the Gigi Hadid x Maybelline Collection

-
Image
credit :  twitter.com/gigihadid Gigi Hadid has been the face of Maybelline for about 2 years and has been apart of several campaigns for the brand. I was really excited when I initially heard that Gigi and Maybelline collaborated on a full collection. I assumed that I would be able to recreate Gigi's makeup looks for less, but that just isn't the case. Today, I'm going to be giving my opinions on this collection to help you further determine if you should spend your money on it. The biggest gripe I have with this collection is that it is far too overpriced for Maybelline products. I have been noticing that some drugstore brands have been increasing the price of their new products, but I don't understand why since many times the brands aren't doing anything different to justify the large increase in the price. Maybelline does make some of my favorite products, especially when it comes to concealer and mascara, but they have also made really poor quality ...

BILLIE EILISH HAPPIER THAN EVER // ALBUM REVIEW

-
Image
Billie Eilish's sophomore release is finally here and I'm happier than ever about it! In some ways, the album is quite a departure from her debut, but in the best way possible. When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?  set the stage for what this decade in music is going to be because it was truly unlike any other modern release in recent memory, one whose success and impact will likely never be fully replicated again. She has never tried to be anyone other than herself, which makes her journey of monumental success at such a young age so much more inspiring.  With that being said, the idea of a follow-up release must have come with a lot of pressure to make something just as good, if not better, than the last one. Happier Than Ever is a chronicle of the events that followed her meteoric rise to fame since 2019, from her perspective. There has always been so much talk in the media about the way she dresses, her body, her relationships, whether or not she "deserves" a...
