I'm just feeling so flat at the moment, the only thing that could possibly cheer me up was another random make up purchase.
So I ended up caving in and trying the new launch from Maybelline. I heard word of this product late last year and at first, I couldn't wait for it to launch.
Then, I tried a tester when it finally landed in stores and I just... Didn't like it. I thought it was really liquidy and it didn't seem to give any real coverage. Plus, I was really annoyed because the shop had testers, but no product to actually buy. Is that weird or what?!? What is the point of having a tester if people can't actually buy any? But I thought I'd had a lucky escape in the end as I wasn't impressed by trialling it and I also read a few reviews where people said the coverage was really bad and they hated it.
However, I can safely say there must have been some kind of an issue with the first tester I tried, because seeing it again today, curiousity got the better of me and I tested some again.
I want to like it, because I love Dream Matte Mousse, but that can sometimes be too drying. And like it I did this time. It seemed to give far superior coverage to the tester I tried before- still light but much more pigmented and gave a really nice, smooth finish.
Although the foam texture takes some getting used to, and is very liquid when you start rubbing it in, I did like the light, glowing finish it gave my skin.
With it on, skin feels really smooth. It doesn't need any powder on top and it gives a demi-matte finish, which is less dense than the mousse.
So I've gone from being desperate to try it, to being initially unimpressed, to actually quite liking it.
I think it may well be more suited to the summer time, but although the finish is average to nice, if you want an easily blendable, lightweight base, it's a good one to have in your bag of tricks.
