Swatch: Maybelline Fit Me Blush in Deep Rose

Hi Guys!

This is a quick post on a blush i picked up a few months ago from CVS for $6.59. I generally do not buy Maybelline products (don't ask me why, they just don't appeal to me) but i saw this color and thought it looked really pretty.

Here's a close up of the brush that comes with the blush:

Blush in pan:

And finally the blush on skin:

I have to tell you, i had to swipe my finger across the pan a few times to get it to show this much against my skin. Here is what my finger looked like after running it across the pan 4-5 times before applying on skin:

So basically if you like a subtle matte rose blush that gives your skin a slight hint of color this blush is perfect. It gives the skin a natural look flush, and even if your heavy handed you can't go overboard with it.

 

Review: Lancome Mousse Radiance Clarifying Self-Foaming Cleanser

Hello!

So i wanted to give a quick review of Lancome's Mousse Radiance clarifying Self Foaming Cleanser.

Previous to this i was using a Neutrogena cleanser (the blue one i cant remember the name) and while it was good, i felt like it wasn't getting my skin clean enough. I don't want my skin squeaky clean but i like that fresh "ah" feeling if you know what i mean. Just so you know, my skin type is combination: oily T zone, sensitive patches (hello eczema), and oily/normal/dry cheeks depending the season so any cleanser i buy has to accomodate all of these issues and not cause any additional problems. I am happy to say this this cleanser handled all of my skin issues and left my skin feeling clean, not irritated at all and normal all around.

I use one full pump at night:

It comes out all nice and foamed up. In the morning i use half a pump since my face is not really dirty (if you have a small face unlike mine then you can probably get away with half a pump).

Here's my face covered in cleanser:

(note: the cleanser dried alittle while taking pics so i had to add more to my face, its not normally this foamy)

 

And here's my freshly cleansed face:

 

Hah that pose it so cheesy.

 

I have been using this cleanser for roughly 5-6 months now, and i can say that it has never left my face feeling dry, tight, scummy (like the soap hasnt completely washed off), or itchy. It is a little pricey @ $32 for 6.8fl oz, but if i can spend $38 on an eyeshadow palette (hello NARS) then i think it is silly to squirm at spending just as much on skin maintenance. At least thats how i justify it to myself :p

I definitely will be buying this again once this one has finished.

And in case anyone cares, i am wearing China Glaze-  Blue Sparrow (neon) on my nails.

Thanks for reading :)
