The Perfect "FIT"

Maybelline FIT Me Foundation: $6.49 (Target.com)

I know it's been some time since I last posted an entry, sorry for lagging! But this product definitely made me want to blog away!! I first read about it in a beauty magazine explaining it to be one of the first drugstore foundations that offers the largest variety of shades (18 total). I'm not a huge foundation fan in general for every day wear, but I'm always looking for that particular something that will help make my skin look flawless for big events and special occasions. And, my general rule of thumb is for concealer and foundation I tend to go to department stores because you can really test out the colors and the higher-end brands offer more variety. So, I was so excited to try this when I read about it..and I'm SO glad I did! It seriously is competition for some of the best name brand foundations out there (think Bobbi Brown, Estee Lauder, etc). Now for matching the color, I definitely opened the bottles to test them out while at Target (I mean come on, who doesn't really do this!), but the consistency is so nice. It's really light and blends in so naturally, while still offering a ton of coverage. I wore it all day out just to see how well it would last and it did just that! For a mere $7, it's even cheaper than some of the other drugstore brands and I promise it delivers! So, try it out before heading out for your next bottle of foundation that's over $40!

PS- When weather changes, so does the consistency and coloring of our skin, but that doesn't mean you have to completely stop using your current concealer/foundation. If you have an expensive product you already have, just pair it with a lighter/darker shade of a less expensive foundation to mix and blend the perfect shade for your current complexion.
