Today's post was going to a bit more fall-oriented, but I really wanted to talk about a specific product instead (the tea just brewed that way), so let's dive in.
My favorite BB Cream is by Maybelline (see post HERE), so I had some good expectations when I picked up Maybelline's "Fit Me" Foundation. I've heard a lot of makeup lovers talk about this foundation and how great it works for them, how it's a great dupe for some high-end foundations, so the excitement and good reviews were making me think positive thoughts.
However, I went to try out this foundation and was dismayed when I realized it doesn't work whatsoever for my skin. The color I chose was the perfect shade for my face, and the consistency of the product was good - it has great coverage. But the look of the foundation is what I can't get past. It looks extremely cakey and cheap, and the "cakey look" has got to be my biggest foundation pet peeve, and the biggest no no.
I will say that the coverage is amazing. You only need a very thin layer on your face, and your blemishes are completely gone. I really wish that the powdery, cakey problem could be fixed, because I think this would be a great foundation for me if that went away. It's affordable and I also really like the cute packaging, which reminds me a lot of the Nars Foundation packaging.
Sadly, this was a total Foundation Fail - I won't be using this at all in the future. I don't have the heart to throw it away yet because I've only used it twice - the bottle is still full. So it's sitting with my other foundations, looking pretty. At least Maybelline got the packaging right... but I'll stick to my better foundations.
Have you tried any of the Fit Me foundations?
