One Minute Review | Maybelline Color Sensational Vivid Matte Liquid Lip Color

Another Matte Lipstick?!

I purchased my Maybelline Vivid Matte Liquid Lip Color for $7.99 at my Local Ulta. There are a total of 10 shades available, I have Nude Flush.

Application

The application is easy. The doe-foot applicator is a little stiff but it’s manageable. The color is very pigmented. It doesn’t apply streaky or patchy. I don’t notice any tugging either. There is a fragrance present. It doesn’t bother me but I have heard some people complain. 

Finish

It's a light pink lipstick with a satin, almost glossy, finish. The claim of a matte finish is bizarre, at best it’s a satin matte...if I blot it. I kind of feel like Maybelline put liquid matte on it just for extra sales. We all know liquid matte lipstick is trending, and that’s how they make more money. It really bothers me when companies are shady like that!

Texture

The texture is very mousy and creamy. When I press my lips together I can feel the lightweight texture smoosh between my lips. It’s actually quit entertaining. 

Wear / Time

The wear time is very short, usually about 3-4 hours, less if I eat. Towards the end, it does have more of a matte appearance and it looks like a soft stain. When I wear it I don’t notice too much drying but I can tell there is some dryness happening. 

Overall, it’s ok for what it is. I do recommend something else if you’re after a true liquid lipstick, like Colourpop's Ultra Matte Liquid lipsticks.

Quick Review | Maybelline Master Prime Long-Lasting Eyeshadow Base

Eye primer is one of those things I hate spending money on. I know its important but my goodness, it's a hard product to get excited about.

The only way I'll truly look forward to buying it is if the primer is from the drugstore. I love a good deal on anything but especially boring cosmetics like primer.

I bought mine for $7.99 in the Prime & Matte formula. The other two finishes are: Prime & smooth, and Prime & Illuminate. 

If you're familiar to my blog, you already know I love Milani's primer and it's affordable just like Maybellines. Now let's see how the Maybelline version performs!

My first test for the primer is color enhancement and payoff. The first day I received it I swatched it on my arm and applied sheer shadow over the swatch. As you can see in the picture above, the primer does provide a nice tacky base for eye shadow. I honestly don't feel the tackiness to the touch much but I can tell its there by how the shadow clings to the primer. It really helps with making shadows a lot more prominent in color. Just keep in mind the base will need to be set if you're going to do any blending. This primer, just like other primers, can make the crease area look patchy if product is applied directly on top of the primer for blending.

Now does it help eye makeup last longer? Mostly, but it is average at tackling longevity. It's not necessarily bad but it's certainly not the best I have tried. It's truly just average. If you're on the hunt for a better oil control eye primer, try Milani's. For my semi-oily eyes, Maybelline's Master Primer provides a crease-less wear for 6-8 hours. 

Does it neutralize darkness on my eye lids? Not really. I actually thought my eye lids looked darker on my pale skintone. The tone to this primer is warm and semi-pigmented. It has just enough pigment to add color but not eough to conceal color. Its sheerness actually makes my skin look more uneven. However, that personally doesn't bother me too much because I'm going to cover it with eye shadow anyways.  One thing I do like about the primer is for adding extra warmth in my crease. It adds a little extra something in the crease to help fade out my eye shadow. But because of this, keep in mind it may look terrible with cool-toned looks, unless you completely cover the warmth.

The packaging for the Maybelline Master Primer is super nice. It reminds me a lot of the new Vivid Matte Lips they just released. It comes in a square, clear plastic tube with a doe-foot applicator. The wand is really flexible and comfortable to use. Maybelline nailed the packaging. 

Overall, I guess this primer is pretty good but I still feel like it's just average. I cant say if the other two formulas perform like the matte but I'm sure they work about the same. It does provide a decent wear time, and help enhance color payoff. However, my favorite is still the Milani primer. I will continue using this one, and who knows, maybe I'll try the other formulas if I come across a promising sale. For the price I say try it if you're curious but don't purchase it if your solely searching for a holy-grail. 

Have you tired the other two formulas? What is your opinion on this primer? Let everyone know in the comments below!

Pros

• Smooth
• Creamy
• Packaging 
• Price
• Blends easily
• Enhanced color payoff
• Smooth finish
• Different finishes
• Adds some extra longevity 

Cons

• Just average
• A little too warm
• Can be uneven

Review | Maybelline Master Contour Face Contouring Kit

 Use to I would tell everyone to buy a foundation powder a couple shades darker than their skin if they wanted a contour powder for a reasonable price. We can all still do that but now we finally have the option to buy an affordable contour kit from the drugstore. Thank goodness!

This spring we have the luxury of picking from many new contour kits dropping into drugstores like rain but for now the only one I have spotted is the Maybelline FaceStudio Master Contour Kit. 

I found mine at Ulta for $12.99. There are two color options- Light to Medium or Medium to Deep. I chose the light option since I have fair skin. Both palettes contain one contour powder, one blush and one highlight. I do think the medium to deep palette has a cooler contour powder (I think). It will probably be their best seller of the two. I kind of wish I also picked it up too, even though I love this one.

Natural lighting

Contour 1

We'll start with the highlight of the palette, the contour shade. The contour shade is the softest powder in the kit. It blends easily with a fluffy brush. It's smooth, pigmented and doesn't kick up much powder. I don't find it to be chalky or patchy. It does last on all day (about 8 hours).

  Although it is a contour powder, I think of it more as a bronzer. It can still be used as a contour shade if you're light handed. The tone is warmer, girls with cool undertones probably won't like this powder for contouring. If you have neutral or warm undertones it may work for you. My undertone is neutral and I can get it to work if I lightly contour. I wouldn't recommend using it for sharp contouring. 

Natural lighting 

Blush 2

I like the formula of this blush. It's smooth, pigmented and bendable. However, I don't find the color to be particularly unique. The shade may already exist in your collection but if not, It's a great addition. It doesn't fade away in patches or accentuate my acne. I like it enough that I would purchase it in a single. The wear time is the same as the bronzer (about 8 hours).

Natural lighting 

Highlight 3

The drugstore is not loaded with great highlighters. So when I do find one I like, I usually praise it. To me, this whole kit is worth the money just for the highlighter. I'm not saying it's the only good thing this kit has to offer but it is what stands out the most. It's really creamy and non-chalky. When applied it doesn't look like powder sitting on top of the skin or frosty. It gives off a subtle but glowy vanilla highlight. The wear time clocks in around 6 hours or longer if a setting spray is used. 

This kit did come with little brush...I hate to break it to ya, but it's pretty useless. The size of it is too small for contouring or applying blush. You could use it for highlighting but it's a little scratchy. Mine has a new home in the trash can.

The packaging is slim and black. It does not come with a mirror, boo! I haven't had any problems with the powders popping out but some people have. If that does happen, super glue will work just fine to pop them back into place. 

Overall, I really like this palette. I promise everyone can use the contour shade like we want to but it makes a great bronzer. Or like I said, it depends on the person, it can be used as a contour shade if you're careful or have the correct skintone. Just don't build it up so much that it looks too warm.
 I find that all three formulas are really good. I didn't experience patchiness, odd fading, or trouble blending. I'll definitely continue using it, especially when I travel! It makes a great travel palette if you're makeup bag is small. 

Artificial lighting 

Let me know in the comments below if you plan to purchase this kit! And if you already have, what do you think about? Does the contour shade work for you? 

Pros

• smooth 
• pigmented 
• blendable 
• long wearing
• non patchy
• fades evenly
• great for travel
• packaging 
• good formula
• price

cons

• no mirror
• lacks a broad color selection
• unusable brush
• contour is a little warm

Beauty haul and mini reviews- Too Faced, Lorac, Clinique, NYX, Physicians Formula +more

There's is only one thing about the beginning of the year that is good, and that's new makeup. I have always felt like the first few months after December are cold and dreary but new releases just brighten up the beginning of the year. So of course I have done my share of damage and picked up a few of the latest things in the beauty world. I like to blame it on my blog and say I purchased everything to review but honestly, I'm a beauty junkie and I would have purchased everything anyways. Please tell me you have the same problem! 

Not everything is new. I found some deals and picked up some oldies. I also needed to restock on a few things, including NYX's Dewy Setting Spray. The majority of everything is new, though. How exciting! I didn't go out and just purchase this in one outing. This haul is probably about two weeks worth. I ordered online and went to stores. To buy each product click on the price listed beside the name of the product. 

Lorac Cosmetics Unzipped Gold palette $42- I have used this palette a few times and I'm majorly impressed. The shadows are smooth and rich. It doesn't take much to blend them out. There's one intense gold shade in the palette that resembles a pigment and I'm just blown away by how pretty it is. I will have a review of this palette  up as soon as possible. 

Lorac Cosmetics Unzipped Cheek palette $30- I have only used this palette twice but so far everything is good. I want to go ahead and review the City Color Cosmetics blush palette and get that one out of the way. After that I'll post my full review of this palette around the same time as the eyeshadow palette. I have swatched it and the blushes are smooth and pigmented. When I wore the matte shade on the top row it lasted all day and blended out with ease. I'll just go ahead and give everyone a heads up and say the review is going to be good. So if you're dying to get it go ahead and purchase it! By the way it is exclusive to Ulta only. 

Lorac Alter Ego Lipstick Collection Set $35- I'm trying to remember if I reviewed  this set already. I think I might have just posted a picture on Instagram. Anyways, I found this lipstick set at Kohl's for $35. It is Kohl's exclusive and it can't be purchased at Ulta. I have been dying to try the Alter Ego lipstick line for a while now but I always put it off for some reason but once I saw this kit I had to give in. Each lipstick is usually $16 and $35 for 5 shades is a steal. They are very pigmented and apply pretty easily. I did notice some tugging but overall I'm impressed with this matte formula. The thing that I love most is he wear time. The Alter Ego lipsticks are perfect for long nights out in town. 

Too Faced Cocoa Contour kit $40-  I just got this palette in the mail the other day. I did swatch it and post some pictures on Instagram. So go check that out. As for the quality, I don't have anything to say just yet. I haven't actually applied any of the shades on my face yet but I can say they swatch beautifully, except for the highlight shade. It's a little chunky but I'm hoping it looks better once applied to the face. I should have a review up by next week and yes, it does smell like chocolate! 

L'Oreal Infallible setting spray $16.99-  After reading so many reviews on this spray I had to pick it up. I used it once on Valentine's Day and I'm really impressed. Just from first impressions I noticed an extra 3-4 hours of wear and it kept everything looking nice until I washed my face. 

Physicians Formula city Bronzers $13 in stores- Ok, I'm guilty. I bought the two city Bronzers purely for the prettiness of the product. Physicians Formula makes such cute products but don't get me wrong they perform just as good. I have used these two bronzers multiple times and all I have is good thoughts about them! I can't wait to share a review with you all. 

Clinique Beyond Perfecting Foundation and Concealer $27- Ah, another new thing that I'm excited about. I haven't tried it yet and I'm actually afraid that the shade I picked is too dark for me. Oh well, I guess we'll see. When I first opened the package I was shocked by how big the bottle is. I guess it's normal for a foundation but for some reason I expected it to be smaller. But then I opened the bottle and holy heck the applicator is huge! I don't really like doe foot applicators because of the whole bacteria concept but I still wanted to give this foundation a go. If I can I might try to find a pump for it. If I can't, I'll just apply he foundation to the back of my hand first I guess. Hopefully, I will have a review up within the next couple weeks. I like to take my time reviewing foundations because of my sensitive skin. 

Milani Rose Blushes $7.99- Eeek, I had high hopes for the Rose blushes by Milani. I heard great things but they feel kind of cheap to me. The swatch really chalky but I haven't wore them yet. So I can't say how they perform on the cheeks. I'm actually kind of nervous because it feels like they have A LOT of Talc in them. I hope not! I guess the cuteness will be worth my time and money. 

Milani Matte lipsticks $5.99- I already did a full review on these lipstick(click here for the review). Trust me, you need them in your life! 

Physicians Formula Fiber Mascara $14.99- I really need to post a review of this mascara kit. I have been trying it for maybe a week or so and I'm in love. Even my friends and family noticed how big my lashes look! Maybe I will have a review up early next week. 

NYX Tame and Frame brow pomade $6.99- Forget Anastasia's brow pomade. This is affordable, yet so good. I plan to do a quick review of this product at some point in the near future. 

Dermablend Intense Powder Camo  $31- I only used this powder twice but so far it seems good. It does provide a lot of coverage but I think it might not be good for oily skin. I just need a little more time to test this powder out. It will probably be one of the products I review in a couple weeks. 

Milani baked bronzer $9.99- This isn't a new product but I saw some people talking about it on Instagram. I haven't used it yet and I might not even do a review on it. However, at some point I will either throw it in a post somehow or let everyone know my thoughts on Instagram. But I'm always changing my mind, so who knows I might review it. When I swatched it I noticed a lot of shimmer (bad thing for bronzers) but maybe tapping the brush before applying will lessen the amount of shimmer transferred to the face. Perhaps it will be better for the warmer months only. 

Tarte Tartiest Clay Paint liner $24- Dont you just love the name Tartiest! It sounds so cute to me but maybe I'm just weird. Anyway, I haven't fully put this product to the test but I can say it's easy to apply and the pigment is very dark. I actually thought the product would be bigger but I'm sure it will go a long way. I'll try to have a review up soon. 

Maybelline Master Class correcting primer $9.99- I used this primer once and I'm in love! I didn't see much of a difference in the redness of my skin but it did make my foundation apply much smoother. My makeup also stayed on longer but that might have been because of the Loreal setting spay I'm currently testing out. Just to be sure I'm going to use it a couple more times without the setting spray. Let's keep our fingers crossed.

Too Faced Melted lipsticks $21- I have always loved the Too Faced Melted lipsticks. The smell is divine and the pigmentation is always on point. I'm not going to do a review on them but I might do a swatch post of all the colors I have. The new shades I picked up are Melon and Chihuahua, and they are stunning! 

Rimmel Velvet Matte Lip Lacquers $5.99- I have tested out about half of the shades from this line. I purchased them all and I'll post a review with swatches soon. To be honest, I'm not sure how I feel about them. They seem nice but I'm not fully convinced that they're anything special. But let's just wait and see how everything works out. 

  

City Color Intense Blush palette $7.99- Intense is the correct word for this blush palette. It should also come with a warning label that states "Warning, use a light hand or you'll look like a clown", but it doesn't so I'm telling you now. It's great and the price is right. Online it says the price is $7.99 but I found it at Five Below for $3. So I suggest looking there before you spend the extra $5 online (even though it's worthy of $8). I feel like I'm repeating myself... I'll have a review up sometime in the next couple weeks. 

City Color Glowing Complexion Creme $6.99- Ugh... Do you know that intense powder smell that some makeup smells like? Well this smells like that but stronger. I'm so nervous to try this on my face but I'm also really curious about it. When I work up the courage to face the scent I'll write a revie on it. Wish me luck. 

Cory Airspun Translucent powder $5.97- I got this powder becuase of Tati (Glamlifeguru vlogger). She swears by so I thought I would give it a try becuase it's so affordable. It's still sitting on my vanity. I sniffed it and was distraught by the scent of it. Hopefully when I have the time to test it the scent won't linger. I'll be sure to let ya'll know how it is in a post at some point. 

Jergens Soothing Aloe lotion $4.97- If your skin gets really dry during the winter, pick this up. My hands get so dry that sometimes they look scaly and cracked. Jergens Soothing Aloe lotion is the only thing I have ever tried  

that truly helps them. I just can't live without it now. 

NYX Dewy Setting Spray $7.99- Repurchase! Nothing new but definitely something special. I love my Mac Fix+ but the NYX Dewy setting spray is much easier to get my hands on. Plus, they do pretty much the same thing. I'll use it to get rid of the cakey look from my foundation and boy does it works wonders. If you haven't tried it, you need to. The bottle is a decent size for the price. 

Eco Tools Eye Perfecting Brush $6.98- Ok, I don't want to spoil the review so I'm not going to say much. This review is on my schedule for this Saturday and I like it. Now my lips are sealed. 

Real Techniques Complexion Sponge $5.99- Just another repurchase. I must have bad luck because I already did something to it. I accidentally microwaved it too long and now it's deformed. Oh well, it still works just fine. It just has a nice curve to it. I really like this sponge for a natural look. It makes my makeup look less cakey and it's perfect for applying foundation on dry flakey skin. It's a must have and the price beats the Beauty Blender. 

Rimmel Kate Moss Matte lipstick $5.49- I must have been living under a rock, I haven't even tried the Rimmel Kate Moss lipsticks. I have heard great things about them and when I saw they were on sale I had to pick up atleast one. I would have got more but all of the others were open. So I settled with one and I'm glad that I did. I'm really loving it. 

Rimmel Nail Lacquer $1.50 in stores- Obviously, the 60 Second nail polishes are not new from Rimmel but I scored some for 50 cents each at Kmart. So if you love the formula like I do go pick them up before the sell is over!  

I wish I could type up a review for every product on this list in short notice. Unfortunately, I have things to do and I have to put the products that are in high demand on my schedule first. If there is a product that you're extra curious about just let me know in the comments below and I'll try to move it up the review schedule. Thank you for understanding! If you're interest in swatches be sure to check out my Instagram. I typically post photos of my newest products in there.

Maybelline Dream Pure BB Cream with acne treatment- review for acne prone skin

Hello!

If you followTaylorpiebeauty on Istagram, then you probably know I have been working on review for this product. For some reason I have a love/ hate relationship with this BB cream. If you're not familiar with this BB cream let me tell you a little bit about it. 

This BB cream is made by Maybelline and it sells for $8 at most drugstores. There are 5-6 shades in 1fl oz squeeze tubes.  It's made for combination/ or blemish-prone skin. This BB Cream features 8 great skin benefits(listed below) that create healthy looking skin. 

It has 2% Salicylic Acid , which is one of the highest amount that you can get without a prescription. 

Uses

for the treatment of acne

helps clear up acne blemishes and allows skin to heal

8 Benefits

1. Clears acne ✔️✖️

2. Conceals imperfections✖️

3.Minimizes the looks of pores✔️✖️

4. Reduces the appearance of redness✔️

5. Adjusts to skin tone✔️

6. Hydrates and Smoothes✖️

7. Enhances and clarifies ✖️

8. 0% oils and lightweight feel✔️✖️

---

How does it perform

Does it clear acne?

Personally, I didn't notice a difference in the appearance of my skin. I already have Saliciylic Acid in my daily treatments and believe the BB Cream just over did it. Everytime I wear it my skin gets really dry and feels irritated. BUT with that put aside, I haven't experienced clearer skin.

Does it conceal imperfections?

No, it's too sheer to conceal major imperfections and it's not buildable. When I have more than one layer on it looks cake-y and feels heavy. 

Does it minimize the appearance of pores?

Somewhat. It hides some pores but if you have large pores, then the BB cream accentuates them. Also, as the BB Cream fades your pores start to show through.

Does it reduce the appearance of redness? 

Yes, it evens out your skintone just fine. So if you have redness anywhere on your face you may like this BB Cream.

Does it adjust to your skin tone? 

Yes, I picked the color that was within my shade range and it matched perfectly to my skin.

Does it hydrate and smooth?

No! It leaves my skin feeling dry and makes my acne peel even worse. My skin also didn't look or feel smooth.

Does it enhance and clarify?

No! It made my skin dry and cake-y.

Does it have a lightweight feel?

Yes and no. If you apply a very thin layer it will feel fine for a couple hours. However, it starts to feel heavy throughout the day. 

If your like me and want more coverage then I'm sure you'll want more than one layer. BUT.. If you do that then you're left with a mask feeling and I gotta say it's not too comfortable. 

I gave it a check mark above because on the directions it does say " for best results apply a thin layer of Dream Pure BB cream on skin. Can be used with or without a moisturizer". So keep that in mind if you are worried about it feeling too heavy. I'm sure some people love it and others hate it. 

Just for a reference here is a picture of my acne

---

The packaging

The packaging is nice.

 It comes in a squeeze tube. Which is good for sanitary reasons. 

The lid stays on tight and it's easy to remove.  

The packaging itself is very slim and easy to travel with.

Overall, I love the feel, look and colors of the tube this BB Cream comes in.

---

The consistency and finish

The consistency is just right. It's neither too thin or thick. Which surprises me because it feels so mask like on my face.

I feel that its best if you set it with a powder in the tzone. Otherwise, I feel as if it truly never sets and feels tacky.

It dries to slightly dewy finish. If you have oily skin I don't think you will enjoy it. Oil can easily break through in the tzone.

The coverage is sheer. It's not buildable(if you don't want cake-y skin). 

I can wear it for two hours before it starts to crease and fade. 

Final thoughts

The concept of this BB Cream is genius. I know anyone with acne would love to have a BB Cream that looks gorgeous on the skin. Unfortunately, this BB Cream didn't work out for me. It didn't treat my acne or conceal it. It looks unnatural on my face. It makes my skin dry. It doesn't improve the appearance of my large pores. The wear time isn't very long. I do like the packaging, price, the consistency and how it adjusts to my skintone. I don't hate this BB Cream to the point that I need to throw it away. I will probably finish it but I'm not going to repurchase it.

2 of the 8 benefits worked. 3 of the 8 benefits sort of worked. The rest(3) did not.

(all of the benefits are listed above)

Pros

Packaging

Price

Consistency

Adjusts to skintone

Doesn't clog pores

Reduces redness

Minimizes small pores

Cons

Minor scent

Cake-y

Causes dry skin/accentuates dry patches  

Loses the battle against acne

Sheer coverage

Doesn't minimize large pores

Wear time is short

Oil shines through after awhile

I'm sad to say this BB Cream is NOT TaylorPie approved.

Have you tried this BB Cream? What are your thoughts?

---

Here is a before and after picture. My model said she thought it felt light weight. However, she doesn't need as much coverage on her face. She has mild acne on her forehead and clear skin everywhere else. I did notice a difference on clear skin. It looks very natural and makes the skin look flawless. That still doesn't change my mind about my review, though. I based my review on skin that is very problematic, such as mine. You might enjoy this if you have periodic breakouts but if your skin is like mine then I say stick to foundation.

Thanks for reading, TaylorPie. 

Urban Decay Naked 3 tutorial

Hello!

Today I have a tutorial to share with you. The palette is picked for this look is the Urban Decay Naked 3. The look I created is definitely wearable and work appropriate. I typically do create looks that are within a lot of peoples comfort zone but feel free to request any unique looks you have in mind. 

All of the products I used are in the picture below. The majority of it is drugstore with a couple exceptions.

Makeup

Maybelline Color Tattoo in Barley Branded

Urban Decay Naked 3 palette

Urban Decay 24/7 liner in zero

Rimmel Scandaleyes liner in nude

E.l.f liquid eyeliner

L'Oreal Voluminous Carbon Black mascara

E.l.f Natural Lash eyelashes

Tweezers

Brushes

Eco Tools eyeshadow brush

Sonia Kashuk eyeshadow brush

Sonia Kashuk fluffy blending brush

Sonia Kashuk detail brush

E.l.f smudge brush

E.l.f eyeliner brush

  

Sorry about the redness in my eyes. I get really bad allergies during this time of the year. 

Here is a photo of the Urban Decay Naked 3 palette. If you don't have this palette, just try to use similar colors and I'm sure it will turn out just as pretty. 

1. To start off the look I applied Maybelline's Barley Branded Color Tatoo to brighten up my eyes and to keep my eyeshadow in place all day.

2. Then, I used Limit from the Naked 3 in my crease with a fluffy eye brush. I didn't apply much but I applied enough to make the color visible. I started at the outer corner and blended my way into the inner corner.

3. Next, with an eyeshadow brush I applied Dust all over the lid in patting motions. 

4. To deepen the outer corner I used Darkside. Using a precise definition brush start at the corner and work your way up the crease. Don't use too much or your crease will be too dark(unless you want it that way). I also blended it out toward the center of my eyelid but not very much. I mostly tried to keep it in the crease.

5. After I was done with Darkside I used Limit on a fluffy blending brush  to blend out any harsh lines above my crease. 

6.The last shadow I used is Strange. I applied it with an eyeshadow brush to brighten up underneath my eyebrow. 

7.For the lower lashline, I used Darkside on the outer corner and Dust on the inner corner & the tear duct. I used an eyeliner brush for the lashline but I wiped it off in between  different colors. If you prefer your eyes to be brighter apply more of the color Dust. I didn't go crazy with that color because right now I'm constantly rubbing my eyes in that area.

8. For my eyeliner I used e.l.f cosmetics liquid liner for a wing on the top, Urban Decays liner on the lower lashline to darken the outer corner, and Rimmels Nude liner to brighten my inner corner on the lower lashline. 

9. Lastly, I applied L'Oreal's Voluminous Carbon Black mascara and applied e.l.f cosmetics natural lashes.

I hope you enjoyed this look. Feel free to leave a comment below if you have any questions. 

Thank you for reading, TaylorPie.

 

New Maybelline Dream Pure BB Cream for acne-prone skin

 Hello, yet again we have another exciting new product coming out. Maybelline Cosmetics has formulated a BB cream specifically for oily-combination/ acne-prone skin. The BB Cream has Salicylic Acid as an active ingredient to help fight breakouts as you go on with your day. 

 I'm so excited about this new addition from Maybelline. Foundations with blemish treatment usually don't help my skin but I'm curious to see if this BB Cream will.  It should be light enough to let my skin breathe and most foundations don't over great benefits like beauty balms do. 

If you do try this BB cream be sure to wear additional sunscreen. It has a SPF of 15 but with Salicylic Acid that's not enough.  I'm sure most of you know this but sometimes people just need to be told over and over again. 

 Maybelline claims that results will appear within two weeks. To me that seems kind of fast but I do have high hopes. I know once this hits shelves I will definitely be waving my money at the cashiers face.

  Let's just hope the color range is broad enough, so that we can all find a color. In the UK, Maybelline only has 3 shades- light, medium and dark. I guess some people will just have to mix shades to find their perfect color. However, you never know. Maybe, here in the US there will be a larger variety (fingers crossed). If you do know how many shades are available, please let me know! 

As for the coverage, I don't have high hopes. I will probably just wear this BB cream when I'm not going out. Perhaps, it will make a fantastic correcter under foundation. I will be sure to let you know all of the details when I get my hands on it and test it out.
