Maybelline Dream Mousse foundations - a review

Maybelline Dream Smooth Mousse:
Price tag: ranges from $7-$10 depending on retailer

Description: Creamy & smooth texture.
Shade- 180 Nude Beige (a light-medium warm/ pink toned beige) 
(This shade was a perfect match for my skin. For reference, I wear MAC's NC 25.)

Pros: easy to apply (with a sponge or foundation brush), hydrating (good for normal to dry skin), decent price tag, easy to travel with, medium coverage & dewy finish.

Cons: limited shade selection, no mirror, small amount of product, not suitable for oily skin

Overall I do really like this foundation. I have combo-oily skin (dry around my nose and chin, and oily on my t-zone) and I can make this work. I have to pat off excess shine one to two times throughout the day. I LOVE the finish. The coverage works well for me (on my days where I'm in a rush, I don't even need concealer). I prefer using a wedge or beauty blender-type sponge for application. It is great for when I only have 5-10 mins to spare for foundation.
Do I recommend this product? -Yes

Product Rating: 4/5

Maybelline Dream Liquid Mousse:
Price tag: ranges from $7-$10 depending on retailer

Description: Thick whipped/mousse texture.
Shade- Sandy Beige Medium 1 (a medium cool/ yellow toned beige)
(This shade was a tad too tan for me, it would probably suit me in the summer.)

Pros: Pump w/ bottle, pump can twist to close, good amount of product, slightly better shade selection, light-medium coverage

Cons: can be cakey, glass bottle, not suitable for oily skin

I didn't like this foundation as much as the dream smooth mousse. I found it was cakey and didn't leave the same nice finish as the dream smooth. It also made my face shinier at the end of the day. This is a very average foundation.
Do I recommend this product? -No

Product RAVE - b l u s h

Hello there!

Once in a long while there comes along a product that you discover where you just absolutely LOVE.
The packaging is cute, the product works, the shade is right and the finish is gorgeous!
Well I have a new, recently discovered product to rave about.

It's Smashbox's blush rush in Radiance.

Now, in the pan it might look a little scary/intense but trust me, it is PERFECT!
It's described as a "bright fuchsia". It has great staying power and a little product goes a long way; it's one of those products where you just gently swipe your brush across 1-2 times and it's enough for both cheeks.

Why do I love it?
It gives my cheeks that perfect flush of color- that bright, yet subtle pink pop!
It retails $24 usd, but you can always try to find it for a cheaper price elsewhere online or possibly try to receive it in a swap.
You will not be displeased!
It's a matte finish, with no sheen or shimmer to it but it finishes smooth and not chalky like some mattes can do.
I can honestly say this is "holy grail" stuff, which I can not say much of other blushes. =)

Thanks for reading! Have a great day!
