reviews: new drugstore makeup


Over the last little while, I have tried a few new drugstore makeup products: Maybelline BB Cream, Maybelline Fit Me Blush and Rimmel's Match Perfection 2 in 1 Concealer.  I have had mixed reactions to these products, and wanted to share my thoughts with you!

Maybelline BB Cream in Light: 

Though this product looks quite dark when you put it on your skin, it blends perfectly to match your skin tone. There are other BB Creams that I prefer to this one, but I do like that the colour isn't too dark. It provides a nice light coverage and adds a lot of moisture to the skin. Personally, I like a fuller coverage, so I wouldn't be comfortable wearing this as is. However, it's a great base. Recently I've been using this and then applying my foundation over top to get even more coverage. If you are looking for a BB Cream that is moisturizing and light, then this will work really well for you! It comes in great variety of shades as well. Overall, a decent product!

Maybelline FIT Me Blush in Light Mauve:

I love this! The blush is really buildable, so you're not getting a ton of product on your cheeks all at once. The colour that I chose is Light Mauve, which is natural but sexy. This is great for an everyday blush or for really playing up a dark smokey eye. I have found myself reaching for this blush a lot lately!

Rimmel's Match Perfection 2 in 1 Concealer:

This concealer claims to conceal and highlight the under eye area. It doesn't provide a whole lot of coverage, but it does brighten the under eye area really well. As a concealer, I would say this is a miss. As an under eye brightener, however, this product is great! It looks really beautiful on the skin. It is a shame that the coverage wasn't better, but I am liking this product to brighten the under eye.

Have you tried any of these drugstore products? What did you think of them?

    Ooh that blush is such a beautiful shade! I'm usually a bronzer girl, but if it's Maybelline I might have to try it! :)

    I've been using the Maybelline BB Cream for a while now and been loving it. For the days I don't really feel like wearing makeup, it's perfect, and gives my skin a nice fresh look! Great picks:)

    I use both the BB cream and the Rimmel concealer. The concealer definitely doesn't provide much coverage, but I like the BB cream.

    Great reviews on these, I have not personally used an of these products, I thought about picking up the BB cream but I wasn't convinced that I would like it. I never thought to use it before I apply my foundation! I will have to give that a try! Thanks for the tip ;)

    I may have to try that BB cream... I've been thinking about it for a while, since I like to have just a bit of light coverage. Thanks for the review!

    The BB Cream is my 2nd skin on summer. I wear it sometimes, on winter with some pouder over , instead of my foundation when I need some extra-hidration.
