So I bought myself a new foundation a couple weeks ago when my drugstore was out of my shade of Revlon Colorstay (and it was on sale too - laame!) so I decided to go for the only other foundation that had piqued my interest lately, Maybelline Dream Mousse Liquid.
I've been using it for a couple weeks now and I'm sort of on the fence...
Pros:
-great colour match (for me)
-perfect amount of coverage for me - full coverage but not heavy or matte like the original dream matte mousse, more dewy
-the texture is awesome - SUPER lightweight and smooth, it feels like you're not wearing anything and it just feels like silk going on
-very blendable, a bit buildable
-awesome packaging - glass bottle, with a pump, that has a little lid that goes over it, and it twists to the side and locks the pump
Cons:
-IT NEVER SETS. No joke... I HAVE to powder over it, and I usually do a bit of bronzer too... I can use a blotting sheet on my face hours after applying and makeup comes off on the sheet, not just oil.
-Because it doesn't set it does have a tendency to disappear a bit by the end of the day... but at least it's very light so there is the option of reapplying a bit... but then you have to reapply powder and bronzer too
So I'm kind of like hmm... do I like it or don't I? I love the way it looks fresh on, but I don't know if it's worth the maintenance it requires. With my good ol' Colorstay, I almost never had to reapply - only if after a looong day and then I want to go out and have heavier coverage (like at night or something).
Anyone else tried this? Any thoughts?
