Maybelline Mini Haul

hello! last week, i went on a hunt for affordable face products (foundation & loose powder) that i could use on a normal day :) so i headed to a maybelline counter to look for the stuffs that i need. i haven't tried any face products from maybelline, this will be the first face products attempt from maybelline :) so did i like it?.. let's see..

first is the clear smooth aqua gel foundation.
data from the back of the packaging:
its has a water based formula that gives the skin a light and fresh sensation. controls shine for an all-day and perfect looking complexion.evens out skin tone and covers imperfections. feels soothing and cares for your skin chamomile, aloe and vitamin e.

 


love:
**no unpleasant smell
**it really did cover minor blemishes like redness :)
**it didn't break me out
**i love the packaging, cause it helps me not to squeeze out too much of the product
**affordable Php349

hate:
**its hard to blend :(
**i think i got the wrong shade haha. i got the natural beige shade and i think i should have bought the true beige shade. :))
**if i put too much, it turns ashy on me and it cakes a little


the next face product is the clearsmooth minerals healthy natural powder foundation *whew* hehe the name is quite long :p i got it for less thanPhp 600 *i think* and it comes with a tiny kabuki brush. i got the shade of w03 dark ochre





love:
**it didn't break me out too
**it evens out my skin tone
**i love using this to set my aqua gel foundation and my concealer
**good coverage
**unscented
**it really lasts on my face. and it controls oiliness too :)
hate:
**the brush that comes with it is useless *for me* cause i find it too scratchy.
**its not pure mineral makeup 


swatches 





im wearing the aqua gel foundation and i set it with the mineral powder :)  haha my face is kinda funny here :p








overall i like the two items i purchased but i think i'll try other products next time ^__^

That Gel foundation looks cool.I wish I could try it, and I love the packaging too. I don't believe Maybelline carries that foundation here in the U.S. :( Boo!

I used that Clear Smooth aqua foundation when I first started with makeup and it broke me out, like BAD. :(

Then I tried other liquid foundations from maybelline (the angelfit one and the mineral one), they didn't work out well on me either.

Props to the mineral powder one, I still use it until now and it doesn't break me out. :)

Aww you look so pretty! You got really nice cheekbones ^_^

I'm not a fan of Maybelline much coz their products have always disappointed me. Maybe they never worked on me? All I like is the Dream Matte Powder :D
