Beauty Thursday: Maybelline Super Stay Foundation Review

Hello Everyone! Welcome to Beauty Thursday. Today I am going to be doing a review of one of my favourite drugstore foundations.

Foundation: Maybelline Super Stay 24hr Foundation

Packaging: It comes in an open top glass bottle with a screw on cap. It does not come with a pump in North America.

Shade: Classic Ivory. This is not the lightest shade; it is currently a little bit dark for me but if I blend it down my neck you can't tell.

Coverage: Medium - Full. You can sheer out this foundation by mixing it with moisturizer, or you can wear it full coverage.

Finish: Matte.

Claims: Withstands heat, sweat and humidity.

No transfer- won't rub off.

Flexible, breathable coverage.

Oil-Free.

Suitable for all skin types.

Does it measure up? Withstands heat, sweat and humidity. True, it does last a long time and there is no need for touch ups. No transfer- won't rub off. Unfortunately this isn't true. You definitely don't want to hug a friend with a white shirt while wearing this foundation, as it has a tendency to transfer quite easily. Flexible, breathable coverage. It doesn't feel like a full coverage foundation. It blends easily into the skin and doesn't sit on top of it and make it feel mask-like. Oil-Free. Yes. Suitable for all skin types. My skin has actually gone from oily to very dry and with both skin types I was able to wear this foundation. I just have to make sure to now moisturize and exfoliate properly. It has a matte finish so it is great for oily skin.

Downsides:

The only one I can really think of is that it transfers quite easily, however if you set it with a setting spray it does help. Other than that I can't really think of anything else except maybe that it doesn't have a pump, but neither does Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation.

This is what the top looks like.

I think this is a great product if you are looking for a matte medium-full coverage drugstore foundation. Matte foundations are hard to find at the drugstore but this one is a great option.

I hope you enjoyed this post!

Fab February: Anna Edwin Makeup

Anna Edwin is a Norwegian blogger. She began her blog in 2009 and she blogs about everything from hair to bowling (well maybe not actually bowling). Her hair and makeup is always flawless, nice and bronzed. So I thought it would be perfect for spring and to warm us all up. If you want to check out Anna's blog click here (her blog is obviously in Norwegian so you'll have to press the translate button). I searched her blog and tried to use the same products that she does. Let's get started on her makeup look! Face: 1. Start with your favourite face primer. Jessie's Picks: Too Faced Primed and Poreless Skin Smoothing Primer. Korres Greek Yoghurt Face Primer. 2. Next apply your concealer underneath your eyes and on any blemishes. Jessie's Picks: Mac Moisturecover Concealer. TheBalm Time Balm Concealer. 3. On a big fluffy face brush buff a matte powder foundation all over your face and down your neck. Jessie's Picks: Bare Mineral Matte Foundation Bro

Whatever Wednesdays: Victoria Beckham Hair How-To

Victoria Beckham Ponytail: With her long dark brown hair, Victoria Beckham's hairstyle of choice has become the ponytail. This style is quick, and ultra chic. 1. Start with day-old hair (or even if you are starting with freshly washed hair) and spritz with a volumizing dry shampoo. 2. Pull your hair back with your fingers, smoothing over any stray hairs. 3. Once you have your ponytail in the desired place, fasten with a hair tie. 4. Take your straightener and run it over the ends of your ponytail, to give it a sleek effect. 5. Add a tiny dot of shine serum to the ends. Simply rub the serum between your palms, and run your hands over the end of your ponytail. Voila! Tu es fini, and you have a simple and chic hairdo. xx JD Please leave me a comment let me know what you think! If you have any questions or suggestions: Email me: jessicadonna96@gmail.com
