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: Makeup Wishlist/To-Do List for 2014

For today's Fab February post I thought I would post my makeup wishlist in honour of "Wishful Wednesday".... Yes, I just made that up.... Basically this post is of all the beauty related products that I would like to purchase or try in 2014. Kind of an odd post, but I have read a number of posts like this and I have always found them a useful forum. So if you have tried any of these products or have products that you want to try out in 2014 feel free to comment! 1. Nars Laguna Bronzing Powder . I have heard so much about this bronzer and I think that after my Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Bronzer runs out this will be my next bronzer purchase. 2. Clinique Cheek Pop Blush in Plum Pop. I have a feeling this blush is going to become my go to for the spring and summer. It looks like a grogeous plum shade which would be perfect for my light-medium cool toned complexion. 3. Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette. I am already in love with the original Naked Palette, and I just kn...
