Liquid -Chanel - Vitalumiere

In my continued search for the perfect foundation I tried this and I loved it! I didn't love the price but it looked terrific on my combination skin, the perfect amount of dewy-ness. The color was gorgeous. The only problem I had with this is that is rubbed off on clothing. That was a big deal to me because of the price. I have the feeling that I will purchase this again and use a primer with it to give it one last chance as it was a beautiful foundation if one is after the dewy look. The price is a little steep but a little goes a long way.

Foundations -Maybelline - Dream Matte Mousse

In my search for the perfect foundation in which I have purchased countless products, high and low end, I decided to give this a try. I don't LOVE it but I like it and will keep it. I'm not a matte lady. I prefer a more dewy look. I don't find this to be all that matte. The coverage is suitable buy not build-able. More seems to be too much. I am careful not to use too much product. I don't use a moisturizer under this but I do use a primer. It works out OK with the primer, lasts longer. I use my fingers to apply although I plan to try it with a sponge. This is not a foundation that should be applied with a brush. My main complaint about this product is the choice of shades. Some are too pinky, some are too peachy. It may be rather difficult for a lady with yellow tones to find a shade that is not a tad too light. I will repurchase but my search for the perfect foundation will continue......

Concealers -Maybelline - Instant Age Rewind Double Face Perfector [DISCONTINUED]

I like the concealer and the highlighter but there is not a whole lot of product. I am almost out of the concealer but there is quite a bit of highlighter left. I would give these products a higher rating if Maybelline sold them separately, giving the consumer more product for the money, especially on the concealer end. I will not repurchase.

Gimmicky. Most gimmicky products fail to live up to the hype. It went on OK but the color changed to a pinkish tone....horrible color... Very dry. I returned it.

Horrible! I am searching for my HG Tinted Moisturizer. This is not it. It's very dry. I understand that a TM is not meant to have a lot of coverage but this has nothing. Why bother?
