Face Review: Maybelline Super Mineral 24 Healthy Long Lasting Two-Way Foundation



Hello Everyone!


I have done lip and blush review, it is time for the face foundation to shine!  I have been using this product as long as I can remember.  It's the Maybelline Super Mineral 24 Healthy Long Lasting Two-Way Foundation, I will post the old packaging for comparison.  I'll review the product based on my own experience and I also bought the products mentioned.

PRODUCT INFORMATION:
Brand:  Maybelline New york
Name:  Maybelline Super Mineral 24 Healthy Long Lasting Two-Way Foundation
Net Wt: 7.5g
Price: Compact- Php250/ Refill- Php469
Where to Buy:  In all leading beauty stores nationwide

*Old packaging

*New packaging
As you can see, the packaging is very different from the previous look.  The new one has a metallic on the sides and the container is on the pink side which I believe it's more chic looking.  I am just hoping that the compact has a better packaging since I had an experience with the old one locking mechanism easily got broken.  My shade is OC1, my skin is acidic that is why I have one (1) shade lighter than my real skin tone.

*Without the foundation

*With the foundation
As for the price, it is pretty over my budget limit but since it gives a good coverage on my skin this is one of the products I can spill over and besides I have light hands and this product can last for more than 6 months.  Amazed?  Yes, I have before a powder that I labelled the date so that I can monitor my usage per product and this one I can go as long as 9 months.  That is why I can spend so much for this.

Good tip, everytime I will see sale on Maybelline products I purchase the refill as stock since I don't have any idea when they are going to be on sale again and you can purchase it on a discounted price.  That is one of my techniques to save a little for my addiction.

I apply this over my BB cream every morning, I retouch after lunch especially on my t-zone removing the oily on my face.  This is my everyday powder, I can't get out of the house without putting this powder on my face.  I love the finish on my face, it covers all my imperfections in my skin and giving it a smooth feeling and it also has SPF30 to protect your face on the sun rays.

Surely I will repurchase this one, I'm also looking for a better alternative that is not expensive.  I'm thinking also within the Maybelline family of course.  For me, this brand I have tried and tested over the years and never failed me to feel beautiful.

If you have any suggestions that you think I can try just let me know.

Thank you for reading my review.  See you next week.

March Beauty Favorites




Hi Everyone!

April is here, done with March and today I'm going to share with you my March Beauty Favorites.  I will share with you my hair product, facial moisturizers, lip and bronzer product.

The March favorites are:

1.  Pantene Pro-V Nature Care Natural Shine Booster Essence



Yes!  I'm in need of hair repair right now.  Maintaining a smooth hair is a struggle for me, need to give more loving that is why this is included in my favorites.  This is one of the things I can think of, every morning putting 2-3 pumps on my fingers and spread evenly at the end of my hair focusing more on my dry tips.  When my hair is already dry, the product gives the softness and I really love the smell of it on my hair.  To tell you honestly I have a frizzy hair and after a month of using this product it gave a little tame on my hair.  I'm still looking a product that can extend the help of my hair to be more smooth and silky, if you have a recommendation please do so and leave a comment below.

2.  Celeteque Facial Moisturizer



As you all know, if you are following my blog I'[m in the quest to have a healthy my skin and pimple-free.  That is why I'm using this every night after washing my face and wiping a toner, applying this product gives me an even skin and I feel refresh before going to bed.  In the morning, I felt my face rejuvenated.  What I like with this product, its water-based and oil free it's not heavy on my face.  It works every time and after doing my facial routine my face now is clear no pimples and I'm very much happy!

3.  Ever Bilena Sunblock Moisturizing Cream - Face



Since summer is officially here, I need a sunblock to protect my face under the sun at the same time a facial moisturizer.  I found this in one product!  I tried this as one of my product adventure and I seriously like the finish on my face.  I put this every morning before going to the office, it gives me a glow even I don't put powder just brushing my lip tint and ready to face the world!

4.  ELF Contouring Blush & Bronzer Powder




Do I have to say more?  I have a separate blog on this which includes on my blush review.  Please do check it out to give more in-depth review and my personal thoughts on the product.  I want to have a bronzer-look that is why this product belongs here in my favorites and I have the feeling this will also be in the April list, let us see if I will continue using this month.

5.  Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm in Lovesick

Lastly, I love using this lip balm especially during night time.  This lip balm gives my lips a popping color that is why I use this going out with my friends.  This is highly pigmented and I promise you this is also a long wearing color.  It also leaves my lips moisturizing, I'm very happy for buying this at a discounted price!  Again, this is recommended!  You will never go wrong on this product.

There you have it, my March favorites.  Thank you for stopping by.

See you again next time.
