I love testing products so you don’t have to!

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, makeup doesn’t have to be expensive to be good!  I’ve been on a quest to find a drugstore price foundation that not only sits beautifully on dry, 40+ skin, but also one that holds up all day and doesn’t transfer.  On my first try (after a lot of research) I have found a good one!

It’s the Maybelline Fit Me Dewy + Smooth Foundation.

This foundation sits beautifully on the skin, doesn’t accentuate my fine line, and blends seamlessly with my other makeup products.  It has a natural luminous finish, a medium coverage that conceals my hyperpigmentation, and spf 18.  I’ve tested this out for the past 7 days, wearing it on its own and mixing it with different products, and loved the results and wear each time.  I high recommend this one if you’re a normal to dry babe on a budget!

I’m in the shade 125, but I think shadow 120 would be a better match for my winter skin.

I’m on a hunt to find affordable drug store foundations that sit and wear beautifully on dry and mature skin, and this Maybelline Fit Me Dewy + Smooth pasts the test! I love how it looks and wears. I’m in shade 125. Also a skin tint I’m loving is the Versed Multi-Serum Skin Tint. I wear shade 5N.

f you haven’t tried the @dalba_global White Truffle First Spray Serum, I’m telling you, you’re missing out! There’s a reason 63 million bottles have been sold worldwide! This serum restores glow, moisture, and smooths texture. It’s great to use before, during, and after makeup and leaves the skin glowing, never oily. If you find your makeup looking dry, cakey, or patchy this serum will be your best friend. You can grab yours on Amazon!

If you’re looking for a great brow gel that holds your brow hairs in place all day and doesn’t feel stiff, then I highly suggest the Maybelline Super Lock Brow Gel. You can thank me later 😉

This Cinema Secrets brush cleaner is my makeup staple. It cleans and disinfects your brushes and drys in seconds so you can use your brush right after it’s been cleaned.

Have you tried using a Micro contour stick? I love it for its precision! This one from Morphe glides on beautifully and blend out smoothly. Did I mention it’s under $15?! 

I’m in shade Refined.

I’ve been using Point of View (POV) Beauty for a couple of weeks now, and so far I’m really liking it. Not only does it help my makeup to wear longer, but my skin feels more hydrated under my makeup at the end of the day. I use the Renew it bundle which consists of Drench It, Drip It, and Whip it and all three products feel great on the skin. I currently can’t link the products here, but wanted to leave my review .

Now, I’m not saying they’re exactly the same, but they’ll give similar results for half the price!

I tried these this morning, and boy did they feel good! They left my under eye smooth and hydrated and my concealer applied really nicely today. I need to find a less expensive alternative though, because $90 for 12 uses is a little more than I would like.

Beauty Empty Review. Spoiler Alert, this one is a keeper! Ladies, if you have dry and/or mature skin, you’ll love the Hydrating Cold Cream Cleanser by Alpyn. Not only does it do an amazing just of removing dirt and makeup, but it leaves the skin feeling soft and hydrated. I can’t even explain how good the skin feels after using this, you’ll have to try it yourself. 12/10 and highly recommend!

If you’re looking for a good, affordable brow gel, I highly recommend this one from Maybelline!
