Maybelline's Fit Me - First Thoughts!

Hello 

So i said on twitter that i was waiting for a sample of the Maybelline 'Fit Me' foundation but it hadn't come! I was in desperate need of a new foundation though so i decided to go out and get it anyway!


The shade i ended up with was 130 in the foundation. I would now say, after trying it on my face for a few days, that the lighter yellow based colour in 120 might have been a better match for myself! I will still be able to use the 130 though, it's just a slightly darker tone than my skin but is unnoticeable really (except to my perfectionist brain)!

The formula of the foundation is described by Maybelline as 'our first gel foundation made with no waxes and fillers'. They have a concealer shade and a powder shade to match every foundation, a 'customised make-up system'.

I think the idea of having matching shades etc is a really good one as although you can go get the shades you want, if you are like me you often end up with a concealer too dark for your foundation from two different brands etc! But maybelline's match system makes this a lot easier and makes for much more even base coverage.

I love the consistency of the foundation, it is quite thin but not too much so, therefore it is easy to blend into your skin and gives good coverage without using too much product.


The concealer is the same really, it is pretty much the same shade as the foundation, a little thicker in consistency but still quite thin for a concealer, it's really easy to blend away red marks or dark circles.


 The powder is slightly lighter and it gives really good coverage. I would say however, that i am not in love with the applicator this comes with and i much prefer to use my powder brush!



I have been wearing the full combination for the past few days and so far, my makeup has lasted all day and i have needed no real touch-ups!

Overall, i really do like the fit me range by Maybelline and am interested to see how long the products last me.  I am enjoying using the products for now however, i do think the consistency might just be slightly too thin? I will see how i get on using them a bit more! If i do buy the range again, i think i might go for a slightly lighter shade too! Generally, i am really liking the collection so far!


Have you tried the fit me range?
What are your opinions on it?

Thursday Lust List!

Hello 
I've been eyeing up some things online these days spending money in my head as i'm poor! Regardless, i'm going to show you what i'm currently lusting after!

New Look shoe boot which you can buy here.
I adore this shoe! It's a steal at only £29.99 and although i am skint i feel as though i might have to invest in these if i find them in my local New Look. I love them!


Missguided sequin sleeve jacket - here.
Another thing which makes me wish i had a full-time job so i could have this! I love this jacket and it's probably a bit of a marmite love/hate product, but, i'm in love. I recently purchased the Primark Safari jacket with faux leather sleeves which i'm equally in love with and it was so cheap compared to other versions out there!
The Artiste Collection
MUA Artiste collection palette which you can get here. Still haven't been able to get my hands on this through my local Superdrug but i'm sure i will!
Topshop knitted patchwork jumper - here.
So cute and perfect for the winter months!
Miss Selfridge Project #3 Collection lace maxi dress which you can get here.
Couldn't want this dress more if i tried. As always when i love something from Miss Selfridge though, it's out of stock at the moment. Probably a good thing, stops me spending!
I really really want this OPI nail polish in 'The World is Not Enough' from the James Bond Skyfall collection! You can buy this here. My sister has 'Golden Eye' from the collection and it's really lovely. I may have to invest in one myself!
Topshop Aubergine Cross Stitch Hat - here.
I have seen loads of bloggers blog about this hat and i am endlessly jealous! I just cannot justify paying £14 for a hat though! I'm not really a hat wearer but i'm loving this colour and i really want one so if you have spied a cheaper similar alternative let me know where ;).
H&M fake fur collar - here.
Amazing, perfect for winter and goes with pretty much anything. Need it.

Dying to try out Maybelline's new Fit Me foundation. I've had a look online and managed to claim a free mini sample from the maybelline site, they even give you a few helping hints with colour matching which i thought was great! If there's any left head over to maybelline here and get your free sample if you want to try out this foundation too!
H&M studded bag - here.
You all know already how stud obsessed i am if you have read my previous posts so it's no surprise that this makes my lust list. They have it in this black with gold studs or light beige with silver studs and i love them both!

So that's mostly all i'm lusting after lately. 
Do you like or own any of these?
