Maybelline Pure Make Up Foundation.



Hello!, so I finally did it, I planned a review and actually took some photos and everything, so here it is...

Brand: Maybelline N.Y.
Product name: Pure Make Up foundation.
Shade: 45 dorado 
Content: 30ml

Now, I searched around the Maybelline U.S. and U.K. site to see if the product was available other than in   México, Argentina and other Latinamerica countries, and nothing... so my guess is that the product is specific for in Latinamerica, I think it is, cause the shades seem a bit more darker than other productos, which is okay cause some girls we have a bit darker skin tone.


As you can see in the first picture, the product seems lighter than my skin tone, but when I applied it to my face, it adjusted to my skin tone, which is really good, cause with other products my face looks lighter than my neck or arms.


Here is a before and after, sorry for the different lightning but damn you sun, anyway you can see how it really covers some imperfections and doesn't make my skin look lighter or darker.

Now, the packaging says that the product will absorb the oils produced by your skin, it also says that will help to control brightness, and it says that is appropiate for mixed and oily skin, so I bought it cause my face can be very oily specially during summer, BUT it did not help at all to my skin, it didn't control de brightness, and the worst is that it says "anti-imperfections" and well at least for me it was a lie, when I applied it, not even 1 hour later, my face felt oily, greasy, and when I washed it off, I could see new imperfections in my face.

So, let's see, I probably wouldn't recommend it if you have mixed oily skin, maybe it works better with a normal skin, but the thing is that the product states that is appropiate when in reality is not. I liked the fact that the shade actually matches my skin tone, but that's it, I'll definetly not be buying it again.

Have you tried this product? and how it worked for you? 
What product would you recommend me?

Hope you're all well, have a good weekend! x.

Hello!

I'm so behind at these instagram update post, I just can't find enough inspiration to come and write a post, yesterday(saturday) was my birthday! now I'm 23, I feel so adult now...not really to be honest, growing up is scary, really scary, I'm trying my best, but things aren't going the way I was hoping, I didn't get the internship I wanted, and I've been fighting with my boyfriend because of that, I try to stay positive but sometimes is really hard, anyway I really hope things get better and I can stop feeling like I know nothing about anything. 
Oh here are some cool pictures... haha

Birthday wishlist!

Hello everyone! how you've been? I hope better than I, these last weeks had been a bit rough for me, but I'm trying to stay positive, and find something to motivate myself, so I'm trying...

As you may know, I live in México, and over here we don't hace stores like Boots or Lush or Sephora for beauty products, but I bought a few things on a 4x2 deal the other day, and I'll be posting reviews over these days, most of the products are maybelline and L'oreal so you know, very affordable brands. Also I tried to dye my hair, ombré style, but my hair is too dark, but still it looks a bit lighter on the tips, I might try to do it again next week. And last but not least, this saturday is my 23rd birthday! I'm not really excited but is a good excuse for lots of food,cake and hanging out with my friends so yeah...

Oh, here's my whislist for my birthday... I'm pretty sure I won't get anything, cause my mom probably will give me money instead of buying something haha but that's good. also I have some money and I'll be posting about how to make a budget, and spend money on a reasonble way...

BUT UNTIL THEN HERE IT IS....

Birthday Whislist!
