Review: Maybelline Fit Me Foundation

Well hey there, after a while and merry December! It's ofically Christmas for me now, don't be judging me okayy!

It's time for another review :) I do realise that there are probably way too many reviews of this foundation out there but I just wanted to share my thoughts and feels about it. 

I've had this foundation standing on my desk untouched for quite a while, and now I finally re-discovered it for myself. I bought it because I needed something before getting the Rimmel wake me up foundation and honestly when going to the mall I had no idea which to get and then I saw the Maybelline counter and you know I had heard some good reviews about Fit me so I went for that.

First of all they have a Massive range of shades which is really good, they also have a powder called fit me and I think it's really good that they have kind of matched the number of the foundation with the number of the powder, makes it so much easier (I don't have the powder though) About the shades, I think I may have bought a bit too dark one for me, but it's fine for the summer. 

Honestly I'm not too impressed about the quality, after reading the reviews I was expecting something a little better. I tried applying it with a brush and also with fingers and in both case it was a little uneven and patchy. As far as the consistency goes, I love it, it's just thick enough, yet not too thick to feel heavy on the skin. It also smells really nice, definately doesn't have this classic bad foundation smell. I can't really complain about my skin, I don't have too bad breakouts, if any (lucky me) although I've heard that it does break out some people pretty badly so I wouldn't recommend it for people with bad skin. Also It's not too good for oily skin, it can leave a pretty glossy finish, even if you only have oily T-zone I wouldn't recommend it (L'oreal true match is good for this kind of skin) Overall the staying power is kinda meh, if you don't go through some extremes like rain and sweating etc. then it may last a bit more than half a day, I have noticed that it starts to fade after about 4-6 hours.

Packaging looks a little cheap to me. The glass bottle is nice, adds this expencive feel but then comes the plastic top, not even that strong plastic, I already have a crack in it and I haven't even used it too much or even travelled with it. I'm not liking the design of the pump either, I sound so picky right now but hey, it's a review and I'm sharing my honest opinion here.

In conclusion, I'm having really mixed feelings about it, I like the consistency but the quality isn't the best. I wouldn't recommend it, I think I'll use up this bottle but I definately won't be repurchasing it.

Let me know, have you ever tried this and what do you think?

Have a beautiful, magical, wonderful day!
