When I saw this Maybelline Fit Me! foundation during the boxing week sale at Walmart, I know I have to snatch it up and do a first impression review for you guys.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>There are a few things I look for in a foundation and they are <em><strong>Packaging<\/strong><\/em>, <em><strong>Coverage<\/strong><\/em>, <em><strong>Texture<\/strong><\/em>, <em><strong>Staying Power<\/strong><\/em>, <em><strong>Scent, Ease of Use, Compatibility of\u00a0my oily combo skin<\/strong><\/em> and <em><strong>how good it looks with flash photography<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>According to the description on the bottle, this foundation:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>is specifically for normal to oily skin<\/li>\n<li>mattifies and refines pores<\/li>\n<li>matches natural tone<\/li>\n<li>is natural with seamless finish<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It also has 12 shades for you to choose from and I am using 130 Buff Beige. \u00a0When I bought it, it was on sale for $7.96 at Walmart. \u00a0Now we shall see if it lives up to its claims.<\/p>\n<p>Since this foundation claims to refine pores and mattifying, I purposely did not apply any primer. \u00a0So I just applied the foundation right on my face using the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sigmabeauty.com\/3DHD_Kabuki_Copper_p\/3dkc.htm\" target=\"_blank\">3DHD Kabuki foundation brush<\/a> by sigma (I will soon have a review on this cool brush). \u00a0I found the consistency of the foundation to be a little thick compared to the <a title=\"Maybelline Dream Wonder\" href=\"http:\/\/www.maybelline.com\/Products\/Face-Makeup\/Foundation\/Dream-Wonder-Foundation.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">Maybelline Dream Wonder<\/a>\u00a0but it&#8217;s extremely easy to blend. \u00a0To me the blendability of the foundation is super important because as a mommy of 3, I don&#8217;t have a lot of time and this foundation only took me 5 to 10 seconds to blend which is a bonus.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/glittermommy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/DSC_0667.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-medium wp-image-318 alignleft\"

left was taken at 11:45am with no flash. \u00a0Picture on the right was taken with flash. \u00a0I am pretty impressed so far, the foundation looks pretty matte for not having primer and powder on top. \u00a0 I am very interested to see how it holds out throughout the day.<\/p>\n<p>It was an uneventful day at our household, we didn&#8217;t go out, we just stayed at home doing house chores and playing with the kids including giving a lot of kisses with each other :). \u00a0The picture was taken at 6:00pm and I think it still looked pretty good and semi-matte. \u00a0But you can definitely tell the blush has worn off and some of the blemishes are peeking through.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/glittermommy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/DSC_0432.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\"

fresh and they never claim that it is long lasting, so it is only fair that it melted away.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/glittermommy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/DSC_0435.jpg\"><img

coverage<\/li>\n<li>Even though the consistency of the foundation seems a little heavier compared to other Maybelline ones, when it is applied on the face, it feels pretty comfortable<\/li>\n<li>No flash back on flash photography hence good choice for photoshoot<\/li>\n<li>Didn&#8217;t feel like the product clogs my pores, perfect for my oily combo skin<\/li>\n<li>Good price<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Cons:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Typical drugstore foundation packaging &#8211; no pump<\/li>\n<li>Might not be able to last a full work day before the foundation starts breaking down<\/li>\n<li>Strong yellow undertone (it&#8217;s great for me) but might not be for some other people<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Overall, I really like this foundation, it&#8217;s perfect coverage and texture for me to use on a daily basis. \u00a0I would recommend this foundation for people that has oily skin as it might not be moisturizing enough for drier skin people. \u00a0Furthermore, I am totally in love with how easy it blends. \u00a0It really took no effort.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Thank you very much for reading and if you have tried this foundation, please share what you think

it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; I am always on the hunt for a good drugstore foundation that is comparable to the high-end ones.
