Foundation Review Friday: Maybelline 'Dream Wonder' Fluid-Touch Foundation

I really debated about reviewing this foundation for Foundation Review Friday because it's been discontinued. However I still see it in some stores, and it's still readily available on Amazon, so I figured it wouldn't hurt.

I have a love-hate relationship with this foundation. It has some really great qualities and some pretty annoying ones. But more about that later.

I can't find too much online about this foundation's claims, since it is being discontinued. I do know that it is supposed to be lightweight and flawless looking on the skin.


The Results


  • The foundation itself is very very thin and liquid-y. It gives about light to medium coverage that is buildable. 
  • It is very lightweight on the skin and is really comfortable to wear. It really does feel like you have nothing on. 
  • It gives a natural looking satin finish on the skin. 
  • It settles onto dry skin making it very noticeable. You definitely need to exfoliate and moisturize well before using this foundation. 
  • After a few hours of wear, I noticed this foundation settled into my pores and looked a little strange. I'd suggest using a pore smoothing primer under it. 
  • You get the product out of the bottle with a (very annoying) dropper, which makes getting the product out time consuming. 

The Verdict

It's an okay foundation, but it would work better for normal skin types who just want a little coverage and maybe to even out the complexion, but otherwise have no skin issues. 

While I can make this work, I feel like it's a little too much work for a drugstore foundation. If I need to add a bunch more steps before applying this foundation and I have others who don't require that, bottom line is, I won't be reaching for this foundation as much. It is a shame because it feels so nice on the skin when initially applied, but it just isn't the best.

The BEST and EASIEST Waffle Recipe! (Blogmas Day 9)

When it starts to get chilly out, I find myself making waffles pretty often. In fact, our Sunday breakfast usually consists of waffles of some kind. And in my house, I'm the designated waffle chef. I have the best recipe for waffles that are truly delicious AND any lazy chefs dream; its all done in one bowl, with ingredients everyone has in their kitchen. Literally foolproof and delicious.

1 Year of Covid-19: A reflection

  It feels like just yesterday we were all feeling the anxiety and uncertainty of a new disease that was spreading quickly around the world that no one truly understood yet. We were facing the first wave of cases, the fear of going outside and being around people and the first round of quarantines and restrictions.  It feels like just yesterday, but also so long ago.  I, and I am sure many others, am feeling a mix of emotions.  Sad for the loss of comfort we once had. Grief for all the lives lost and permanently changed. Thankful for my health and that of my family. Gratitude for the scientists and frontline workers alike, working tirelessly behind the scenes I hope that one day we can return to a new normal. I hope that one day I'll be able to go to work and not feel  afraid  to get too close to my coworkers and patients. I hope that no one will ever again have to face the end of their lives all alone. I hope that no one has their life cut short because of...

Review: Lush Cynthia Sylvia Stout Shampoo

Hello there! So I've been on the hunt for a shampoo to tame my wild hair for ages, so I picked up this during my recent Lush visit  in hopes that it would help with my thick, coarse, dry hair. According to Lush , this has: Stout to calm:  For all hair types but especially beneficial for fluffy, hard-to-manage hair. Friend to all scalps:  Yeast improves the health of the hair and scalp. For a polished finish:  Organic lemon juice is a gentle cleanser that adds masses of shine and gloss. After using this for a little while now, I can say that I'm pretty much still on the fence about it.  Pros:  Though my hair is still a little frizzy, its definitely a bit better than it used to be. My hair is also softer to the touch and shinier.  Cons: I've noticed my hair gets greasier a lot quicker since using this shampoo. I also feel as though it may be drying out my scalp, but it'll take a little more time to know for sure if its because of th...
