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.

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...
