*Maybelline Dream Matt Mousse Foundation*

(Sorry for the terrible phone picture quality)

Hope you're all doing well!

My beauty posts are usually just about nail varnish and designs so I thought I would try something new and what better way to start than with this amazing product.

I'm new to the makeup world as I have only been wearing day makeup for about a year and a half now. Being 21 that may be a little shocking to some of you beauty addicts in the blogosphere but I never felt the need to wear it. Other than turning a tomato red during exercise and the occasional class presentation I was quite happy with my skin. I was also weary of the fact that wearing makeup makes your skin worse but I was never aware of how flawless it can make your skin look when on. I do feel my skin has become a little worse since wearing foundation daily but it could also be that now I can see the comparison so who knows. However, this hasn't put me off my daily wear and as I still continue my nightly facial routine I know my skin is having the proper care it needs so this is no longer a concern.

The real problem I had when choosing to adopt a daily foundation was, which one? Having only ever worn foundation on nights out and special occasions I had a Clinique double pressed powder bought by my mother which would last around a year. With its slightly hefty price tag this wasn't a problem as it lasted ages but on a daily bases I thought it could become quite pricy. I tried various liquid foundations but they all felt like a mask on my skin. After only being used to wearing a little power I needed something light but with good coverage and that's when someone recommended me this.

For those of you who have never tried it, it's like a pot of mousse and it has such a soft silky feeling it feels like a layer of skin. It's so light and just the slightest layer produces good coverage. I have no major blemishes on my face just a slight redness in patches and for me it is perfect. I use a foundation brush to smooth on a thin layer and then use a slight bit of pressed powder to create a matt finish.

If any of you are like me and likes to wear a bit of foundation to have more confidence but doesn't like the feel of thick liquid foundation on your face then this is the product for you. I can't recomend this enough so if your umming and aaring then just buy it and I swear you won't be let down.

I have shade 03 Sand and the pot lasts around 2 and a half to 3 months with everyday wear and the occasional night. With the cost of the pot being around £7 depending where you shop then I think it's a pretty good bargain for happiness :)

I hope this post has helped and you have enjoyed reading it. Let me know if any of you also use this foundation and what you think.
