First Opinions- Maybelline FIT Me! Anti-shine Stick Foundation

Hey there!
So I thought I'd start doing a new thing, whenever I get a new product ( makeup, skincare etc.) I will write a blog post on my first opinions after I've used it once or twice, then I can go on to do a full review when I've used up quite a lot of it.
Good idea?
I hope so!

My first first opinions is going to be on the Maybelline FIT Me! Anti-shine Stick Foundation!
Okay so very first thing I notice, the name is a mouthful! But that's not really relevant haha


Packaging-
It's very sleek and fancy looking (partly the reason why I bought it!)


Shade-
I am in the shade 115 Ivory and it matches my skin tone pretty well.



Quantity-
You get a decent amount and I reckon this will last me for a while.


Coverage-
I knew this foundation wasn't meant to be the highest coverage but I guess I didn't quite understand how light coverage it was going to be, definitely not a foundation made to give you flawless skin.

Long lasting?-
This is reasonably long lasting for the fact it's not a foundation made to last a super duper long time, I can't really tell how long it fully stays for though.

Does it meet it's explanation?-
So far I am seeing ZILCH happening on the anti-shine promise. I put this on and if anything I am twice as shiny. I am pretty sure the point of this foundation is that you don't have to use  a powder and it has it built in...not too sure that's true.
Even when I apply my Rimmel Stay Matte (the best pressed powder I have ever used!) which usually keeps me matte for a good 4-5 hours, no fail, this bugger manages to somehow shine on through!

Overall-
I am not a happy bunny with this foundation, I thought better of you Maybelline.
I would rate this 4/10
This product looks lovely in the packaging but not on my face.



I hope you enjoyed my first first opinions!
Tell me in the comments if you think this is a good idea?
Until next time...

Spooktacular Tag!

Hello you beautiful people!

So I know I am posting this on 1st November and it's a Halloween tag but I only just realised I was tagged to do this and I wanted to do it for the girls who tagged me!
(I was tagged by two very beautiful girls with a Youtube channel called: OurFashion123 go check them out, subscribe, tell them I sent you!)
Now into the tag!

1. Do you still trick or treat?
Funny story really, as a child I NEVER went trick or treating, my parents just never took me (major childhood trauma!) but I have gone the past two years and I was going to go this year but then my friends decided to be boring and didn't want to go :(
But I plan to go next year!

2. Do you like going to haunted attractions?
NO! I am soo easily scared and they just scare me a little too much.

3. Favourite Halloween candy?
I don't know about a specific Halloween sweet I like but recently I've been loving NERDS (does that count?)

4. Favourite Halloween movie?
Casper! That has always been one of my favourite Halloween films it's just so cool!
And I cry every time when the girl sees her Dad is a ghost :'(



5. Favourite scary movie?
Usually I hate scary films for the same reason I don't go to haunted attractions, they just scare me too much! And especially with scary films, for AGES after I watch them I am so paranoid wherever I go.
However, recently I've been loving the film The Cabin In The Woods, I think it's the way it's very scary but it has breaks, it's not like continuously scary the whole way through, there is a good story line as well!


6. Favourite costume you ever wore as a child?
Well as I said I never used to go trick or treating but every year we would have a family Halloween party and I would ALWAYS be a witch, no fail.

7. First costume you can remember wearing?
Witch...did I not just explain, I was ALWAYS a witch haha

8. Favourite Fall food and beverage?
I don't really know what specific Autumn foods and drinks there are?
I guess for beverage I love drinking hot chocolate in the Autumn and snuggling up and getting all cosy.
As for food I guess I really love pies...does that even count as an Autumn food? But not like dessert pies, savoury ones, with vegetables in them, that's where it's at!

9. Do you have a festive background on your phone?
No but I really wish I had done now, I'm just so in love with my little collage background I never think to change it.

10. What are you going to dress up as this year?
I was going to be a red Indian girl but then my friends bailed on me so I was sad :(


11. What would Pinecone be? (or YOUR pet?)
I don't really have a pet that's mine but we do have two family cats and if I could I'd dress one of them up as a vampire and one as a unicorn...that would be SO cool!

12. What candy do you have left in your stash after you've eaten everything else?
Now here's the thing with me, I always eat the things I least like first and save best till last, I do that whenever I eat, so that last things I would have would be like Harribo or Mars or any kind of Cadbury's chocolate... (or something sherbet)

13. Do you decorate your house?
No, my family honestly just don't get into the whole Halloween thing, I didn't even have a pumpkin this year!!!!!

14. Pumpkin Patches, Corn Mazes or Hay-rides?
I have never been to any of these because they're all mainly American things but from what I've seen I would probably enjoy any of them (as long as it's not the haunted versions!)

15. Going to a Corn Maze, what do you wear?
Again, I don't really know because I've never been to one but I'd probably wear:

  • Black leggings
  • Some kind of warm jumper
  • Boots
  • Most likely a snood

So that was my embarrassingly late Spooktacular Tag, I hope you all enjoyed your Halloween festivities....
Now onto Christmas!
,Belle
