Review, Swatches & Tagged

Hey all~~~
I am doing all three things in this post .. because I'm so behind haha...
any ways. Lets start with the Maybelline Angel-Fit Foundation...

It's said that It's the #1 Drug Store Foundation in Japan./ Asia... It claimed to be so. and They did tests on the foundations. []Click Here[] for a video of a Japanese Makeup artist using the foundation.
I bought the Liquid foundation in N02, and the Powder in B01. I order it from sasa.com check it out their price is pretty good too. I love the liquid foundation, but the powder is also good, the only thing is it has pink pearls/shimmer. It's kind of Sparkly, I guess it's good for summer giving you that GLOW, but winter wise I wouldn't go for it.
That's the back of the package for the Powder.
Trying it on my hand, it spreads well, doesn't try up too fast. I tell you how I apply this foundation. Pump some on the back of my left hand, use my three fingers of right hand, dab some on my fingers and just circle motions on my face. then DONE~~ it looks perfect, no streaking, no messy brushes and what ever. Takes the LEAST amount of time and looks picture perfect. LOVE IT............


That's how it looks right after it's applied. Give it about 2-3 minutes to settle and matches your skin PERFECT. like seriously looks good. It's a semi-matte finish with illuminising effect I guess. Gives you that glow. you can sort of tell from the picture below that it's quite glowy.. ~~~which is good, doesn't make your skin look tired and DEAD matte.

Here's a picture of my BARE FACE straight after moisturiser. and I wear glasses at home. LOL too lazy to put on contact lenses><> NOW a picture of my with angel fit foundation.. HAHA are you surprised??~~ Cuz I AM. my skin looks so much better. pores looks better. no more acne scars. horrible red spots. look so smooth. I LOVE IT. ~~~~~

Reviews:
Liquid Foundation[][]
Click Here[] For a Detailed makeupalley Foundation Review.
It's non-oily,, controls oil better than my Mac Studio Fix Fluid (NC 20). It goes you glow all day without making you look greasy even after 5 hours. I usually go oily, I have combo/oily skin Acne proned tooT___T. This foundation is Light, Thin, skin is breathable YET covers well. I would say it's a medium coverage. A little goes LONG way, considering the price I think it's better than some HIGH end products. I tried Bobbi Brown's Natural XXXX foundation, Twice the price but not as good as this one.
As for break outs, I've used it for a week every day. Nothing happens no break outs so far. It doesn't settle into find lines. It's super easy to take off with any face wash, doesn't have to be oil cleanser or make up remover. It's not like some foundations that sits on top of the face like paint. Staying power is good too. after 7-8 hours it's still there. just have to blot a bit. It's good, I stopped using BB creams/ foundation. just this ~~~ it's good........ have to try it ~~~~~~


The Powder[][]
I love the powder it self, Light on skin, doesn't CAKE up. really good for touch ups I think. absorbs all the oil away and the make up still look thin/fresh. not like you have TONS of powder on. It doesn't have that POWDERY feel/look either. the powder is quite finely milled. The experiments they did in Taiwan during promotion is that the powder floats on top of the water while other brands sank to the bottom. So i t proves this powder is light and fine.
Only thing I didn't like was the pearl/shimmer it had inside. If you like that glowly look go for it. but for me it was a bit too shimmery.


Lipstick Swatches:
I bought the new ANGEL lipstick from MAC. just comparing it with other lipsticks I have and are often used.
Left to RIght: Modesty, Angel, Lollipop Loving, Jubilee, Nars Dolce Vita.

Swatch it on a tissue for a better colour idea I guess. (in the same order)
