Posts with tag dream matte mousse

This week, I am doing a special series of Drugstore Beauty Queen posts -- Laying the Foundation.

Every woman has one, though it may be different for each woman. It's that one cosmetic -- whether it be lip gloss, blush, or mascara -- of which she will never find "The One." She will try a different brand, a different formula, a different shade every time, find it unsuitable, and try yet another one, only to be dismayed again.

For me, it's foundation. I swear I don't think I have purchased the same foundation twice. I try one, hate it, but use it until it's done because I can't bear to throw it away, then try something else. The only exception is a bottle of La Prairie Skin Caviar Concealer and Foundation, but again, I didn't buy it a second time because who can actually afford to pay $165 for foundation?!?!

So this week, I will be sharing with you all my adventures through foundation (all drugstore, because I am convinced that there is a drugstore brand that will work) over the past two months. Do not worry. I do not wear that much makeup that I actually went through five bottles of foundation in two months. I just have five bottles of half-used foundation!

Today, it's Dream Matte Mousse by Maybelline, which runs about $8-9 in the drugstore. I have to hand it to Maybelline for their branding. The name "dream matte" alone made me want to buy it.
