Maybelline Dream nude Airfoam foundation!

I nearly didnt try this product because of all the negative posts about it, It was on offer in superdrug and decided to give it a go!.




I found the color match to be really good, im about a NC15/20 in mac so im quite pale and this is a great match. Im usially a Light porclain in Maybelline Dream satin liquid which is my go to foundation and has been for a long time now. If you are struggling to find your shade you can look at all the colors on there website - http://www.maybelline.co.uk/products/135/face/foundation/dream-nude-airfoam/light-beige/8?shadeId=908

Ive seen a few videos on youtube of people putting the foundation on and it not turning out right, most of those people were applying it wrong. If you follow the instructions on the can it works ok, its nothing groundbreaking but it works. I shaked the can and applied a bit on the back of my hand dapped my finger in it a tiny bit and applied it to my face in small circular motions. This does take longer than it would do to use a normal foundation so if you are stuck for time go with something else. For people with dry skin this is a complete no go! If you read my previous post about my dry skin once it had started to get better and no burning i put some of this on and it just clinges to all the dry and looks awful. It would be better for people with oily/normal skin.

Overall i liked this foundation but probibly wouldnt repurchase and im sure i will use it up in time.

Clearasil Perfecta Wash.

When i first saw this on some well known american youtube channels i couldnt wait to try it!.


It has an electronic senser pump dispenser which i think is a great consept!, I have the ones for hand soaps which i love.


It is easy to put together and simple to use, you also get the batterys with the pack which is always a bonus.


Now comes my honest review. At first i was very pleased with it. I fount the dispenser very convenient and the product smelt lovely!. I used it for 5 days and followed the instructions to a T, now is the bad part. It dried my skin out completely i have normal skin maybe a little oily around my nose at the end of a day but never ever dry. There was worse to come than a bit of dry skin! my face started to burn and it was a consistant burning sensation my skin started to peal and was very red, i couldnt even put a sensitive moisturiser on. I didnt get rid of any spots at all if anything it made them worse. I couldnt wear make-up anything that came incontact with my skin burnt! therefore i didnt leave the house for a week!.

I am currently waiting to hear from the Clearasil customer service, on reading the ingredients there is nothing that immediatly makes me think illergic reaction.

I would not recommend this product to anyone but if you have bought this product i recommend trying it out on a very small area of skin to avoid going through what i have been through.

You can get this in superdrug for £8.99
