Maybelline Fit Me Foundation

I decided to try out the highly raved Maybelline Fit Me Foundation - matte+poreless. I chose the lightest shade 115.

On my first attempt to wear the foundation, I went out after putting it on my entire face - the usual way which I wear any other foundation.. Without any primer. 

Hours later, my face became super orange.. Just like a pumpkin 🎃..

I went to Google and learnt that this is due to oxidisation. Possible solutions found are:

- choose a lighter shade (not possible as this is already the lightest shade available in Singapore)

- use a primer before putting on foundation ( yes! This worked for me.. 😁) 

The product claimed that it is
- matte
- poreless

I like how it looks on my skin. It does make my pores less obvious. 

It kept me matte for about 4 hours. Like other foundations, blotting of T zone is required for me. Another pro - no foundation was transferred to the tissue when blotting. 

After 8 hours of wearing I started to see some texture near my mouth. 

Overall, this is definitely worth a try, considering the price, performance and it's easily available! 😊 

Mediplus all in one gel

The advertisements of this product often appear when I am browsing Facebook. It claims that it is an all in one, (so toner, emulsion, serum and moisturiser can be skipped).

After contemplating for months, I finally decided to give this a try.

I love the packaging as it has a "lock" for the pump ( as shown in the picture below) to avoid wastage due to unintentional pressing of the pump.

On the first day which I use it, I used the recommended amount  - 2 pumps. It was a wrong move for me as I have combination skin. It was very tacky and I was hoping that it will be better after some time when skin drinks up the moisture.. But it didn't. So my face felt sticky thoughout the day and later became too oily by the end of the day. Once I reach home after work, I can't wait to cleanse it off from my face.

I am now using it only as a night moisturiser, and I am using no more than 1 pump of it.

I am not likely to repurchase it as there are other products which worked better for me.

Have you tried it? Do share with me it worked for you! 
