Drugstore Foundation Haul & First Impression

I went by CVS today mainly to get a new powder because I think my MAC MSF natural might be breaking me out. I've been wearing it for almost a year and haven't noticed anything until now though. It could be another product I'm using but I can't figure out what it is! Does anyone else have a problem with MAC's mineralized skin finish natural breaking them out?
Maybelline FIT me foundation in 120
I picked up this foundation to try even though I don't have high expectations for it because I have heard that it even makes people with dry skin oily. ew. I wanted to try it out for myself though.

Revlon colorstay foundation
combination/oily
200 nude
I picked up this foundation because this seems to be everyones all time favorite drugstore foundation.

Revlon PhotoReady Powder
Light/Medium
This is what I got to try instead of my mineralized skin finish natural. I hope this works!
Let me know if you would like to see a review on these!


*After I got home from CVS I tried on Revlon colorstay on one half of my face and Maybelline fit me on the other half and Revlon colorstay is definitely winning!
Contemplating exchanging the Maybelline fit me foundation..what are your thoughts?*


*PLEASE let me know if you have tried any of these products because I would LOVE to hear your experience with them!

Sonia Kashuk Blending Sponge

This week I purchased the Sonia Kashuk blending sponge.

I've been wanting to try a sponge application after hearing about the Beauty blender (the pink sponge).

I couldn't bare the thought of spending $20 on a sponge so I got the Sonia Kashuk version of the beauty blender for $9.99

(I've also heard that there is an even cheaper version from Ulta) I am really liking this blending sponge! I've used it for three applications (using my MAC studio fix fluid) and I just love the coverage it gives you. The application is so even and you can build up the coverage as much as you would like.

You must soak the sponge before using it to apply foundation. It doesn't come with directions which is the downside but you MUST soak this under water then squeeze it out.

I use the bottom of the sponge for the majority of my face and the top pointy part for places like around my nose and under my eyes.
The right is the beauty blender (which I do not own) and the left is the Sonia Kashuk blending sponge. You can see that there is a bit of a shape difference but I feel like the shape of the cheaper one is even better!


Have any of you tried the beauty blender?
Have you all had great experiences with the Sonia Kashuk blending sponge like I have?

Maybelline Super Stay vs. MAC Studio Fix Fluid

I have had my MAC studio fix fluid for a while and I had recently heard good things about Maybelline Super Stay Makeup so I decided to give it a try

Maybelline- Nude MAC- NW20
L: Maybelline R: MAC
I think that they look pretty similar here don't you think?

Once they are blended (just using my fingers) it almost appears that the Maybelline blended better but it could just be that the color matches me better?

I like both of these products pretty equally but there is quite a bit of price difference so if you're trying to save some money then I would go for the Maybelline.

Has anyone else tried these? Which one do you like better?
