Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse Foundation Review

I'm so freaking tired of my oily skin. I'm not even kidding. My face gets oily even after I wash my face. As such, I need products that can effectively mattify my skin so that I would not worry about looking haggard all day long. This is where Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse foundation comes in. I actually did not buy this, my sister gave it to me since she doesn't use it anymore. She bought this a long time ago so I don't know if this is still available here in the Philippines. It was not available the last time I checked at department stores BUT you can still browse it at the Maybelline website. (Here's the link: https://www.maybelline.com/face-makeup/foundation/dream-matte-mousse-foundation) Anyway, I tested it out. It has a promising product description from Maybelline. I also searched reviews on this and most of them testified that this is a great product. And before long, here I am posting my own review.





The packaging is real classy. I love it! The product is encased in a small glass jar (Idk how it's called). Moreover, It's travel friendly because it can fit snugly at your make up pouch. Although, you should be careful because it might break if it falls really hard.


You'll see and feel a clump, creamy powder foundation inside. For me, it feels like in between powder and liquid foundation. It's super creamy and soft that it actually feels nice on the skin. I have mine in the color of light classic ivory. I know that Maybelline offers wide range of colors so be sure to check it out.


This is how it looks at my skin. When you put it on, it'll clump a little because of its powder-ish texture. It's very easy to blend since it's sooo SOFT. It feels really nice on the skin.

Maybelline Product Description:
Since I don't have the box, I'll just copy what's on the website.
Stay matte for 16 hours with this lightweight, medium-to-full coverage formula. Features a shine-free finish that doesn't feel heavy.

The product offers medium to perfect coverage. As you can see, it did mattified my skin. Plus, it removed my blemishes including my extreme under eye circles. Moreover, my skin did brightened and it looked fresh. You don't need any pressed or translucent powder to finish your look since it's already matte. I'm sorry though since I forgot to snap a time photo for you guys to see how long it lasts. Based on my experience, mine lasted for at least 3-4 hours since I have extreme case of oily skin. It did not last for 16 hours as said in the product description.

This is how you apply it:


Just swipe it through your face and then blend it using your fingers, brush or beauty blender. I personally recommend for you to just use a brush since I'm lazy and brushes can blend products faster in my opinion. Warning: Do not use a loooot since your face will look super white.

Verdict:

I loooove this product because it does mattify my skin plus it has a classy packaging. I remembered that this costs for about 350-450 pesos (I'm not sure though). My only negative comment about this is my skin started to get oily after about 3-4 hours. But overall, if I see this available I would still buy it.

Clean & Clear Foaming Face Wash Review


Hey guys! I want to share my newly discovered facial wash which is the Clean & Clear Foaming Face Wash. First, I'll just tell you how I came about this product. So I have been searching for an alternative make-up remover other than baby oil because I find most make-up removers expensive. In addition, I prefer washing my face with soap to remove make up residues. However, I couldn't find anything that can clean my face of make-up completely. (especially waterproof ones) Anyway, I saw my sister buying tons of this product so I asked her what she liked about it. She told me that it's an effective pimple eraser. She also said that she searched reviews on this and most of them stated that it can be a make-up remover. Moreover, I observed (haha) the results in her face after she used this in a week and it was satisfying. So why not try it, right?



What I know about this product is that Clean & Clear offers three sizes: 20ml, 50ml and 100ml. Okay I first posted that the smallest size is pretty rare but I stand corrected. Apparently, this is available almost anywhere. You can find it at mercury stores and supermarkets. Anyway, if you compute the cheapest out of all the sizes, it would be the smallest one. Although, this product is very affordable. It's weird by the way because skin care products mostly put discount prices on bigger sizes.

20ml - Php 20.00
50ml - Php 89.00
100ml - Php 147.00

Below are the product shots of the 20ml bottle:





It looks like a sachet at first sight. However, it contains a pretty cute bottle inside which I love. The bottle is absolutely handy and practical. It actually reminds me of the freebies we receive at hotels. You can bring it anywhere when you travel. My tip to you guys is recycle the bottle when you've consumed the soap.

Product Description:

Oil- free - won't clog pores
Helps prevent oily shine & pimples
Gentle enough to use every day for clean and clear skin that glows. Specially designed to clean skin thoroughly to help prevent common skin problems. Its rich foam thoroughly cleanses to remove excess oil and dirt without over drying while special ingredients help prevent pimples. Leaves your skin feeling clean and beautifully clear.

I don't actually use anti-pimple cleansers since it's a breakout trigger for me. Moreover, I already have a anti-pimple routine so this part is not applicable to me. However, I saw how effective the anti-pimple aspect of this product is to my sister. Her pimples lessened after weeks of day and night continued use. 

So here I am testing out the product:


The first thing I noticed is that it is really FOAMING. You just need to get a small amount to your palm and thoroughly massage it to your face. I swear it cleanses like crazy. As you can see, it did brighten my face a little. Moreover it removed excess oils in my face. However, I noticed that it really is drying to the face so you need to use a moisturizer if you're going to use this daily. 

Let's try it as a make-up remover:

Ta da! It really works. It completely removed my make-up. PLUS! it dried up my oily face. 

Verdict:

I am totally in love with this product. The results prove the product's claims and I can testify to it. (Except for the anti-pimple part) However, I'm not sure if this will work for everyone because we all have different skin types. But for only 20 pesos, why not try it out?
