The Cover Story: Maybelline FIT me! Concealer

In our quest for perfect skin, sometimes the perfect skincare routine is just not enough. Sometimes our lifestyle choices (or hey sometimes sh*t happens, like not sleeping for more than 2 hours because life just sucks that way) kicks us in the butt and there we go! We have some crazy dark circles or a huge zit on your forehead and your left like, WTF! WHAT NOW?!

Well that’s when some great concealer comes into the picture, literally^.

Maybelline FIT me! concealer is the answer to every girl who is vying for that “I Woke Up this Way” kinda look. This lightweight concealer provides a natural finish while covering up imperfections like a boss! The creamy gel-like texture smooths out effortlessly making application an absolute breeze, which is perfect for when the Snooze-button won the race of time against you. Swipe the doe foot applicator on any blemish/dark spots and whether you choose to blend it out with a brush or your finger, you are winning. And there is no need to really go heavy setting it, I just manage to lightly pat on powder and my skin seems flawless all day! Even on my 12 hour work days! The only thing that usually would need touching up is my powder…

Maybelline states that the ease and natural finish this concealer provides is attributed to its exclusive translucent base and lightweight pigments. And if you are anything like me, sensitive skinned, this is a great option as there are no waxes, oils or fragrances. No nonsense, no fuss, perfect for a lazy girl’s beauty routine.

I really tried hard to find something wrong with this concealer and I guess if we are going to be super finicky they just don’t come enough color options. I use the medium color which I find blends really well with my olive skin tone, and there are only 5 other options… and from my perspective that is so much better than other companies that only provide 3 options.

The price point is an absolute steal given that you could find this as inexpensive as $4 at Target on sale. Some say this is comparable to the Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer, I have yet to try and compare, but with Maybelline doing it right at 6 bucks max I don’t really see a reason to. I’m addicted and I am not ashamed to admit it!

Have you tried the Nars Radiant Cream Concealer and Maybelline FIT me!? What are your thoughts on the comparison? What’s your favorite concealer? Let me know! Leave a comment or tweet me @alostsavant

#MakeupMAYhem Day 2 : This Spring I’m Rockin Tom Ford

Follow my blog with Bloglovin

On the everyday basis I’m rosy nude lipstick/ balm stain wearer, let’s just say my most repurchased lipstick is Revlon Colorburst lipstick in Rosy Nude. I guess you could say I love to stick to what works when it comes to my face. Now that I have hit my “quarter-life crisis” I’ve thought why not try to broaden my horizons huh?! Tom Ford’s lipstick in #15 Wild Ginger has me converted to a full on bright lipcolor girl without feeling like I jumped on the bright lip trend four seasons too late.

Wild Ginger is a lovely rich warm orangey red that makes me feel very much like Mad Men’s Betty Draper, an elegant and classy fresh-faced young lady. The texture is creamy and luxurious. It glides on so smoothly and evenly that I’m not afraid to touch up the center of my pout sans a mirror. What is better… I find it to be very long wearing only needing to touch up after eating, and even then the color faded into a sheer wash of orange with no patchiness whatsoever. According to marketing the smooth creamy texture is attributed to “rare and exotic ingredients, including soja seed extract, Brazilian murumuru butter and chamomilla flower oil.” 

As far as the fragrance, it is nothing offensive or overpowering. It smells slightly of cocoa butter in the bullet and once applied it seems to disappear.

Do I even need to mention the packaging? We all know and can see how beautiful it is, even guys can’t avoid mentioning its elegance when I whip it out for a touch up. It is weighty and always cool to the touch, however its boxy shape isn’t ideal to throw into a teensy clutch, so you’ll have to make some sacrifices and leave one other thing out, don’t get me wrong I am certainly not complaining!

The color is super flattering on my tan skin, and I can see it being so even on the fairest in the land 😉 Anna from viviannadoesmakeup.com raves that this is one of her favorites and she is quite fair.

It is so easy to wear that I feel free to apply whether I’m wearing jeans and combat boots or while donning a blinged out Bollywood sari. If you have tried it let me know what you think! Otherwise I do recommend you give it a swatch one day at your nearest Tom Ford counter.
