Maybelline Pure Makeup + Target visit


Spending time on youtube causes me to go out and buy new things.
Anyways, I got the mini pink drawer for $5, all of my brushes are going to go in there. :) The I purchased Maybelline Pure Makeup, Sonia Kashuk's beauty blender, and NYC loose powder.
I was watching one of the videos and a girl was showing how to use Sonia Kashuk's blender. I usually apply my liquid foundation with my fingers but I really am getting tired of it. Her face looked flawless and her foundation evenly blended after applying it with the sponge. The original beauty blender costs $20 but I spent $9.99 for mine :) I will update on how it goes.
The NYC loose powder is mainly for setting my foundation. I usually use Physician's formula talc-free pressed powder but it costs $12 a pop! The NYC powder is supposed to be oil-controlling, non-pore clogging, and it only cost me $2.97.
I took a picture of it just cause I wanted to show how it the texture was and how it blends out. I blended this out with my finger. The texture is definitely light, I personally think you can feel the water in it, which I have no problem because it's oil free. It dries to a matte finish and I guess if you want, you can set it with powder.
I mainly bought this for in-home stay or when i'm on a quick run. I just need something light to even out my skintone and most tinted moisturizers break me out. I have a lot of redness in my skin and this covers it well. I find that if you use a foundation brush, you can get more coverage.
