Maybelline Master Glaze by FaceStudio - Make a Mauve

 
 
Hello internet beauties! I have a new product from a NEW line from Maybelline cosmetics. The line is FaceStudio and the product is their Master Glaze a cream stick blush. At my CVS it was $8.99.
 
Here's what Maybelline had to say:
 
  • Cheeks go dewy and gently glazed with this portable, creamy blush stick.
  • Glazed pearls + a shea butter glide provide blendable, natural color and smooth, even application.
  • Fragrance Free. Non-comedogenic. Suitable for all skin types.



  • Ok, I did not love this product. More and anything I was upset with the price and the amount of that is product given. I measured this sucker and it was HALF AN INCH for pretty much 9 BUCKS! SMH Maybelline. I felt a little cheated, and after trying out the product it didn't even last the whole day on my cheeks with foundation or not! I barely got 4 hours of wear before it faded and there nothing but shimmer, glitter left. No ma'am and sir! It wasn't for me!
     
     
    I do, however, agree with the claims made by Maybelline. It does give a dewy look to the skin but oily skin people BEWARE it can make your cheeks look like a disco ball! It was VERY creamy and blended effortlessly. One could definitely control the intensity of the color on the cheek since it was BUILDABLE as well.
     
     
     
    This Master Glaze by Maybelline wasn't for me, but if you tried it and loved it, let me know! I would love to read about your experiences with this product.



    Drink up, beauties!
     

    Covergirl TruBlend Fix Stick Concealer - Deep D5-6-7

     
    Hello all! I have a new product to share with you all! It's the new Covergirl TruBlend FixStick Concealer ($6-7). I have to admit, that I am not a fan of Covergirl and when they have new products, I don't even look their way. It was my obsession with concealers that compelled me to buy this. Along with new concealers, Covergirl has new TruBlend foundation to go along with them. There are SIX shades available of this concealer and I got the darkest: Deep D5-7.
     
     
    




    This concealer is the typical crayon that you can twist up and down from a point at the bottom. This was VERY creamy and easy to blend on the skin. I definitely say it was BETTER at blending than the L'Oreal True Match Concealer which I review side by side HERE. This was a good match for my skin tone is reference to DEEPNESS, but it was the WRONG UNDERTONE. I am more yellow toned and this was more NEUTRAL. Actually, this whole new Covergirl line is catered more to neutral skin tones.

     

    Overall, I thought this was a good concealer on how well it blended, lasted on the skin, and the it gives good medium coverage, BUT I did return it. I could not use it how I wanted to because of the mix-match undertone. On me, it make my under eye area look TIRED and in natural light you could DEFINITELY pick up on ALL the little areas on my cheeks I tried to cover using it.
