Review: Maybelline's "Fit Me" collection

Earlier this year, I was on a hunt for a new foundation that would last all day with medium-full coverage and I stumbled upon this:




The Maybelline Fit Me foundation in shade 220. 

This foundation is truly amazing! It is more of a watery consistency but is very pigmented and hides almost everything.  Because of the watery consistency, it doesn't cake on my face and a little goes a long way.
My sister also loves this product. She has dry skin and we've found that it doesn't stick to the dry patches or make her skin look worse which can be the case for some foundations.

I imagine it would also be good for oily skin tones as it has a matte finish which gives a more natural look for everyday wear. It is easy to blend into the skin. I use my Real Techniques buffing brush which I find works really well with this product.



I honestly can't rave enough about this foundation! 

The next time I was in the Maybelline section, I discovered that there is also a concealer and powder in this collection so I of course bought them both.




This collection can be found at most pharmacies and department stores that sell Maybelline, however not all stores sell all the shades. I found that only larger stores such as Target, Myer, David Jones and Big W sell my shade whereas places such as Coles and Woolwoths only sell a small collection of shades. The retail prices for the three products are as follows:

Maybelline "Fit Me" Foundation: $18.95 AUD
Maybelline "Fit Me" Concealer: $14.95 AUD 
Maybelline "Fit Me" Powder: $14.95 AUD

The range also comes with a blush and a bronzer but I have enough of those already so I didn't buy them but let me know if you have tried them and what you think in the comments below!


Personally, the concealer and powder aren't my absolute favourite but they do the job. I prefer my collection 2000 lasting perfection concealer - I find that this concealer isn't  sticky enough to hide my blemishes- and I am still looking for the perfect powder but if you are looking for an affordable, quality collection then I would highly recommend trying out this range!
