Maybelline Dream Liquid Mousse Review in Medium 2: Pure Beige

Maybelline Dream Liquid Mousse in Pure Beige: Medium 2

Maybelline Dream Liquid Mousse Review in Medium 2: Pure Beige

About Maybelline Dream Liquid Mousse:
Air-whipped liquid provides perfecting coverage for 100% poreless skin. Ideal for normal skin.
Oil-free, fragrance-free,  Dermatologist-tested, allergy-tested, non-comedogenic – won’t clog pores, safe for sensitive skin.

I bought Maybelline Dream Liquid Mousse on impulse and still no regrets.

Maybelline Dream Liquid Mousse, a sturdy see through glass bottle with pump. The texture of Mousse is creamy and gives light to medium coverage. The coverage is slightly buildable but won't conceal blemishes and marks. The Finish on skin is Satiny-dewy and for time being skin indeed looks flawless.
The staying power is average, stays on for 4-5 hours and a li'l blotting or powder will be needed to control shiny T-zone or Cheeks.
I have Combination skin with T-zone and Cheeks Oily. And I need to blot and powder my face after 3 hours if I reach for this.

The Oh-so-Good about Maybelline Dream Liquid Mousse:

  1. Dewy and Satiny Finish.
  2. Light to Medium Buildable Coverage.
  3. Photographs well with Flash.
  4. Ideal for Dry skin or Normal.
  5. Blends like a dream.
  6. Fragrance Free, All that good for Sensitive noses.
  7. Non-Comedogenic. So no clogged pores.
  8. Flawless Air Brush Finish, if applied suitable way.
  9. A tiny amount, just a blob is needed for the face.

The Oh-so-unworthy about Maybelline Dream Liquid Mousse:

  1. Glass Bottle: Not Travel Friendly.
  2. Not ideal for Oily skin.
  3. Settles in Fine lines, if not blended properly.
  4. Shade Selection. One might have to customize to find ideal shade.
  5. Not for Humid Climatic Conditions unless you stay indoors in Conditioned Atmosphere.
  6. It transfers on the Phone. ( atleast for me )


My Verdict:

I love Maybelline Dream Liquid Mousse for its Finish: Flawless and Dewy. So I tend to reach for it when my skin is dry and lifeless. This Perks up the glow and looks natural than made up.
I blend it with Fingers in hurry or Use a Foundation brush from wonder finish. I find stippling it quite tricky, since I have sensitive skin and I turn red in no time. Using a sponge is a way to go, if you need a little more coverage.

Change is in the air...

I have been away. Trying, testing and the time was all about patience. And in the mean time, the world took a turnover.
Nonetheless, I decided to take this space, seriously. Like Seriously.

Trying going Make-up free to wearing make-up every day. Mixing Blushes with Lipstick (I would never wear) to create 'that' shade, Mastering eye makeup (All thanks to Shaz), Experimenting everything and not repeating, Grooming my brows essentially like breathing. Ditching all Cleansers and marrying the good ol' oatmeal. Skipping moisturizer for Jojoba oil. Growing out hair, coloring them a shade darker. Nails : Glitter, Reds and Hot pinks. Following a Night regime, only to wake up glowing. Final solution for the Baby lash.
Eliminating Pizza & soda from diet (harder than I thought).


And then When I'm doing so much, I'd get back to old preaching self as well.

Upcoming:
MUA BB Cream, Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation, NYX Kryolan, Bourjois, Sleek, MUA Blushes, Tresseme Keratin Hair Serum, Its a miracle 10 Hair serum and spray India, Rimmel Stay matte Concealer, Rimmel Kate Moss #16, Sleek Heartbreaker Lipstick, Sleek Face forn Contouring Kit india


Hopefully. I'll capture my signature Daily makeup looks as well.

Glitter Nails & Glitter Nails

Once upon a time...There was this li'l girl who dreamt of glitter. glitter. and only glitter.
And when she'd be bored of glitter, she'd continue with Winged Eyeliner and Red Lips.
And there she'd Paint her nails with glitter again, winging out her eyeliner, putting on her favourite shade of red and setting out to meet her guy.


I hate Rain.
