Drugstore Dream Foundation!

I have never been a brand snob. I have always shopped and bought from both ends of the spectrum. From Nordstrom's to Target and everywhere in between. This has always been the case with ONE exception! Up until recently I barely ever bought drugstore makeup. I might buy a eyeliner here and there when I was in a pinch but I would never fall in love and make a drugstore brand my go to. I always thought there is no way it is as good as the high end stuff. Let me tell you what..I could not have been more wrong! If I poured out my makeup bag on a table you would find far more drugstore brands than high end. In the next couple days I am going to do a "My Favorite Products" post but today I want to focus on my favorite foundation...


L'Oreal Magic Nude Liquid Powder is by far the best foundation I have ever used! I bought it in a pinch when I was out of town about a month ago and left my other foundation on the counter in my bathroom. I kid you not when I tell you that the moment it went on I was in love!

Pro's:
  • Goes on smoothly and evenly. This is important because I sometimes find that heavier foundations are not as smooth and leave my face looking uneven.
  • Dries quickly and gives a matte finish. I am naturally oily and so having a matte finish is important for me so I don't look like i rubbed french fries all over my face LOL
  • I have read some reviews that says this foundation does not last but I do not find that to be the case. I can put this one and seal with translucent powder and I find mine stays all day.
  • It does also have a good color variety so it is pretty easy to match your skin tone.
  • It's $10! I mean seriously, who wouldn't use an amazing foundation that only costs $10! This is definitely one of my favorite pro's LOL!
There is only really one con that I found and that is that it is really runny. This is because it is lightweight and dries quickly. I pour the foundation on my hand first and then use that as my palette. You have to make sure not to tilt your hand or it will run everywhere. I have had some moments where it went all over because I wasn't paying attention. However, for all the pro's I will sacrifice!

I am such a big believer in this foundation. This is me this morning in the car. I am not a big selfie person but wanted to show you what it looks like on.  I am a big believer!

**Side note, did you know the word selfie has been added to the dictionary?**


So try it out and let me know what you think. I am loving it and hope that you will too! Check back tomorrow when I show you my favorite Thanksgiving recipes! Until tomorrow...

Love Always,
Katie
