So in my quest for the perfect foundation, I decided the other day to try something different. After nearly a year of using Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation, I decided that maybe I should venture out of my Bourjois rut. After seeing a few reviews online, I decided to try out Maybelline Dream Satin Liquid for myself. And I have to say that I'm rather impressed.
This is a picture of the product:
My face pre-foundation (please excuse my hair, I do that after my make-up):
As you can see, I have very pale skin, with a few red blotches. I usually go for something medium coverage with yellow tones in the palest shade to give me a flawless complexion. When I bought Maybelline Dream Satin Liquid I noticed that instead of my usual yellow toned foundation, this one seems to be more pink tones. I also noticed how lovely and creamy the texture was, which is ideal for my dry skin.
This is a picture of how much I used:
I use a foundation brush every single day, I find them so much easier to spread the product. After putting on the foundation I noticed that it was a slightly better shade for my skin than my Healthy Mix, both of which I purchased in the palest shade. I was also pleased that it was a little cheaper than my Bourjois foundation. It gave the same flawless effect, but I noticed that Dream Satin made my skin a little more dewy than Healthy Mix. I also love that it has a pump applicator, it's so much more hygienic and easier to control how much foundation you want.
This is what it looks like on:
Overall, I think that I prefer this to Healthy Mix simply because it gives my skin that dewy glow. Also, I love the texture of the foundation, it really feels like I'm not wearing any. Although, I am yet to find a foundation that really matches my skin tone. I was thinking about trying Infallible Brush, but not sure what it's like.
Another thing that I did was test the staying power, as I don't like to wear powder (I find it clogs my skin too much). Well, today was perfect, a typical windy day with spots of rain. Again, I must say that I'm very impressed with Dream Satin. I think it was definetely well worth the buy.

And that's all I'm updating for today :). I think tomorrow I may test mascaras, I have a lot of time on my hands.
