5-Minute Makeup

Anytime there's a chance for me to get a few extra minutes of sleep in the morning, I take advantage. That being said, a lot of mornings I'm rushing to make sure I get breakfast, pack my lunch and necessary snacks and leave the house with just enough time to get a coffee. Makeup is usually neglected or done in the dark of an almost crowded bus. 
A few weeks ago I started adding this to my morning routine and not only have I been able to get my daily caffeine fix, I even remembered my headphones. 
Un. Real. 

Any moisturizer, primer, and foundation of your choice would work in this case.
I use 1-2 pumps of my moisturizer, a dab of primer and about a nickel sized amount of my foundation all placed on the back of my hand. Mix them together and apply either with clean fingers or a foundation brush. 
Ladies. This takes all of maybe 95 seconds now that I've gotten used to the routine. 
Un. Real. 
Then I usually do a few coats of my mascara, fill in my brows and maybe add some blush and I'm done in less than 5 minutes. Always.

PRODUCT REVIEW: Maybelline FITme! Liquid Foundation

Hi Everyone !
Sorry about the lack of posts over the past few weeks, I was at home and I was to busy having fun and sleeping to even try to muster up the energy to do anything slightly important.

Anyways, on to the review. I was in Walmart right before I was coming back to school and found this new foundation. I haven't even seen any commercials about it yet, so i figured I'd try it out for myself.
Maybelline's FITme! claims to match natural skin tone, blend seamlessly, and allow your natural skin to breathe. and I can very happily say all of those statements are TRUE!

I purchased this product in the color 350 - Caramel and you can see in the bottle it looks kinda light for my skin, but I quick tested it in the store and it turned out to be the perfect match for my skin; Walmart had a chart that you could place your hand under to make sure you were buying a good match, but I had to 100% positive. Another plus, was the shade range, I think there was 15 or 16 from super fair to 2 more colors darker than 350. But don't quote me on that - I'm not 100% on that.
I've been wearing it for the past 4days and have 0 complaints. The product doesn't claim to last all day, but I noticed that after about a 9hour day of class and work my makeup still looked alright, and 9hrs for a drugstore foundation is pretty damn good. I've never used a Maybelline foundation, but I highly recommend this to everyone! For less than $7, it's cheaper than Revlon ColorStay Foundation and has prettymuch the same coverage and it easier to blend than most other drugstore brands

I'm happy with it, and I will definitely be purchasing this foundation again.

THANKS FOR READING, =D
