Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse Foundation Review

I am always on the look out for new foundation products to see if I can find a gem in the drugstore. One day I was browsing through Walgreens and saw Maybelline having a great sale so I checked out that section.

I saw the Dream Matte Mousse Foundation on the shelf which looked like a fun little container (that always drags me in hehe). I purchased this product for a reasonable price around $8 and took it home!

The first time I tried using this matte mousse foundation, it felt like silk when I touched it with my fingers. The foundation is very smooth and creamy which is a plus. I find that this Maybelline foundation is in my top 5 of foundations because it is SO blendable! The only concern I have is when you put too much of it on, then it starts to cake over. I usually put a bronzer on top of this product and it works out very well. This doesn't make my face look oily and it is the longest lasting foundation I've ever bought. I would definitely recommend this dream matte mousse foundation to anyone who is looking for a light look everyday!

Herbal Essence Mousse Set Me Up Review

My hair is very strange because if I let it air dry it becomes a frizzy disaster while if I scrunch it with regular mousse it gets too crunchy and hard. I could never find the perfect balance for my hair until I found Herbal Essence Set Me Up Mousse at the drugstore in an aqua colored bottle. It was a skinnier bottle of mousse then I had ever boughten before but the price was affordable so I bought it. The first thing I did was sniff the mousse before applying it and oh my goodness I have never smelled something so delicious for my hair! I would actually wear Set Me Up perfume if herbal essences came out with it :) But anyways, I took a shower first and brushed out my hair straight. I then dried my hair lightly with a towel so there were no drips.

My routine with mousse is to have my hair brushed stick straight and then put a dollop of mousse in my hand. I then rub my hands together and evenly disperse the set me up mousse throughout one side of my head. I then repeat those steps to do the other side. After I think it is all even, I start to scrunch with my fingers upwards and hold for 5-10 seconds each time. My hair looked like it was staying pretty nicely and it dried perfectly. My hair was not crunchy but it was the perfect hold in the middle. I use this mousse everyday because it is so easy to do instead of straightening my hair! I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants a yummy smelling mousse that is firm but not crunchy!
