Reviews: MAC MV2 Perfume & Maybelline Dream Liquid Mousse Foundation

::I thought I would do a review on MAC's perfume called "MV2". I know this perfume isn't new or anything, but I thought I would review it for those who are curious about it or for those that didn't even know they had perfume. MAC sells 5 perfumes: MV1, MV2, MV3, Pinkaura, & Turquatic, and I like the MV2 the best. Last week I purchased MAC's Turquatic Perfume (this one is the top seller of there perfume line), but it didn't smell all that great on me, so I exchanged it for the MV2 and it smells sooo good! It has a soft vanilla, Lemony, and kind of sweet smell and some of you may even like it as a fall or winter scent, because of it's cozy but delicious scent, but I don't follow the rules and I will be wearing this until I'm tired of it! lol

MV2

Cool, calm, and classic. Vanilla teased with lemon, melted with lavender creme, and then given a warming shot of vanilla bourbon mixed with vanilla mousse and heliotrope.

Rating: 4 Stars ****

Price: $22.50

Pros: It smells really soft and kind of sweet and the scent stays on you all day. The price of $22.50 so it won't break the bank.

Cons: The bottle is more packaging then perfume.

::Okay, I've had this foundation for a few months now and I finally decided to do a review on it. I have it in the color Caramel (I'm between NC45-NC50) and it has pretty good coverage. I was very surprised that I was able to find a color that matched my skin well because I have NEVER EVER been able to wear any of Maybelline's foundations because they are either too light or too dark for me. This foundation glides on smoothly and you don't need too use much to get full coverage and it does give the appearance of an airbrush look. My gripe about this foundation is that it DID NOT stay on all day and it made my face oily! I applied a primer underneath it and a powder over it and it just won't stay on past a couple hours. =o(I can't remember if I purchased this at Target or Walgreens, but it was around $7 or $8 and that's good because these stores usually have some sort of sell on it or you may find a coupon for it. Overall, I will not buy it again and I probably won't use the rest of this because I would have to keep applying it all day.

New Items From Maybelline!

::On my lunch break I decided to goto one of my favorite stores...TARGE' (Target) to browse (which I always leave out of there with something) and of course I had to mosey wosey along through the makeup aisles and I came across some new items by Maybelline. I came across a new mascara called "Maybelline Lash Stilleto" and also a new foundation called "Maybelline Dream Liquid Mousse Airbrush Finish Foundation."

**Please excuse the pics for not being so clear, I tried to take them quickly as possible so people wouldn't think I was a nut case for standing there taking pics of the makeup.. lol

Maybelline Dream Liquid Foundation Airbrush Finish

**It looks like I'm missing fingers..lol

::The Maybelline Dream Liquid Mousse Airbrush Finish Foundation (that is way too much to say) comes in a variety of colors ..I can't remember all of the colors, but I do know that there about 3 colors for us brownie girls such as Tan, Caramel, and Cocoa.

::Okay I'm guilty as sin when it comes to testing out makeup in non department stores, makeup stores, and counters because I hate having to go back to return makeup. While I was in Target I tried on the MDLMAF in the color Caramel and to my surprise..the color matched my skin perfectly! I DO NOT have luck when it comes to matching my skin tone for foundation and this maybe a cheap alternative when I don't want to pay a pretty penny for foundation. This foundation can be worn for sheer to buildable coverage and it would go on smoothly with a duo fiber stippling brush. I think with concealer and setting it with a powder, this foundation would be actually pretty good. It's an hour in half later and the area where I applied the foundation still looks smooth and matte and it hasn't faded...I maybe going back to make the purchase. =o)

::So far I will give it a 5 stars.
