Maybelline FIT


Walgreens currently (01/09-15) has a sale on Maybelline, Covergirl, and Revlon products. SALE 
Their Maybelline sale is buy one and get one 50% off.
Of course I had to try the new addition to the maybelline family--FITme!

The line consists of liquid foundations, concealers, bronzers, blushers and powders
fyi: I am shade 120 in this line. For concealer (under the eye) I am shade 110. (In MAC, I am shade NC25 and NC20 in powder, foundation (under eye) NW20. MUFE HD 120)

FOUNDATION: 18 colors (boasts that it allows skin's natural highs and lows to shine through- no oils, no waxes)
Extremely light weight and moisturizing.  
Very blendable 
Breathable
Non-cakey 
Natural appearance 
Acts as a 2nd skin that hides imperfections
Inexpensive
Medium to full- buildable coverage
PLUS- The display has mini testers attached to them for swatching

CONCEALER 6 Colors
Very blendable
Creamy
Long-lasting
Thick enough to cover flaws
Does not cake when powder applied over
Full coverage
PLUS- The set-up is made so that concealers are placed in shade range you are in making it easier to select the shade that's suitable for you! :)

BLUSHERS 12 Colors
Sheer to medium coverage
Pigmented for a natural glow but buildable for night-time affairs
True to color (what you see is what you get)
Easy to blend
Long-lasting and non-fading color! *12+ hrs of wear*

CONS:
Narrow variety of colors for color range (4 different colors for each type of shade- light, medium, deep)

POWDERS 18 Colors
Non-scented
Non-cakey- even with touch ups
Smooth finish
Finely milled and won't fill in fine lines like some mineral powders do
CONS:
Packaging could be improved- Mirror is located under the powder which makes it a hassle to apply while looking in the mirror if you need additional powder. 
Packaging is a little bulky

This has got to be the best drug-store foundation I have ever tried. For the price you pay ($8 something at Walgreens. You can score this line on AMAZON for around $6 something. Search Amazon.com for maybelline fit me) It is worth every cent. I'd dare to say it is comprable in texture and application to MUFE HD foundation ($40 at Sephora) It has 18SPF so in that respect, it's a hit and miss if taking flash photos at night. (FITme= Minimal white cast-sometimes, MUFE HD= no white cast- ever!) But, for daytime use, it is a cheaper alternative and truly gives you flawless skin.
