Essence All About Matt! Foundation 10 Matt Beige

Greetings unicorns!

I've recently purchased this foundation out of curiosity. Since I have an extremely oily skin, I figure this is a perfect match for me. I believe they have four color selection but only three were available on the rack. I picked up the lightest shade because "medium" is usually 1-2 shades darker than my skin tone (only applicable to Western makeups)

I wish they come out with more color because hello,the world ain't only about FOUR skin colors *roll eyes* Drugstore brands usually have limited color selection for base makeup,at least in my country.




The foundation come in a typical squeeze tube with standard amount of product; 30ml. I think the price is about RM20. Darn cheap! The foundation claims to be
  • oil-free
  • long lasting (12 hours)
  • moisturizing
  • covers imperfection without clogging the pores





The foundation spill into the cap because of its thin, watery consistency. It's tricky to control the product amount accordingly. Without squeezing,it didn't dispense fast enough but when I squeeze the tube,loads of it come out! Fortunately it didn't cake up even when I pile this up on the skin. phew.


The scent of this foundation reminds me of foods. I'm like "woaaa this smells like my childhood food". Funny but it smells like bubblegum?? I honestly love the scent of it. I can't stop sniffing when I was using this for the first time.

Left side - damp sponge / right side - flat top brush

First thing, it has zero coverage. The only thing it did was evening out my skin tone. My rosacea is very much visible after one layer and I've applied a second layer on my problematic area but the redness still peek through.

The good thing is that its weightless on the skin and it does has the "moisturizing" feel to it,strangely the finish is not dewy/shiny at all. It is a teeny tiny tacky so its not completely matte as it claim to be.

It lasts the whole day but my skin feels oily-er towards the end of the day. I didn't touch up at all and my contour and highlight are still visible. My blush is completely gone together with the foundation around my nose,the most oily part of my face.

I would definitely wear this on a daily basis. It's almost perform like a CC cream to me. I feel like I'm giving my skin a break while still wearing makeup. The color also match my skin tone perfectly. If you're a makeup beginner,this will be a good start if you're on a tight budget. 

Maybelline Fit Me! Matte and Poreless Foundation 235 Pure Beige Review

Hello unicorns!


I've recently purchased this foundation after reading and watching countless reviews about it.It was tough finding your shade when all you have are swatches on google which have different lighting,edits,etc.

I went with Pure Beige hoping it matches my skintone and it amazingly did! YASSSSSSSS *Jaclyn Hill voice*

Hello dreamers!


I've noticed that i've consistently use more or less the same product in my daily makeup for the past few months.Sometimes i would play around with my eye makeup for example but normally,these products are my daily staples and they work wonderfully!

L'Oreal Le Teint True Match Foundation N3 Nude Vanilla Review

Hello sprinkles of chocolate rice!



This is my first drugstore foundation ever! haha.

Christmas is around the corner and sales are everywhere!!! Yesterday i went to Watsons and i was confused whether i should buy the Za True White Liquid Foundation or the L'oreal True Match Foundation.

Some blogger claim Za is the dupe for Nars Sheer Glow Foundation but of course,the L'oreal one is one of the most beloved foundation in the beauty galaxy.In the end i purchased the True Match.

✿ Essence Cosmetics Soft Touch Mousse Foundation 04 Matte Ivory Review ✿

Hello sunshine!


This has been in my makeup stash for a few months.My local Watsons store put up a section for Essence Cosmetics and the tester was still fresh and new as ever.I tried it on the back of my hand and i am very fond of the textures and finish it gives.I think this brand is from UK and they carry a whole range of other products such as mascaras,eyeliners,eyeshadow palettes,etc.

The price is ah-may-zing for the amount of product your get.Its somewhere between 20-25 MYR (5-7 $) depending on your local stores.
