Maybelline Dream Bouncy Blush Review

I have heard rave reviews on this blush, so I decided to give it a shot.

First off, I usually buy all of my makeup at Walmart (unless otherwise specified) mainly because they tend to be the cheapest. This product retails at Walmart for around $6.50 ($6.44 to be exact). The packaging is basic enough, however, I did find that it was a bit difficult to open the first few times, which stopped once the clasp loosened up a bit. 
Dream Bouncy comes in 10 different shades ranging from sheer pink to a bold almost coral red. I chose to review pink frosting. (That uber cheery pink color).
The color remains true on the skin, however, coverage begins sheer, but is easily built upon. Maybelline calls it a gel-to-powder formula, but the texture of the product is almost like silly putty. It seems like it would be super fun to dig it out and play with it. I love the color of this blush. It actually rivals my other favorite blush, Cheeky, from Bare Minerals. I did use primer underneath and found that it stayed on all day and gave me a soft, flirty glow.



All in all, this product was definitely worth the money, and I will absolutely be buying other colors soon!

Welcome!!!

Hi everyone and welcome to the Drugstore Beauty Adviser blog! My name is Stacie and I will be your captain navigating you through the sea that is drugstore brands. Let's be honest for a moment, everyone would love to own and have the funds to constantly purchase high-end beauty products, but, sadly, that's not always possible. So, I am here to help you to spend those precious $$ on items that are worth it and to save your money on those less-than-worthy products.


Ill be posting reviews, sales, answering questions, and every once in a while, will have a "splurge" of the month.

***A word before I begin, I will rarely, if ever, review a drugstore foundation. Why, you ask? Because my skin is very sensitive on my face, and the only thing that I have found that does not cause me to break out in a rash or pimples is Bare Minerals. I may try to compare ingredients from that to drugstore mineral foundations and powders and MAY review those in the future, but for now, I wont be doing any.

I hope you all enjoy everything that is to come!

xoxo
Stacie
