A couple months ago I purchased this little beauty from a wonderful shop called Priceline for about $14 on sale, but at full price it is $19.95. Now, a couple weeks ago Priceline had it's biannual 40% off cosmetics sale for two days which was a stellar opportunity to snatch up this product but if you didn't, not to worry because Priceline currently have 30% off Maybelline Products! Woo!

The blush I'm talking about today, the Maybelline Master Hi-Light Blush, which I picked up in the shade 20 Pink Rose, is an absolute winner in my books!

I chose the shade 130 in True Beige, pictured above. Be aware that the larger the number does not correspond to a darker shade. Most of you would probably be knowledgeable of that, but I'm mentioning it just in case. A family member purchased 140 - Golden Beige of the foundation and it turned out to be much more orange than my shade even though the shade I purchased (130) was only "one shade" lighter.

Shade 130 - True Beige

The consistency of the foundation is neither runny nor thick. However it's easy to blend, therefore its leaning towards runny. Judging from experience it provides medium to high coverage depending on how much you apply. I found it to be noticeably thicker in consistency in comparison to Rimmel's Match Perfection Foundation which contrastingly provides little coverage of blemishes or redness. 

Having dry skin on the front my nose occasionally denotes that foundation or any type of product placed upon the faltering skin emphasises its dryness. This foundation seems to unfortunately emphasise the dryness as it has a more matte finish rather than a glossy finish considering it doesn't make your face shiny. However, I've found the regions adjacent to my nostrils can feel quite oily subsequent to application of the product despite having a matte finish, therefore I always set my foundation with a transparent powder to relieve that oily feeling, my favourite being Rimmel's Stay Matte Pressed Powder.

I'm not immersed in riches as of the present so it's improbable that a large portion of products bought will be from the high end. If I suddenly find myself submerged in a bath (or preferably 10 baths full) full of $100 notes, then that option could be arranged. Otherwise, products reviewed will be of those only affordable to the desperately scavenging female population, scrounging for 50% discounted items within the darkest corner of Priceline. (The 'Boots' of the UK but I'm not sure of the US equivalent.. Walmart maybe?) No shame if you're sitting behind your screen sweating at the relatability of my proposition. Hell, I'm the woman in that situation pushing people out the way, tugging hair, and generally having fights over the last Rimmel mascara on the shelf. (Disclaimer: I do not support violence of any kind!)
