I've been on a makeup kick for weeks, I spend my free time perfecting looks and recreating looks that I see on you tube... in the process I'm using a great deal of my somewhat expensive MAC foundation, and I had to put a stop that… seriously I’m sitting here putting on a fresh face at 10pm, and washing it off at 11:00pm, only to start to the process all over again. Changes had to me made!
Sidebar: I look at some these you tube videos and blogs and I wonder how in the hell are some of these ladies making this happen?!?!?!? This is not a cheap habit… granted it’s nowhere near a crack habit, but it’s still pretty darn costly…
Back to the topic at hand… So I decided to find a drugstore foundation that I would use when I'm in my at home makeup zone... Maybelline FIT Me, is a great drugstore foundation, its matte, it's forgiving, and it's LIGHTWEIGHT... I like it so much that I have found myself reaching for it on the weekends! And get this, it's $8.00!?!?!?... (where dey do that at?) Someone pinch me! Never in a million years would I have considered a drugstore cosmetic... I still want some NARS, and dammit I'm gonna get it... by hook or crook I see NARS in my immediate future.
(320 is my color of choice... I'd say the only downside to a drugstore product is one must know what colors work for them, and if you're new to this whole makeup thing, purchasing a drugstore foundation will present a true challenge... but for $8.00 bucks you can afford to make a mistake or 2)
If you are on a tight budget, and just starting out I would give this a try, it’s not bad for 8.00 bucks. Not perfect, but not bad…

Teal, a thought. I love that you are trying new makeup that compares to the more expensive brands. But, I am wondering how did you choose to try this specific kind? There are SO many over the counter makeups out there......it would take months or years to try them all! My thought is maybe a thread that asks people to list the types of makeups they use, why they love them, why they hated them and then maybe have a wishlist of products that they would like to try. That way people who are reading these lists maybe have tried and/or currently use some of those prodcuts and can comment. It seems pretty obvious maybe to more experienced bloggers, but I am new to this and I know that I would get so much out of something like that! Anyways, so my question about this FIT by Maybelline. Being pretty light skinned, a tad oily and large pores, how do you think the coverage aspect would "fit" my skin?! :)
