Review: Maybelline Fit Me Pressed Powder

Maybelline Fit Me Powder £5.99 - here
I've been trying a few new pressed powders recently. I normally don't stray from MAC's Mineralize skin finish natural but I often run out of it at times where I am not near a counter or store.
I wanted to try something from Maybellines new range called 'Fit'. It includes no oils or waxes and it formulated to make your skin look natural.
Firstly, I don't use a lot of face powder. I have dry skin but I often find that I need some extra staying power on my liquid foundation. I usually dust it over the centre of my face and set any concealer I have applied.
The first thing I noticed about this powder was how light it was but still had a good coverage. The texture is soft and velvety and lasted on my skin all day.
I have the powder in the lightest shade and it matches me perfectly. I sometimes struggle to find a powder which does.
Overall, I really love this powder. It comes with a sponge applicator but I don't tend to use it. It looks pretty in the packaging though. There is a mirror in the lid which helps when you are on the go and considering the packaging if plastic it is quite sturdy.
It retails for £5.99 but Maybelline have an offer on in Boots at the moment where you buy one product and get the second half price.
It's been a while since I've purchased a product from Maybelline. Is there anything you have from them you like?

  2. The packaging of this compact is lovely, it looks so pretty with the powder puff. I have to say, I converted to more affordable powder a few years ago. I went from using Clinique at over £20, to Rimmel which is £3.99 - and there's not even a difference! I love my Rimmel powder, and I wouldn't go back to high end powder now even if I could afford to. This one sounds like a powder too, if my local Boots ever runs out of my Rimmel powder, I'll be sure to try this one as it's not too much more expensive :) x

  3. The concealer from the same range is excellent! x

  4. p.s. I used to struggle with having fair skin and getting a powder to match too - it's great when you find a powder that doesn't make you look like a satsuma a few hours in! x

    I'm dying to try this. I quite liked the foundation but it didn't blow me away yet I've heard great things about this powder.

    I've not really tried anything from Maybelline in a while, only the colour tattoos in Pink Gold, On and On Bronze and Eternal Gold. I really like MAC Mineralise Skinfinish Natural too, but as I don't really suffer from oily patches I can pretty much use most powders and have been including the MUA Pressed Powder regularly, total bargain at £1 and does the job! :)
