Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse Foundation Review

Hello girls!

Today I was working on cleaning my new appartment, my hubby & my father-in-law have started painting the walls & me & my mother-in-law have done some major cleaning!

Tomorrow we continue with the cleaning/painting, and hopefully by the end of this week, the appartment will be ready for us to move in!

I'll keep you posted on how everything goes, but I'm super excited & just so happy with our new place!!!

I'm just hoping I won't have to spend too much time waiting on the internet connection once I move in...

Anyway, back on topic!

Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse Foundation...

...is a foundation that I find myself reaching for on a daily basis!

I used to use this foundation religiously, years ago, when I was living in London.

I have repurchased it a few months ago, when I was in Croatia, because I remembered how much I liked it, plus, it was on a special offer, so I ended up paying less than 50kn (kuna-croatian currency), when normally it costs more than 70kn.

This product is ideal for oily to combination, blemish prone skin.

It covers pretty well, ensures the matte finish throughout the day, so you don't have to worry about constantly touching up your make up!

It feels really soft on your skin and makes it "velvety" to the touch.

Because of its mousse and light-weight consistency, I believe it's letting my skin breathe, and I can wear it on a daily basis, without fear that it'll clogg my pores and cause me to breakout.

I have come to the conclusion that, amongst the drugstore brands of foundations, Maybelline is one of my favourite brands!

When talking about Maybelline foundations, I always go for a shade 030 Sand, because I find it the most flattering one for my (pale) skin tone!

Have you ever tried the Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse foundation?

If so, did you like it?

How do you feel about the Maybelline foundations?

I hope you liked my review!

I'm off to bed now, as I'm feeling quite exhausted from all the cleaning today ... 

I will probably relax by watching an episode or two of my favourite tv-show of the moment, "True Blood"!

Don't you just LOVE Jace Everett's song "Bad Things"?

With this song, I'm wishing you all a very lovely evening & a good night!

Fashion Haul: Benetton, H&M, Zara, Pull & Bear, Bershka!

Hi girls!

I have a new fashion haul for you!

February is coming to an end, and that means the end of the winter sales is near!

These here are some of the goodies that I grabbed as a "last minute" occasion, most of them were discounted at more than

 80% OFF, so I ended up paying 1-3€ for most of them!

We really have a great sales in Italy!

Do you, in your country, also have such an amazing sales?

Check out my new haul video here:

I went to the nearby United Colors of Benetton & Sisley outlet and this is where I found this gorgeous cape!

I was looking for it, ever since the past September, but I never found it in the Benetton stores.

I saw it in Carly's fashion haul & I instantly knew I had to have it in my wardrobe!

When I finally found it at the outlet, and for 70% OFF the retail price, I was sooo surprised and excited!!!

I'll be wearing this cape now, at the end of winter and in the first days of spring, with my skinny jeans and brown riding boots, or wedges!

 This was all that I got at Benetton's outlet and then I went to check out my H&M store...

I found this faux fur cardigan that I'll be wearing on top of my plaid/checker shirts..and jeans

Another cute cardigan.
This one isn't too warm, so it's going to be perfect for the early days of spring!

Homewear & PJ bottoms!
Boring stuff, but only 1€ each; now I'm going to look cute when chilling out at my new home! ;)
(after having done all the cleaning, and the moving, ahem...lol!)

I love the green colour of this casual/comfy sweatshirt/hoodie!

My best-buy from H&M this week has certainly been this black bag from the men's dept.!

 I was on a lookout for a nice Chanel style purse for a while...I found this red purse at Bershka for only 5.99€!

A couple of purchases at Zara...

Sparkly, golden ballet flats!
These are comfy and look so pretty on!

Peter Pan collar trend is huge for the next season!

I got this black, Peter Pan Collar (leopard print) dress at Zara TRF

Moving onto Pull&Bear fashion store...

(one of my favourite ones!)

I got this wool, knitted dress!
It's soo my style & I enjoy wearing it already! :)

A quick hair/hairstyle update:

It's been two months since I visited my hairdresser in Croatia!

With the buying of our first place and the move and all...I haven't had a chance to travel to my country to visit my family & to pop in for a quick visit at my hairdresser's salon!

I do have a bit of a visible roots, but so far I'm fine with that...

(with all that "ombre" hair going on & all...)

When I really don't know how to style my hair, I just quickly do a tiny side braid, and it instantly looks cuter/better!

Hopefully this serves you as an inspiration!

Have a lovely Sunday!
