Maybelline Better Skin Foundation Day 1 Test! #betterskinchallenge ~Day1~

Hey guys, so today I have been challenged by Maybelline New York to take the #betterskinchallenge for 3 full weeks and today is actually day 1. I want to say a HUGE thanks to Influenster for making this possible and also my awesome readers and subscribers!!! You guys are truly a blessing and I love you all so much.


As for Day 1 I actually just applied this to my skin about 10min ago and I didn't set it with a powder. It has a very matte finish and it dried quickly with 2 thin coats applied to my face. I would say that this is a medium to full coverage foundation. If it actually makes my skin better this could be my forever foundation!!!

This picture was taken with my I-phone 4 so I am so sorry about the quality. (I know an I-Phone 4..really) haha. That is all I am wearing, yes I have no concealer on but I am testing out just the foundation! So far so good! I am really hoping that I see improvement in my skin but we will see.

If you want to take part in the #betterskinchallenge then please go out and purchase the foundation HERE At that link provided you can also read exactly what this foundation is all about. If you don't want to buy the foundation online then you can purchase it at any local drugstore. Be sure to use the #betterskinchallenge and #emilyle96 so I can see your posts whether they are on Twitter, or Instagram!

MAC Dupes - Lips

MAC Dupes:

Lips

I'm going to be showing you guys some of my dupes that I have found in my collection. Hope this is very helpful and please comment on my videos and also SUBSCRIBE, I work extremley hard. Thanks

First:

MAC's Dazzleglass in Sugarrimmed. - 20.00

Victoria's Secret Lipgloss in Alessandra - 12.00

 Swatches on the top is Sugarrimed and below that is Alessandra.

Sugarrimmed is a light pink base with pink and blue glitters throughout it. This is very thick but I don't mind that feeling. This is part of their permanent collection and you can buy the product here.

Alessandra is a white based lip gloss with golds and reds through out it. Again very thick but I don't mind. I love putting this on the center of my lips! You can get it here.

Second:

MAC Lipstick in Marquise D' - 15.00

Maybelline Baby Lips in Peach Kiss - 3.99

 

Peach Kiss is on the top and Marquise D' is on the bottom.

Marquise D' - is a pink, nude and very creamy. Perfect everyday color. Unfortunately this was a part of the Wonder Woman Collection and is no longer available. :(

Peach Kiss - is a little more sheer but a great alternative in my opinion. You can buy it here or literally anywhere! :)  

Third:

MAC Lipstick in Viva Glam Gaga - 15.00

Maybelline Baby Lips in Pink Punch - 3.99

Lorac Couture Shine in Haute - 16.00

Haute is swatched on top in the middle is MAC and baby lips is on the bottom. 

Viva Glam Gaga - is a very light baby pink. (Unfortunately apart of the viva glam gaga collection, not available any longer.)

Pink Punch - exact match and also moisturizing! But it here.

Haute - again another perfect match and its perfect to top off pink punch as well. Not really saving you money but it is an exact match. Get it here.

(Sorry about the picture, the best I could do)

Fourth:

MAC Lipstick in Candy Yum Yum - 15.00

Victoria's Secret Lipstick in Muse (Matte Finish) - 14.00

Covergirl Lipstick in Siren - 5.99

Flirt! Lipgloss in Mighty Aphrodite - 9.50

 Left to Right: Mighty Aphrodite, Candy Yum Yum, Muse & Siren.

Candy Yum Yum - YAY apart of the permanent collection now thank goodness! This is a bright neon pink with a matte finish. LOVE IT! Get yours right here. 

Muse - This really isn't going to save you money but if your wanting to try out a different brand or something this is a pretty close match its just more of a deeper hot pink. Get yours here.

Siren - If you don't think you can pull off the matte finish of either of these than this satin finish in a hot pink color is a great alternative for you! Buy it here.

Mighty Aphrodite - This is an amazing dupe, almost an exact match but its a gloss! So its perfect to top off candy yum yum. :)  Get it here.

Fifth:

MAC Lipstick in Viva Glam Nicki - 15.00

Flirt! Lipstick in Enchant - 13.50

Enchant is swatched on top and Viva Glam Nicki is on the bottom. 

Viva Glam Nicki - is a bright pink yellow or as I like to call it a bright pink coral color and great for spring time! Now this is considered limited edition but it will be going away soon so grab yours here.

Enchant - is a little more sheer but it is a coral pink color and is very buildable. :) If you don't think you can pull off the viva glam nicki give this a try instead. Buy it here.

Sixth:

MAC Lipglass in Emancipation - 15.00

Barry M Lip Paint in #132 - BP 4.49; USD 6.99

Unfortuantely the picture of my swatches got deleted. But I promise they are very similar. :) Heck they are identical except for the fact one is a lipstick and the other is a gloss.

Emancipation - is a peachy, pink nude and was apart of the wonder woman collection, therefore it is no longer available for purchase. :( bummer.

#132 - this is a pinky, peach golden shimmer nude. Very creamy and hydrating for the lips too! Its a beautiful everyday color and you can get yours here.

Seventh:

MAC Lipstick in Viva Glam Nicki 2 - 15.00

Barry M Lip Paint in #129 - BP 4.49; USD 6.99

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Darling - 8.99

 Left to Right: Barry M and Revlon.

Viva Glam Nicki 2 - described as a vivid pastel lavender pink. Now the Barry M is an exact match and I didn't purchase this one. But you can get yours here for a limited time. This color is great for spring and very pretty and maybe a little hard to pull off for some.

#129 - is the exact match and even just as creamy and more affordable! Get it here.

Darling - is just more of a deeper purple, and has more of a plum shade to it but I love it too. Much easier to pull off as well. :) Buy it here.
