Dream Cluster Reviews: Maybelline Dream Liquid Mousse Foundation

Hello Everyone !!!
After test driving a Range of Maybelline New launches. Next product on trial from Maybelline Dream Range was Dream Liquid Mousse Foundation. The Maybelline Dream Range Mousse Foundation was good. I liked the medium to heavy coverage it had to offer. A few dabs and it was great GO-To foundation when you don't want to look over - made up.

So far I have Tried and Tested -

Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse Foundation - REVIEW HERE
Maybelline Dream Matte Powder - REVIEW HERE

So after trying out almost the entire range - I was looking forward to try the Winner of the lot - Maybelline Dream Liquid Mousse Foundation - Beauty bloggers have been going GAGA over this one - Read on to know what I think --- 
 

Product: Dream Liquid Mousse Foundation.
Price and Quantity:  575INR for 30ml.
Shades: Available in 6 shades.

What it claims:

• The Dream Liquid Mousse Foundation is the first liquid foundation to provide a unique airbrush finish for a flawless complexion and Poreless skin. 
• It has a revolutionary formula that combines a liquid with the air-soft feel of a mousse. 
• The product delivers on three common problems many women encounter: texture correction, tone harmonizing, and luminosity.
• The new Dream texture provides a smoother, more even and luminous complexion. Dream Liquid Mousse brings skin the great coverage of a liquid foundation with the most comfortable lightweight feel of a mousse.

First Look at the Packaging:
It comes in a standard glass bottle with a pump dispenser. I really like the fact that this product is travel friendly - The pump can be locked and unlocked thus making it easier to carry around. I have always loved pump dispenser - It always prevents wasting the product by controlling the amount of product which is dispensed. 

My Experience with the Product:

The texture of this foundation is lovely. Just dot the foundation all over your face and blend away. It blends in like a dream !! 

Although it works fine with a makeup sponge or fingers, I prefer swirling my stipling brush to give it a proper airbrush look.The foundation is successful in giving an airbrushed look over your pore area. Visible pores completely vanish away.

The result is nice matte looking face which looks amazing from far off. 

The shade " Medium" is perfect for my skin tone. The foundation give a medium to heavy coverage depending on how much you use it. 

The first time I used it, I was pretty happy with the results I achieved -  Fresh and matte look. 

The problem starts to set in after 3- 4 hours after which the foundation starts becoming shiny and oily. I have a combination skin tone which just triggers this process at a MUCH faster rate !!

You can however tackle the problem by dabbing compact all over your face - But Helloo!! Who has the time to check foundation every now n then ? I certainly DON'T !! 

Another thing to look out for - Apply the product in Excess and BOOM ! you will end up looking like a wax Statue ! 

Love it or Chuck it ? 
I am in a Love- Hate Relationship with this one. This Foundation is PERFECT FOR ALL YOU BLESSED ONES - the Dry Skinned ones !!!

Dream Cluster Reviews: Maybelline Dream Matte Powder.

A dash of moisturizer followed by a quick blend of compact all over - Yups ! That's all I follow !! My perfect everyday makeup routine...

A quick addition of kajal and mascara is followed if at all I am to head out with friends. I am very lazy most of the times and tend to skip a lot of steps when I apply makeup... But a good dab of compact is something I never missed.

My combination skin demands compact all day 24*7 and Boy ! Do I have a stash of compacts lying around.... !!! The latest addition to the pile of compacts is Maybelline Dream Matte Powder.

There was a lot of hype about this powder a while ago on Youtube, all the beauty gurus I had subscribed too went Gaga over it. Sadly, It was not launched in India that time.

Finally, Maybelline  has launched its Dream Range Products here in India. They come with the complete range of products & shades to suit Indian skin tones, so that you can now find your perfect Dream finish, be it matte, airbrushed, poreless or gorgeously luminous!

Product: Maybelline Dream Matte Pressed Powder. 

Price and Quantity: 475 INR for 9 gms.

Shade: Light 

What it claims:

• The Dream Matte Pressed Powder comes with special ultra-fine particles formula, which mattifies and leaves an air-soft, ultra-silky texture.
• The pressed powder is encased in a stylish compact and comes with a suede touch puff, which smoothes onto the skin evenly for the most beautiful matte perfection!
• Available in 4 shades. 

First Look at the Packaging: 

I am quite fascinated with the packaging. It is extremely travel - friendly - I mean the powder case comes in a two- tiered compartment - the top most encloses the compact while the bottom case can be swirled to the right to reveal the powder puff (which  By the Way - is extremely awesome !!) and in-built mirror. 

 
My Experience with the Product :

I absolutely Love this powder !!  When I first received it  - I checked out the shade and it was "Light". I thought this shade will never match my skintone. 

The shade worked out fine for me. The texture of the powder is silky. A swipe of the brush once - twice is enough to cover your entire face. 

The powder goes on translucent, more in lines of a setting powder - Nice, light and minimum coverage. It gives a nice radiant look. 

This compact is perfect for setting your foundation or just when you need a radiant soft look. It is not at all cakey and it is successful in keeping my T- zone oil free for couple of hours.

The quantity of the powder is enough to lasts you for months.

The powder puff provided with the product is absolutely perfect ! The application goes on smooth and nice. Also the puff is nice and thick and can be washed and reused.  

Love it or Chuck it ?
I Love it !! I will probably check out other shade next time.

Dream Cluster Review : Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse Foundation Review

If you belong to our group of Oily Skinned ones - You must be well aware with our obsession of achieving that "PERFECT AIRBRUSHED MATTE LOOK". I am blessed with that same obsession, Hence I was super excited to try out this Matte Mousse Foundation when I received it... 

The Dream franchise, voted the #1 foundation umbrella brand in the world comprises of a collection of products with revolutionary hybrid formulae, including Dream Liquid Mousse Foundation, Dream Matte Mousse Foundation, Dream Matte Pressed Powder, Dream Touch Blush and now the latest and revolutionary Dream Lumi Touch Conealer.

Amongst all the products from Dream Range - The Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse Foundation was the first one to be launched in India few years ago. I had till date not tried this product because -  I am always working in the lab where its Hot and Humid and I certainly don't wish to end up looking like a Caked up Doll at the end of the day !!! 

I never sport a foundation on a daily basis - Foundations are always reserved for special occasions (I SHOULD SAY OCCASION !!) - WEDDING !!!! 

Now since I have tons of products lying around - Waiting to be tested - I have moved up a notch and have started wearing foundations on other occasions as well.. 

So, lets see how this product fared on my skin.... 

What is Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse Foundation's Mission:

• Revolutionary whipped formula provides an air-soft, perfect matte finish coverage with a weightless feel.
• The Mattifying foundation leaves skin feeling soft and smooth, while providing complete coverage. Its ultra blendable formula is easy to apply and very comfortable to wear.
• Now in 5 shades.

Ingredients:
G681322 ingredients, cyclopentasiloxane, dimethicone, squalene, dimethicone crosspolymer, dimethicone/vinyl dimethicone crosspolymer, hydrogenated jojoba oil, polymethylsilsesquioxane, polymethyl methacrylate, silica dimethyl silylate, phenoxyethanol, phenyl trimethicone, disodium stearoyl glutamate, methylparaben, vinyl dimethicone/methicone silsesquioxane crosspolymer, aluminium hydroxide, silica, BHT, ethylparaben, butylparaben, isobutylparaben, propylparaben. {+/- may contain/peut contenir: CI 77891/titanium dioxide, CI 77492, CI 77499, CI 77491/iron oxides, CI 77163/bismuth oxychloride, MICA}.

Price and Quantity:  575 INR for 18 g.

Why the RAVE about Mousse Foundations?
 Mousse Foundations are very specially formulated to better suit the skin. These foundations are easier in terms of application because they blend ever so easily into your skin. They have extra air whipped in them making them lighter and smoother - That is also the reason why they cost more.   

 


First Look at the Packaging:  
This product comes in a glass jar tub like packaging with a screw cap top. Not good for sanitary reasons - I never dip my fingers into this product - Its strictly meant to be gently dabbed with a foundation or a blush brush.

My Experience with the Product: 

I read a lot of negative reviews on this product before I tested it. That's the reason why I never summed up the courage to buy this foundation before. But after using it myself, I stood corrected.

Let me sum up the negatives of the product - The jar packaging makes the product very unhygienic if we dip our fingers every time we use it. Also if you expect a total matte free skin after sporting this product on your face - Stay away !!

The product is strictly meant to be used by a kabuki brush or a blush brush or a duo-fiber foundation brush. I have so far used a kabuki brush to apply this product and it works awesome !!

Its very easy to go overboard with this foundation - If you apply with your fingers - You tend to end up using a whole lot of the product which in turn will make you look like a wax statue !! The moment you apply the product - you will a perfect matte look but after sometime disaster !!

I would recommend just dip you kabuki ever so lightly once or twice ( max thrice !) and dab it all over your face. This way you get a natural perfect matte airbrushed look.

This foundation feels very light on your skin if you have succeeded in applying the right amounts. It doesn't offer heavy coverage and gives a soft natural look to your face.

Beware !! -- If your skin is not properly cleansed or if you have gone overboard with the product - This product will instantly start looking grainy on your skin.

It was successful in keeping my skin oil free for 3 hours which is pretty good. Also I like the consistency of this foundation which is neither a cream or a liquid. It is a light airy mousse which blends easily into your skin.

Once more recommendation - I would recommend you apply this foundation after using a base perfector over your skin. This way the foundation gives you a flawless look. Otherwise, The foundation tend to accentuate your fine lines and pores.

All in all, This foundation is my GO-TO foundation - when you hop out for a quick bite with friends or  a sudden date - where you don't wish to look too made up !!

Below are pictures of me with and without the Mousse foundation. Please excuse my DARK CIRCLES !!

 Love it or Chuck it ?

Dream Cluster Reviews: Dream Lumi Touch Concealer

Hello Beauties,

I had received a Dream Range Hamper from Maybelline and its been quite exciting to try out the Dream Range products. Along with Dream Liquid Mousse Foundation, Dream Matte Mousse Foundation, Dream Matte Pressed Powder, Dream Touch Blush and the hamper contained the latest and revolutionary Dream Lumi Touch Concealer.

A good concealer is a must for every girl's vanity. It not only offers a perfect cover up for those nasty acne marks and dark circles but also it helps to create that perfect canvas on your face so that you can proceed to re-create your favorite look. 

So Here is my experience with the lumi concealer - 

Product: Maybelline Dream Lumi Touch Concealer

Price and Quantity: 475 INR for 1.5ml

What it claims:

• The NEW Dream Lumi Touch is the first gel-based concealer from Maybelline New York. It illuminates while it conceals, delivering a natural result.
• Eyes are instantly brighter, awakened, and more alive! 
• The new Dream Lumi Touch diffuses light as it conceals because of the diffusing power of concealing pigments blended with illuminating gel base. 
• It covers any imperfections or dark circles letting you experience touch-and-go illumination like never before. 
• The Lumi Touch Concealer comes in a revolutionary pen format for easy application on the go!   

Directions:

 Ingredients:

Available in 6 shades.

• Ivory
• Radiant
• Nude
• Buff
• Beige
• Honey

Let's look at the Packaging :

This concealer comes in a pen format - the same one where you twist the bottom to dispense the product from the tip of the brush. The packaging is similar to Bourjois concealer pen and Lakme Absolute Lip Last. The pen is nice and sturdy, travel friendly and the brush is formatted for an easy application. 

My Experience with the Product: 

I have received the "Ivory" shade which is the lightest from the lot. I guess Nude or Buff shade would have been best match for my skintone.
Anyhow, The Ivory shade is best for highlighting the dark areas of my face and for concealing light imperfections. 
It took me exactly 23 clicks the first time to finally see a hint of the product ooze out of the brush .. which was enough to dab and highlight my whole face. 
The texture of the concealer is the best so far .. it is perfect ..not too runny or creamy. It is easily blended into the skin to give that fresh,glow look.
Attention - People with light dark circles - This is a perfect product to conceal your dark circles and illuminate your eyes. 
This product stays on for hours.. I had applied it in the morning and it stayed put till the evening easily ..For reference - I was dashing in and out of an AC environment thru- out the whole time. 
All in all it is a great concealer for those who those who prefer light and not heavy creamy concealers on their face. 
I would love to check out shades which would match my skin tone to cover my dark circles. Except I am still hunting for these products nearby my place. I can't seem to find them anywhere yet.  

Love it or Chuck it? 
Love it ! I love this product for its texture and economical price.
