Notes:
This is my fourth time trying the Maybelline Dream Velvet Soft Matte Foundation and I think I am not a fan. It applies a bit patchy on my skin. The texture itself feels great, but looks dry going on even though it is suppose to be a somewhat hydrating foundation. Later on, due to the fact that it's a hydrating foundation, it breaks down and holds my oils at a 2 out of 10...pretty poorly. I am going to continue to try it mixed with different foundations and primer underneath to try to find the happy medium that will work for me. 

I can roll with Benefit's Roller Lash Mascara. I got mine in a sample size, so the whole time as I was applying this mascara, I kept saying to it, "You know, for such a little guy, you sure do pack a punch!"
