I was given this product by a friend who say the product was too oily for them. I LOVE it. I am new to primers and understanding what they are really doing and if they are really working, I followed the instructions the first time I used it and only used two drops, it worked pretty good and dried pretty fast. Then I applied my makeup. The next day I thought I would test the instructions and used about 4 drops, and regretted it immediately. It was too oily, wouldn't dry and my makeup was so itchy over it.
In this situation, less is better
I have seen the product at Shoppers Drugmart, and I have seen the price. I'm not sure if I would purchase it again because of the price, but so far I've used it for a month and I still haven't used a quarter of the primer.
I would recommend for anyone with combination skin, and don't apply too much or you'll have bad experience.

I absolutely LOVE this product!
I LOVE the smell and fresh feel of Pink Grapefruit. I didn't have the intention of purchasing this product, infact I use Avon make up remover cream, but I wanted something as easy as wipes for lazy days. I am IN LOVE! My skin is reacting beautifully to it, and it feels so fresh, it's definitely a great add on to my routine
I will say tho, warning it will burn your eye if you're trying to rub off mascara and eye makeup. but you'll also survive.
I recommend it, and hope I can find it next time.

I was able to try this product for free, thanks to Chick Advisor along with the Dream Velvet Foundation.
My impression of the blender was that it was super small. Once i opened it, It was way too firm for my face. I could hurt someone in the eye with the blender. I use new makeup sponges everyday, I do not have the time to be cleaning brushes or sponges, so ill keep this blender around but I dont see much use to it since I wont clean it.
It is pointy, I was able to clean a mistake over my eyeliner line and didn't smudge.
I have made a video mainly for the Velvet foundation, where it shows me using the sponge blender around my eyes and nose. I will soon post it up here.
For the price, I would not be purchasing it. Its not extravaganza, its nothing special, and a clean sponge everyday provides a better make up finishing.

First of all, THANK YOU Chick Advisor for this great opportunity to review the Maybelline Dream Velvet foundation, it was my pleasure.
Secondly, I have a video that shows how I used the foundation, twice.
First time, I wasn't impressed with the finished look, it looked very thick and caked, I thought this might be because I applied CC cream before foundation, since the texture is sort of like mousse, it made sense. I then applied it the next day, without the CC cream and it didn't look too thick, but I was not pleased with the coverage.
I use CC cream under my regular liquid foundation because I feel that it gives me a base color, where the foundation doesn't correct and the finish always looks neat. With the mousse like foundation and CC cream it was too thick, the coverage was light to medium, and within few hours my make up had faded. I use Smashbox photo ready primer oil and Gosh 2in1 primer and finishing powder, and yet the foundation didn't stay long. To add to this, the CC cream usually fills in the fine lines I have as where the mouse like foundation doesn't look smoothed it looks patchy.
I also feel like i couldn't contour much with powder because it just wouldn't stick either.
I appreciate the opportunity and I might use it as back up or touch up foundation, but not to actually use on the daily.

I had tried Nivea shower cream few months ago when I found it at a dollarama. I instantly fell inlove with the texture and feel after using it on my body. Once it finished, I purposely returned to shoppers to purchase another bottle, this time this Aloe extract and scent of star fruit was on sale and I grabbed it. It smells amazing! It does its job, very bubbly and soft on the skin. Love the smell! Will definately recommend for anyone that loves scent and soft products on your skin. I have thought about mixing some of the shower cream and brown sugar for an exfoliating portion, hope itll work out. -
