Great palette for people wanting to try out colour correcting!
I received this palette in light, but I found that the concealer shades and the bottom highlight shade were just a smidge too dark for me, so they aren't really usable for me. I don't usually tan so I don't know if I will get much use out of those shades later in the summer either. I almost feel like the top highlight shade would be a closer match for concealer for me. Love the yellow and green though. Used the yellow to brighten my under eye and used the green to hide a slight sunburn on my nose! They layered fabulously under foundation, and they did an equally fabulous job colour correcting. A little goes a long way...you don't need to spackle it on, just use thin layers and build up coverage as you need it.
Also, I can appreciate that Maybelline gave us a brush with this product-- not a sponge tip applicator, yay! Unfortunately it isn't a very good brush. I had better luck using my fingers instead.
I was excited to try colour correcting, as I have never paid much attention to that part of my makeup. I am not convinced that colour correcting will become a regular part of my makeup routine, because of the added time to my routine, but it is certainly a nice "tool" to have in my "toolbelt" for fancy occasions, and I feel like this was a great palette to use to try it out. #gotitfree #lovemaybellinenewyork

True to its name-- CREAMY and BRIGHTENING.
This concealer was very creamy! Didn't require any working with it to melt it into being creamy. The only draw back with the creaminess was that it creased under my eyes almost immediately and I had to keep tapping it during the day to smooth out the creasing.
I liked it much better using it on my nose, chin, and forehead to brighten those areas... worked great that way and I loved it used like that! Just won't be using it as an under eye concealer. #gotitfree #lovemaybellinenewyork

Bright, beautiful, and easy to use!
I loved this product! A little goes a long way or you can build it up for a more intense highlight. It was so easy and quick to use. Just tap it on the high points of your face with your fingers and it blends right out leaving a gleam that you can wear subtlety or build up for more drama.
I also loved the colour that I was sent! Good job Maybelline.
I would like to try to mix it into foundation to see if it could be used like that as well. I want to find as many uses as possible for this! #gotitfree #lovemaybellinenewyork

Fast to apply and natural looking!
I was so impressed by how fast this was to apply. It helped cut down on the time it takes for me to apply my makeup...which is a lifesaver before work. It wasn't full coverage in one application, but it did layer and build up nicely! Also, not only did the sponge make it so fast to apply but it eliminated the risk of being streaky. I liked that it looked so natural, it didn't dry flat and it still looked natural after powering it.
I set it with a powder because it felt a bit slippery. This foundation doesn't provide oil control so it might not work for you if you are really oily. I get a bit oily around my nose and on my forehead by the end of the day and the foundation definitely broke down a bit in those areas.
Two more big pluses were that it didn't oxidize on me and it photographs really nicely (really important in this digital age of Instagram!) #lovemaybellinenewyork #gotitfree

This is an awesome product! I was able to try this for free courtesy of Ben & Jerry's. I was surprised by how creamy this was. It really is comparable to actual ice cream but without the tummy troubles. And not only was it creamy, but it tastes amazing. I am loving the chunks of cookie and peanut butter. Thanks Ben & Jerry's for giving me the opportunity to enjoy ice cream again!! I will be recommending this to everyone I know that is lactose-free or low lactose consumers it tastes so good and not having to worry about dairy related tummy troubles brings a lot of value to this product for me! #gotitfree -

Who doesn't love Netflix? I know I love it! It is an amazing library of movies and t.v shows that is constantly expanding and changing. It makes watching t.v way too easy! Another perk of Netflix is the lack of commercials. Plus Netflix now makes their own shows and movies, and some of them are pretty amazing! In example... Stranger Things, Van Helsing ect. -

This is my favourite micellar water! It works great for taking off makeup, including mascara. I already have a back-up of this in my bathroom at home!

I think this is a wonderful shower gel! I love the smell and it leaves your skin feeling just right -- not greasy or dry. I love pairing this with a peach scented body lotion, so I can smell peachy all day long.

I love Cherry Coke, but I am usually a Coke Zero drinker, so when they came out with Cherry Coke Zero I knew I had to try it! I am sure glad I did because this has become my new favourite diet soda!
