    IN LOVE!! This is a great all over foundation, and can provide either a light coverage, or can be used to heavier depending on the amazing new tool- The Dream Blender!!
    I have seen other brands have a similar egg shaped sponge, however I prefer this one, because of the handle, which creates more leverage, and ability to blend as necessary. The sponge is super soft, and can be placed with water beforehand for a more sheer coverage, or on its own for a heavier coverage.
    As for the actual Dream Velvet Foundation, it does a good job of making your skin feel very soft and smooth, great for people who use a primer beforehand, you can absolutely skip this step, as the feel the skin gets is very comparable.
    Price is $16.99 which is a bit pricey for the tube size, but the Dream Blender is a steal at $7.99.

    It's a pretty good foundation. The consistancy is really amazing, so smooth and velvety.
    The covarage is medium I would say. Blends very great and I would use it on a daily basis.
    I would probably buy it again if on sale otherwise there are a few drugstore foundations which I prefer.

    I received this foundation courtesy of ChickAdvisor. Hence why I gave 5 stars for price. As soon as I got it I had to try it on. I was given the shade natural beige which is too light for me. So if you're an NC40-42 I would go a shade darker.

    As for the foundation, I love the texture it's exactly as described a whipped gel formula. When placed on the face it feels light and airy. It blends out nicely using a flat top brush. The coverage is medium. When buffed into my face, it felt like I didn't have any foundation on my face which I love. It also made my skin feel very smooth velvet like which is what they claim.

    A con for this foundation is that it sticks to dry patches. Well at least mine because I've read some reviews where it didn't.

    This is a good foundation but it's not great. I still prefer to use my maybelline fit me.

    I got to try Maybelline New York Dream Velvet Foundation courtesy of Chickadvisor. It has a neat texture of a whipped gel and drys on the skin fast so work quickly! It gave my son a velvety air brushed look and didn't crack or flake all day. My skin didn't feel dry either. It had a nice fresh feel. I would purchase this product.

    I'm always in the market to try a new foundation. I really haven't had too much luck using drugstore foundations especially from Maybelline. There has been so many reviews about this foundation, I had to try it out. The shade range for women of color is lacking. I picked up 90 Honey Beige hoping that this would be something closest to my shade. The consistency is almost mousse like. It's on the thicker side but it's not a heavy foundation at all. The color started off a little too pink on my skin but after it dried down a little, it wasn't as pink. The foundation gave my skin a soft matte finish. It looked almost airbrushed! It didn't settle into my lines or pores either. Throughout the day, I did get oily but that didn't bother me because I have very oily skin. The foundation lasted all day without fading or rubbing off. That's pretty good for a drugstore foundation! I just wished Maybelline & other drugstore brands would expand their color shades for not just women of color but for those with fair complexions as well.

    I tested the Maybelline New York Dream Velvet Foundation in the shade Ivory. I am usually an Ivory in other shades so selected this shade. When I swatched it on my hand, it was very orange looking. It did blend out to look less orange on my face but it was still a tad darker than I would like. The shade is still wearable but if I were to purchase it in the future, I would get a shade lighter.

    This foundation is thick and mousse like in texture. It does spread evenly on the skin but you may have to work quicker as it tends to dry quicker than liquid foundations. After applying this foundation, my skin felt so soft and actually velvety. I was really impressed by this quality. The foundation also feels lightweight so much so that it doesn't feel like you're wearing foundation. I found the coverage to be about medium. I have acne scars which it blurred but didn't completely hide.

    I have combination skin right now with dry, normal and oily patches. I found that this foundation got a bit patchy in the oily areas on my face. This foundation is suppose to have a soft-matte effect but I didn't really find it mattifying. In fact, the first day I wore this foundation my sister commented on how nice my skin looked and how it looked dewy. It may not have been matte for me but it certainly kept my skin hydrated.

    Overall, I would probably buy this foundation in the future if there was a great sale on it and I could find it in a shade lighter.

    I received this product free of charge to test courtesy of Chick Advisor.
