Maybelline Fit Me Review

The whole line of Maybelline's Fit Me products

So a while back my acne got very bad and I felt the need to go out and get some sort of "cover up" for the first time. I knew that I wanted a product that made my skin look natural and something that could give the the illusion of  me having "perfect" skin.
I came across the Maybelline Fit Me foundation in a magazine and decided to check out reviews on YouTube. Most of the videos I viewed were positive and on top of that, the foundation was less than $10 so I went for it! Luckily, they had my skin color in stock so I bought the concealer and the foundation.
My first impression of the product- I loved how lightweight it was. It didn't feel heavy and it went on very smooth! I still feel that way and I don't really have any major complaints about it.
The only downside I saw with this product is the fact that the foundation doesn't have a pump. I would prefer that it did have one because I feel like it could have lasted a lot longer than it has. I bought the foundation in February and now it's June and its like gone. Is that normal?
I tried doing what the instructions told me to in regards to me applying the foundation with my hands- it didnt work out. I ended up using my "Total Face" brush by E.L.F. to apply it and it helped me get the natural look that the advertisements promised.
Other than those things, I love this product! It gives me a flawless, natural look. My friends couldn't even tell that I had it on! This product gets an A from me! It totally met my expectations and I definitely recommend it to first time foundation and concealer buyers!



 To sum it up:
Pros: Lightweight, Smooth,Gives a flawless "perfect skin" look (with the right application method)
Cons: No pump
Overall Rate: A

Split Leg Bottoms




Made by the clothing brand Tripp NYC, split leg bottoms are bottoms that have a solid color and a contrasting color or funky print on opposite legs or sides. They're perfect for those days where you want to step outside of your fashion comfort zone and try something new!

Lucy Hale as "Aria" in Pretty Little Liars 



The first time I saw a pair of split leg pants was on an episode of Pretty Little Liars where the character Aria wore a leopard and black pair! A while back I watched a video featured on the show's official website featuring the fashion stylist. She spoke about how she adds funky things to Aria's clothes to better fit her character, so when I saw the bottoms on Aria, I just thought they were leggings that she cut up and sewed together, but no! I found out through a fansite for the show that they were actually jeans designed to be that way! I was fascinated to say the least because I'd never seen anything like it! I began to really take interest in split leg bottoms when I saw the exact pair pictured below modeled in an issue of Seventeen magazine. After seeing them, I fell in love with the artistic nature of split leg bottoms! They aren't something that you would see an average person wearing and I adore that about them! Wearing them is a chance to stand out and be original!
