Today is Rizal Day and just a lovely suggestion for reflection (just so apt because the year's about to end already): reflect on who are the heroes of your life and say a simple "Thank you" or "I love you" to them. Also, do one hero act for the day like cook for your folks, treat your siblings to dinner, clean the car, or just even pray for someone. What feel- good activities, right? :)
For our last Fan Mail Friday for the year (OMG!!!), Amira's asking for my suggested drugstore foundations; these are randomly selected and don't concentrate on one skin type alone:
Hi,
Can you make a review on any affordable drugstore foundation that you personally, highly recommend?
Amira

I'm currently loving Loreal True Match powder foundation because it doesn't cake on me, and provides good oil control. What I want to try next is their Infallible liquid foundation or the Max Factor Face Finity. :D Happy New Year, Ms. Martha!
ReplyDeleteThanks for this post Ms. Martha. Ang dameng chooses ng L'Oreal ah. I like to try Sleek Base Duo Fit and L'Oreal Infallible line if ever maubos ung ginagamit ko. Happy New Year Ms. Martha and God Bless mwuah
ReplyDeleteSad that Maybelline White Superfresh doesn't work for me, or maybe because my face is too oily for it to handle.
ReplyDeleteOh my. Thank you thank you for the recommendations!!! I'm out of foundation and after seeing this post, I convinced myself na that I will buy Maybelline dream velvet foundation! Swak na swak sa budget and heard a lot of reviews about it too! Yey. Thanks, Ms. M! Great affordable concealer naman next please :)
ReplyDeleteHooray for this post! I am running out of foundation and have been debating using the GCs I got for Christmas to get another Loreal True Match Liquid Foundation or Maybelline's Dream Velvet one. Since they're on sale until tomorrow, might as well hoard 'em both plus the Infallible seeing they're high up on your list! Lol! Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteBeen using L'oreal Infallible set and it is the BOMB! Can literally handle my oily skin and never cakes on me. So glad it is included in your list. ☺
ReplyDeleteSo happy for this blog post ms. Martha , super Dami paLang affordable and effective makeup :)
ReplyDeleteWow it's a lot. I never thought that these brands are under 1000. All branded. I love it so much.
ReplyDeleteWow! Nasagot yung tanong ni Miss Amira. So Max Factor is for me I guess. Salamat Miss Martha. 😘
ReplyDeleteBut I think I also wanna try the one from Pink Sugar. 😁
ReplyDeleteI've tried Pink Sugar's BB cream and it does work on my combination/ oily skin. Right now I'm using Maybelline Dream Velvet and will look into purchasing Loreal true Match Genius. Thanks for these tips Miss M!
ReplyDeleteI'm currently using Pink Sugar's and Maybelline's Dream Velvet Matte is the next one that I'd like to purchase since I saw your review about it. I'm amazed of it's good coverage and it's price point.
ReplyDeleteI want to try the Maybelline Dream Velvet or the Loreal Infallible 16HR..coz I do have oily skin. I don't want to buy one kasi I don't wear makeup everyday..I'm a stay at home mom. Though I have one Maybelline Dream Satin..it's okay. And the Loreal Mat Magique which is my go-to powder..as always. Bought it while it was on sale..tas may back up pa na refill..hehe! Anyways, Thanks Ms. Martha..I'm going to save for either foundation that I like.
ReplyDeleteHayst so many options to choose from. I'm not really a foundie kind of person. I just use BB cream from Tonymoly. But would like to consider between L'Oreal Infallible and Truematch. Thank you for the tips Ms. M! Happy New Year! =)
ReplyDeleteWow, L'Oreal Infallible and Sleek. Awesome blog post. Thanks for the suggestion Ms Martha
ReplyDeleteAng daming option Pero parang mas type ko yung L'Oréal
