Reviews: 5 New Drugstore Foundations You Need To Try

Hey you! I hope you had a great weekend, the last one for July! This year has been flying by--and there have been plenty of new drugstore makeup releases to try. Among this year's offerings are several new foundations. After thoroughly testing these foundations released around January-June, I'm ready to share my thoughts and learned that what's old is new again. Check out my reviews of these 5 New Drugstore Foundations.

Prices and availability vary depending on the store.

Maybelline Fit Me Dewy+Smooth

• $7.99
• 16 shades
• SPF 18
• BEST FOR:
• normal
• dry skin 
• COVERAGE AND FINISH:
• light-slightly medium
• dewy
• OVERALL:
• Gives that dewy, natural look that dry-combo will love
• However, this is simply a "new look" for this foundation, and I totally fell for the repackaging. I told y'all I'm a sucker for anything with "new" on it! There is a matte+poreless version I didn't try, so if you have, please let me know your thoughts in the comments.

Rimmel Lasting Finish 25 Hr With Comfort Serum

• $7.99
• 10 shades
• recently used in my Sweat-Proof Makeup Tutorial
• SPF 20
• BEST FOR:
• normal 
• oily
• combo skin
• COVERAGE AND FINISH:
• light-medium
• matte
• OVERALL:
• This is another case of repackaging--you might remember it came in a tube with black cap--but it's now in a glass bottle with the added comfort serum.
• I liked this foundation and found it to last. It wasn't too drying for my dry skin and has been used often this summer. I would repurchase.

Maybelline SuperStay Better Skin

• $11.99
• SPF 15
• 12 shades
• BEST FOR:
• combo
• oily
• COVERAGE AND FINISH:
• medium
• matte
• OVERALL:
• I love that this has a pump! 
• I didn't detect my skin looking any better or worse.
• If you have large pores and/or fine lines, skip or use with primer.

L'Oreal Infallible Pro-Matte

• $12.99
• 12 shades
• BEST FOR:
• combo
• oily skin
• COVERAGE:
• demi-matte finish that is medium to full coverage
• OVERALL:
• I have dry skin but love using this in blog pics and videos. It really is matte and lasts all day. 
• This is my fave of the 5 I tested and would repurchase. 

CoverGirl Outlast Stay Luminous

• $11.30
• 7 shades
• BEST FOR:
• dry
• normal
• oily can use but this stays tacky all day
• COVERAGE:
• light to slightly medium
• Dewy finish
• OVERALL:
• This also has a pump and I love that!
• While this is advertised as oil-free, I found that it worked well on my dry skin.
• The "luminous" aspect is that it stayed tacky all day, so it was very moisturizing and looked great on skin. This is not a sparkly or glittery foundation, so the glow comes from the foundation consistency.

Have you tried any of these foundations?

Extra Elle:

• I also finished a few audiobooks recently, including How to Make Friends and Influence People (really long, with old-school advice), Martin Short's autobio (very sweet and funny), and Holly Madison's autobio (she seemed so miserable that is was almost unbelievable).
