Dream Wonder Fluid-Touch Foundation Review


Hello, my little Buds! Today I will be reviewing a foundation from Maybelline, called "Dream Wonder Fluid-Touch Foundation." My shade is "Ivory."






I keep up with  sales going on at my local drugstores, so whenever there is a chance that I can get a good deal, I jump on it. I'm a college girl and I need to save money but also fuel my obsession. So when I saw on coupons.com a deal for $4 dollars off the foundation, I got really excited. My RiteAid store was having a 40% off sale on all Maybelline products. 

So what was originally a $10 dollar foundation I turned out to buy for $2.59. 

Awesome. Deal. I will not argue with that.

Now, on to the review. The foundation itself is very runny, something that I expected because of the "Fluid-Touch" name. On the handle it has a sort of weird tear-shaped dropper to drip the foundation onto your finger. That, I thought, was kind of unhygienic. 








When I first applied it in dots all over my face, I thought, "Oh, okay, it looks pretty decent." But then I started to blend it into my skin.

It completely disappeared. 

I have some light freckles on my cheeks and nose, and it is something that I usually don't want to see through my foundation. This stuff went on and blended in but it did nothing to cover any sort of freckle or blemish on my face. 

It was like I put on a shear lotion on and nothing more. 

I am so upset with this purchase.It was not worth spending that $2.59 at all. When I buy a foundation, I want at least medium to full coverage. When I buy a BB cream, I expect it to be light, but still at least be able to even out the redness of my complexion. 

My BB cream had better coverage than this did. 


Now, I did wear this to work on a good skin day to just try to see how long it would last, even though I had this horrible ominous feeling.

Two hours into my shift, I went to the restroom to check and touch up my look. 

It was gone.

Like I expected.


To show what I mean, I decided to swatch it for you on my hand.




Underneath that little blob, I have a scar I got from work and a little swatch of some Jordana green eyeliner that refused to come off.
 So there it is un-blended.

So here is what happened when I blended it out on my hand.




It did nothing to cover it up. The scar is under the green spot, and is clearly visible. 

You Buds might be like, "Oh, but Kat, you just need to give it a chance. Maybe it is supposed to do that!"

Nope. I pulled this off Maybelline's website.


"Medium to full coverage" No. It has the coverage of a clear lotion.


Final Verdict: Don't waste your money on this, Buds. It isn't worth the original $10 dollars or the $2.59 I got it for. There are so many other foundations that give you coverage and a great finish, all for that same 10-dollar price range. 


Thank you for reading my rant! A review for my favorite foundations will be coming soon, and my next review is going to be on a really important item; primers.

Have a good one!
