Today’s question is: “Foundation: Save or Splurge? Why?”
Hi Darlings, so today’s post is going to be another: Mimi & Julia Ask.
Where we are going to ask you a beauty related question and we want to read your answers so make sure to leave a comment.
If you have a question for next week you are free to ask and I’ll make sure include it in another post and to give you credit for it.
Foundation: Save or Splurge? Why?
Mimi: Splurge, mostly. I mean I love a good drugstore foundation (but not super affordable like Essence and such) but I tend to splurge most of the times.
I have complicated skin, not that expensive products are necessarily better but I feel more comfortable wearing a 40$ foundation rather than a 4$ one.
Some of my favourites are the Guerlain Lingerie De Peau Aqua Nude and the Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua.
Julia: I normally splurge because I want something high quality on my skin. I mean I don’t want something that makes my skin look weird or gives me blemishes.
Obviously I know the high price tag doesn’t always mean higher quality. I personally love the MAC Studio Face And Body.
NOW IT’S YOUR TURN: LEAVE US A COMMENT SO WE CAN START A CONVERSATION.

I prefer to save, but my daughter would be all about the splurging. She would like to try the Mac one.
That’s one is an awesome one to start with
I used to love the blending powder that mac makes. Now I have mom skin, so I use a foundation. I’ll have to try the one you have listed
Enjoy
I agree on the splurge! My most treasured foundations are mostly high-end … although I do have a few drug store foundations that I absolutely adore too … but I also find myself reaching mostly for my high-end foundations.
Also I nominated you for the Sunshine Blogger Award. I hope you don’t mind and you can find out the ins and outs right here -> https://aspooniesmakeupbag.com/2020/04/29/sunshine-blogger-award/
Thank you ?
You’re very welcome
I stick to middle of the road foundations. Too Faced and Dermablend work best for me.
As always, I use a mix! I really love some drugstore foundations – Maybelline, L’Oreal, and Milani make some really amazing formulas. But I am also a fan of many prestige foundations, too!
I love L’Oréal foundations the new Fresh one it’s amazing and I’ve gone through two of them but I’m pretty limited with what I can find at the drugstore so it’s one of the thing I like to splurge on
ahhh everyone raves about that one, but I’ve still never tried it!!!
??? you kidding? It’s so good. I’ve gone through two bottles already https://blushydarling.com/2019/01/04/loreal-infaillible-24hr-fresh-wear-foundation-review/
I feel like its one of those products that didn’t get the same hype in the States as it got across Europe. I really want to pick it up but I’ve been trying to tell myself to finish more of what I have before buying another foundation lol!
To be honest, I actually got it months before it was super hyped. I literally saw the display at the drugstore and though:”oh a new foundation, I’ll try it” I honestly thought I wouldn’t like it and I was going to give it to my mom… I guess the rest is history
The Freshwear foundation is def one of the 3 drug store foundations I’ve been eyeing – along with the NYX Bare with Me & the Milani Screen Queen! But I’m still in the process of testing out some other foundations so I need to get myself together haha
I have such a hard time justifying spending a lot of money on makeup. I need to try some higher end products though and see how much better the quality is.
Maybe you can try and get a sample, if you know it’s good you’ll feel better splurging. Or you can do it in the sales ?
I totally agree with you on the splurge! However I find myself saving a lot but then every so often splurging!
Kileen
cute & little
I do that too x
I do both, save and splurge, but for the most part I splurge on foundations. It’s so hard to find your shade at the drugstore and there’s still a lot of affordable brands that only bring out 7 or 8 shades in a range. If the shade is right, the undertone is all wrong, etc, etc.
Omg totally!
I’m totally a splurge when it comes to foundation too! I don’t use it often, but when I do I want something that works well and is beneficial for my skin!
I totally get that!
I am mostly splurge although I have maybe 2 drugstore go-tos that I like to use a lot so that I can savour my more high-end ones for days that are more occasional or special. I do really want to try the Chanel Vitalumiere actually.
It’s the best! I’ve been using it on and off since I was 16!
Oh wow! That’s a long time. I’ve been using the IT cosmetics CC Cream but I’ve recently gone back to foundation again. Today I’m wearing Clinique Even Better Foundation which is one of my faves 🙂
The It cosmetics CC is too heavy for me and I’ve never tried the Clinique one but I swear by the Chanel one
It’s so hard to tell for me! I guess I’d say splurge but I never like spending too much on makeup… Though if there should be ONE expensive product, it’d probably be foundation!
Honestly to me is eyeshadow. If I could splurge on only one product it would be that. You can legit see the difference in quality
Splurge. Especially because its something I’m wearing all over my face, wouldn’t want to break out and I also get matched so I know it will suit me better than whatever I pick at the drugstore lol
Yeah I agree!
