Lancôme gloss Juicy Tubes, Agnès b. Monobulle eye shadows, Bourjois round boxes, Yves Rocher’s “bourbon vanilla” and “peach” shower gels … If you were a teenager in the 2000s, you will surely have fond memories of some of these beauty products. And maybe you thought you’d never see them in your bathroom again!
However, thanks to the marked interest of the new generations in the Y2K aesthetics, more and more of these forgotten icons are reborn from their ashes, in particular thanks to the sparkling success of TikTok. The foundation Dream Matte Mousse by Maybelline is one of them, and it seems that its formula has changed slightly since its launch in 2004 …

Dream Matte Mousse foundation by Maybelline, the orange beast of millennials
Remember: the Dream Matte Mousse was this little round glass box that contained a very compact foundation, with an “air puff” texture and smelled like plastic. While the product was fairly easy to apply, the formula tended to oxidize over time and take on an orange color.
A peculiarity that has remained in many memories (and on an incalculable number of white T-shirts…), as demonstrated by this TikTok video which today has more than sixteen million views.

– “My dear, you have to blend the foundation!
– What ?
“You have to go back up and blend your foundation into the neck.
– But I did, Mom! I faded it!
– Well, you have to go back to blur more. “
Obviously it was enough for many content creators, driven by nostalgia, to decide to put this faithful companion of their adolescence to the test again. And it seems that the formula has been improved since then, because the opinions are more than positive!
