Revlon Colorstay Foundation Review



It's been a couple of weeks since I bought my Revlon Colorstay and I've used it several times already. I'm definitely impressed with this product in terms of coverage and staying power. It also has great oil-control. I have this in Buff and it matches my skintone perfectly. I forgot the exact price but it's around 800Php.

The downside is, it dries out really fast when you dab it on your face so it's kinda difficult to blend. What I do is I use a damp sponge instead of just my fingers and work on one area of my face at a time.

Also, true to its name, it really stays on. It takes a lot of effort to remove this from your face. You would really need a good makeup remover for this. What I'm currently using is Nivea Cleansing Milk Makeup Remover but I still had to wash my face with soap twice after that. Some recommended using cleansing oil so I might give that a try soon. Anyway, I don't use this everyday because I feel like it will clog my pores if I do that so I only use this once or twice a week.

Pros:

Great Coverage
Great Oil-control
It stays on unless you remove it.
Affordable
A little goes a long way.
Available locally

Cons:
A bit difficult to blend
Difficult to remove as well

Will I buy this again? Definitely! Although this one bottle might last me a year.

Went to SM Southmall yesterday for grocery shopping and as usual, I couldn't help but check out their make up section. I was thinking of getting Maybelline's Mousse blush but they don't have any testers available so I got 4u2's duo eyeshadow instead. The color is really nice and very pigmented.

I've also been meaning to try Revlon's Colorstay liquid eyeliner due to a lot of good reviews on the product. The SA was really good at sales talk and she also managed to sell me the Colorstay Liquid Foundation. I got it in Buff. The SA tried it on me before I decided to get it. It's really nice. It gives great coverage and it really mattifies my face. I'll write a review about it in a week.



The Colorstay liquid eyeliner on the other hand was a bit disappointing for me. I was actually looking for a good waterproof eyeliner and I was hoping this one would work for me but as it turns out, it faded after just a few hours of having it on. I use an eye lubricant by the way, so i really need a great waterproof eyeliner. Fashion 21 works way better for me than Revlon. It's just that Fashion 21 turns shimmery after an hour or so and I really want a very black eyeliner.

Which leads me to 'resurrecting' my Fanny Serrano gel liner. Now this one really stays put but it dries out really fast. I have just been using it for 10 days or so when it dried out and turned flaky. So what I did was pot 2 drops of VCO on it and voila, it's creamy again.


I know it looks like sh*t but hey, as long as it works again!
