Revlon Colorstay Whipped Creme foundation

Yes, I finally got my hands on the Revlon Colorstay Whipped Creme foundation! There are so many foundations that I wanted to try but I already have quite a lot that I haven't finished using up yet so I always ended up not buying any. Even this particular foundation I have no plans on buying just yet but when we're at Guardian, Shala suddenly told me, "Okay, you can grab one item here and I'll pay for it. Just one!" I knew right away I wanted to pick this up! Talk about having no self control. lol

I love the packaging of this! The use of glass jars gives the product a more expensive feel, like it's more expensive than it really is. However I think this packaging in particular is quite excessive because from the picture above you can clearly tell that the glass alone makes up half of the jar! The actual product you get is only 23.7ml. For comparison, the Revlon Colorstay liquid foundation holds 30ml of product, which isn't a lot either.

There are only 4 shades to choose from and I got the second lightest shade which is Medium Beige. This is by far, the thickest foundation I own! Like the Colorstay liquid foundation, this smells like paint which is unfortunate but otherwise it's works great! This also happens to be the foundation which lasts the longest on my skin, even longer than the popular Colorstay liquid foundation.

The consistency is different from anything that I have ever tried. I have read many reviews of this product by other beauty bloggers and Allison (amarixe on youtube) described it as more of a 'melted milkshake' consistency, which I think is pretty interesting. For me, it's like a paste. A liquid-y paste if you'd like. Or paint, like the ones on your wall before it dries up. I guess what we are all trying to say is that this Creme foundation is very thick in consistency!

Before and after

I like to use the Sigma F84 Angled Kabuki to blend the product onto my skin. I find that it is by far the easiest and quickest way to apply the product evenly. As usual, I dot the Creme foundation all over my face before I do any blending and buffing!

Before and after

I have yellow undertones in my skin and the shade that I chose, Medium Beige has more of a pink undertone which I really like because it completely neutralizes and brightens up my skin! This Creme makeup is without a doubt a full coverage foundation and is perfect for when you want to look like you have flawless skin! It sets to a matte finish and I love it! 

The longest time I have used this is for about 8-hours straight and even then, it still looked pretty good on my skin! No budging or weird patches on my skin whatsoever. It's now my go-to foundation for when I know I'll have a long day ahead of me and I want something that will last on my skin the whole time I am out without worrying about touching up or anything. 

P.S.: It can be a pain to remove! I need to wash my face with a makeup removing lotion 2-3 times to get it completely off my skin!

 The Revlon Colorstay Whipped Creme foundation retails for B$29.90 at Guardian. Definitely go check this out if you're into fuller coverage foundation or if you prefer a foundation with long-lasting power.

Revlon Grow Luscious lashliner in Espresso

I recently saw that Revlon has released new eyeliners from the Grow Luscious range! Swatched them in the store and I kinda fell in love with it because they are darn creamy and super pigmented! Even the black is really black. Basically the black (onyx) and brown (espresso) eyeliners from this Grow luscious range is matte while the silver (graphite) and green (emerald) ones have shimmers in them. I bought two of them, espresso and emerald. Drowning in regret now for not getting the black one!

 I'm surprised these only came in four shades! Wondered why they choose to make a green eyeliner instead of a blue or purple one. Probably because it goes with the theme color of the range's packaging. They are not that expensive, Guardian is currently having a sale and I believe these retail for B$12+.

Because they are in the Grow Luscious range, these eyeliners claim to have ingredients that help 'nourishes and support healthy lashes' and are hence called lashliners instead of eyeliners. They also claim to be made from botanical and vitamin rich formula. Personally, I don't really mind what ingredients they use as long as it doesn't harm my health or others' health (if applicable lol).

I really like how easy they are to apply. With just one swipe of this on my lashline I can get a super intense color! And once they dry down and settle, your eyeliner pretty much won't budge! The longest time I wore this is 8 hours and they managed to last that long on my eyelids, no creasing whatsoever. It did smudge a little no doubt because of yawning and stuff but there were no major smudge issues like how you get with lousy eyeliners.

I'm definitely impressed with these. Another reason why Revlon is always my top pick for drugstore makeup! I'm probably gonna pick up that matte black lashliner the next time I walk into Guardian!

Here's a FOTD I did using Espresso as my eyeliner:

Probably can't even tell I'm wearing eyeliner. Gah!

And just for fun, here's a before and after makeup:

The first thing Shala noticed when she saw this is that I'm cross-eyed fml! Before and afters always made me realise how dull my skin actually is! Thank God for blushers and highlighters!

 

I have a habit of combining foundations. Here I am using Revlon PhotoReady Foundation in Medium Beige and Skin79's Vital Orange BB Cream! 

On my lips: MAC lipstick in Bubblegum and Etude House's Moon Crystal Power lipgloss in Purply Holy Beam. Gawddd. Come on Etude House! You can do better than naming your gloss... that!!
