Product Review: Revlon Colorstay Whipped Foundation.

Hey Beauties,

Wow I must say, making a post from another computer, is kinda weird! But hey, I can't do much about my situation right now. Speaking of my laptop - My Dad has repaired the screen, but ever since he has done that, my laptop hasn't really agreed with the change, so its playing up. He's going to try fix it, but I told him if worst comes to worst, just rebuild it (My laptop is an old fart) and just save most of my general items.

Anyway, onto todays post. Today I am doing a review on Revlon's Colorstay Whipped Foundation, which I have been using for over a year. Don't threat though, I have repurchased it! And I am onto my second pot of it. I have written down dot points about the item, so I'm going to try and write it into sentence form.

This foundation comes in 7 shades. From lightest to darkest they are; Buff, Sand Beige, Nude, Natural Beige, Medium Beige, Warm Gold and True Beige. I use the lightest shade Buff. I previously got tested by at the Revlon counter and was told I was Sand Beige, but after a few months using it, and becoming more knowledgable in makeup, I noticed the colour was slightly too orange for me, so I decided to go a shade lighter.

The formula of this 'creme' foundation is very thick, which makes people walk away from the product and is the reason why alot of people don't buy it. Because they think the product will look very cakey on their skin, but I don't have a problem with that. Its a product that people either love or hate.

I personally like this product mainly because of the coverage. I only apply one layer on my face, and occasionally I conceal, depending on how bad my acne is, but this is very good at covering my acne scarring. I have worn this product through all seasons and even on the smoking hot, boiling summer days, and I fear that my foundation is going to drip off, at the end of the day I go home and it has stayed put all day. It doesn't dry up your skin either, and I guess you can say it is sorta oily, not too oily, but just the right amount that it sets fast, doesn't smudge and all the good stuff.

Alot of reviews I have read have all been reviewed by people with 'Normal' type skin. And they don't seem to like it that much. I have oily skin, and I love this product, so I would say its best for people with oily to combination skin.

The foundations lasting ability is very good. I have worn it for 12 hours (approx) and it has lasted the entire time. The product says it should last up to 24 hours but, come on, I'm not going to wear foundation for that length of time just to see if its true.

The product is also Talc and Paraben free. And I've heard/read that products that are Paraben free are good for your skin? Correct me if I am wrong.

I find this product not to be heavy on the skin at all like alot of people think it would be. And people think it would be pretty cakey too. It can be cakey if you over apply it. So I normally apply a little, by a little. In saying that, this product is easily buildable.

Another good thing about this product is that has SPF 20 in it. Which I actually did not know until I just read the pot half an hour ago.

For the price of this product, because it is by Revlon, and us in Australia get really over priced makeup (I envy you in the US) this product isn't the cheapest. So I will only buy on special occasions or Mum will buy it for my birthday or something. The cost in AU Dollars is: $26.20 (Price from Priceline website. Prices may vary from store to store.)

I am considering making a foundation routine video so you can all see how I use this foundation.

Have you used this foundation before? What do you think of it?

Keep Smiling,
