Revlon PhotoReady Foundation

2011-08-25T07:54:00.000-07:00

Purchased from Myer for about $35AUD in shade Natural Beige. Packaging is a lot smarter than the ColorStay foundation; there's a pump! The formula seems a lot thicker than the ColorStay version which is fine by me. This shade is too dark for me to wear alone so I mix it with my Revlon ColorStay foundation in nude which so happens to be too light for me. There are slightly noticeable shimmers however it looks great in flash photography and gives a nice finish. Shimmers are no problem for me, wearing this during the day is just as ideal as wearing it for flash photography. This foundation gives a light to medium coverage and lasts for a good 16 hours from my experience. I have worn this clubbing and woken up with it still on (I know I should take off my makeup but rough night lol).

Revlon ColorStay Foundation

2011-08-25T07:32:00.000-07:00

Purchased in shade Nude for normal/dry skin at Myer for approximately $30AUD. Terrible packaging as you have to pour out the foundation, and it is running so you may get more than you need, making it a messy job. The smell of the foundation is awful. Coverage is good, light, and doesn't feel cakey. However this shade is too light for me and the next shade up is natural beige which is too dark for me. So I have darker shade and I mix them to get a shade that is closer to my skin colour. Once again, Revlon lives up to the "ColorStay" title; I have worn this clubbing and woken up with it still on (I know I should take off my makeup but rough night lol). Not so great in flash photography, I looked ghastly white, as if it wasn't bad enough that I'm so fair.

Taiwanese False Eyelashes

Recently purchased from Ebay; a bargain! I have previously used this model (#102). They're long but great for a casual look, and very natural because of criss-cross technique. The black strips are a bit tacky looking however it is hardly noticeable (nobody is going to be scrutinising your makeup). If you're after a more dramatic look, I suggest stacking :)

Limited Edition Revlon Super Lustrous Lipglosses

2011-08-23T07:36:00.000-07:00

Finally received this in the mail; purchased from Ebay. They usually retail about $20. From left to right, shades are Pink Pop, Lilac Pastelle and Coral Reef. Not super sticky, doesn't smell awful and brilliant pigmentation. Not to mention, super moisturising! I don't like using lipsticks and this is much like a lipstick but with lipgloss qualities. Loving them!

Revlon ColorStay Mineral Finishing Power

2011-08-23T07:29:00.000-07:00

“All over enhancing color in a talc-free mineral formula with ColorStay longwear.” I use it as a bronzer only because I’m fair and cant use darker shades (makes me look fake). Picked up from bargain section of Cincotta Chemist for $10AUD. Shade is in Sunkiss. Slightly noticeable sparkles. Sheer but buildable. Revlon keeps it word, staying power is pretty brilliant.

Maybelline Expert Wear Blush

2011-08-23T03:05:00.000-07:00

Picked this up from bargain section of Cincotta Chemist for $7.50AUD. Shade is in Dusty Mauve. Brush is useless lol, harsh, oddly shaped, doesnt pick up colour well and is messy to use. Blush is shear but buildable however staying power isn't wow. Not recommended for anyone darker than I am because it just shows up on me.
