Pump bottle for Revlon Colorstay and other foundations!

 Emptied the bottle and took of the sticker on the original bottle and stuck it on my new bottle!
It has no straw thing that sucks up the product so no clogging and wasting product!



As most of you guys know, Revlon Colorstay is my HG foundation it's my favorite and  I love it!!!! but there is one thing I  dont like.. it's the packaging. It has no pump and can make things really messy and waste a lot of product. A lot of product ends up smearing all over the bottle cap and spout. So in order to remedy this problem I bought an airless pump bottle from ebay! it is airless so you know you wont be wasting any product through the little straw spout and the bottom even pushes up to let you get every drop of product! It also comes with a cap so you know nothing will spill in your makeup bag during travels. It is also air proof, so no oxidizing for the foundation. If you want to reuse the bottle simply press down the piece that rises to the bottom! I bought 2 for 3.99 + shipping which was about 2.50 or so. Make sure you sanitize the bottle with alcohol or some antibacterial soap and water and let it dry overnight!

REVIEW: Essence Stay With Me Lipgloss in "My Favorite Milkshake"

I recently purchased my new lipgloss from Fred Meyer for $2.29 .. I loved how milky the color looked inside the tube. However, swatched the color was a lot more sheer than i had expected. It was definitely a milky peachy pink but a lot more sheer than i wanted it to be. The consistency is thick but not sticky=) YAY! and i can kind of understand why they call it a "long wearing lipgloss"  It looks great over nude and pinky-peach lipsticks to make a great everyday nude lip. The lipgloss itself smells fruity florally, not my favorite but not unbearable either!



 On the lips a nice sheer pink color

In the tube :)



OVERALL THOUGHTS

Pigmentation: 6/10
Longevity:8/10
Price: 2.29 at fred meyers

GRADE: B

REVIEW: Revlon PhotoReady Perfecting Primer 001 & Shiseido Extra Smooth Sun Protection Lotion SPF 38 PA ++

Revlon Photo Ready Perfecting Primer, I recently picked this up at Fred Meyer for 50% off.. I bought this along with the essence stay with me lip gloss which ill be reviewing later on~

First impressions on this primer.. is that it is silicone based for sure.. I have read a couple of reviews here and there that it is not silicone based.. but the first ingredient on the list is dimethicone. So after wearing it today, I have to say that it is one of my favorite primers I have tried, I have tried too faced, laura mercier, Loreal magic perfecting base and nothing can beat this as of now. It has a nice thinner consistency more liquidy than the Loreal magic perfecting base and dries into a nice matte finish. I LOVE IT... i havent had to powder once today, but i have blotted once! it does a great job at filling in the pores and the fine lines and making your skin look relatively perfected. Today I used it with the Shiseido sunscreen, and i dont know if it is the sunscreen keeping me matte or the primer... either way both of these products together work amazing to keep my SUPER oily skin at bay. Its been over 6 hours and my skin looks really good!

REVIEW: NYX MEGA SHINE LIPGLOSS - GOLDEN PINK

I recently purchased a NYX mega shine lip gloss,  in golden pink....
I love this lipgloss it has the perfect consistency its not to sticky, but has the perfect amount of resistance when you rub your lips together. The color I chose was not as pigmented, but i know of other famous colors such as "beige" that are super pigmented. The gloss I chose is pink with golden shimmers.. not gritty AT ALL.. super nice on that aspect.  


OVERALL :

Pigmentation: 8/10
Longevity: 7.5/10
Consistency: 10/10
Price: $ 4-6 bucks depending on where you go.

                                                                     Nice packaging
Nice doe foot applicator

Revlon Color Stay Foundation Review in Sand Beige 180

The revlon colorstay liquid foundation is by far my most reached for foundation. It by far has the best staying power and coverage. I used to apply it using my ELF flat top powder blush, but I decided to cave in and buy a beauty blender, I'm glad I did because its simply amazing. Just get it damp and apply foundation to face and blend away.... seriously amazing works wonders for the most thickest foundations

HOWEVER, like all foundations... I have yet to find a foundation or primer that keeps me matte throughout the whole day, although I do powder and seldom blot I still find my face becomes an grease ball by hour six. That is only because I have extremely oily skin mainly in the t-zone. Im on the hunt for a new moisturizer and primer..

JUST AS A NOTE: The oily combo type has a black cap, or normal to dry skin has a glossy clear cap over the black cap

anyways just a quick pro's and con's

PRO's

- cheap
- long lasting
- full coverage
- wide color selection


CON's
- no pump ( boo.. revlon)
- can look slightly cakey on drier skin types
-application is best done with a beauty blender ( In my opinion for the best flawless coverage no dry flakes)

LONGEVITY: 10/10
COVERAGE: medium to full coverage
PRICE:$$ 10-12  its usually cheaper at Target or Walmart
