REVLON COLORSTAY WHIPPED FOUNDATION/ RIMMEL CLEAN FINISH FOUNDATION REVIEW


Hey guys!

I have two foundation reviews for you guys. I recently ran out of my ELF flawless finish foudnation from the studio line which I love! I honestly like it just as much if not more than the makeup forever hd foundation and its a fraction of the cost. 
So I decided to try out something new. I picked up the Rimmel Clean Finish Foundation. I saw a couple of people on youtube talk about it and thought I would try it out. 
I chose the shade sand because that is the name and similar color to the one I use from Elf. The Pros for this foundation are the packaging. It comes with a little spatula which is pretty cool and something I’ve never seen before. One I first applied it, it felt hydrating on my skin and very smooth. However within an hour of application the color oxidized and turned an orangey color. I noticed some areas looked a bit cakey. I gave this product a couple of tries but honestly I couldn’t deal with the way the color would change. I ended up returning it so unfortunately I don’t have any swatches of it.
When I returned it I decided to try out the Revlon Colorstay whipped foundation especially since it was on sale. I picked up the shade 200 sand beige. 
I took those pictures without flash so you can see the true color. It is hard to find your shade because the glass is so thick the colors look pretty similar. I think I ended up with the right shade, I could probably go down a shade for winter. Anyway so far I love this foundation. It feels great on the skin and is easy to apply. I started out with a brush but found it was easier just to use my fingers. The consistency is great its not too liquidy but its not a mousse either. I didn’t need a lot to do an entire face application. I actually just used what was on the plastic cover and didn’t even use what was in the jar. I know the liquid version dries fast and can be hard to work with, but the whipped version is definitely easier and takes a little longer to dry and settle into the skin. I haven’t worn it for 24hrs and I don’t think I ever will haha, but so far so good. 
Thats all for now, I’ll have a mini haul up soon!

MARCH FAVORITES

Here are a few of my favorite products that I have used consistently this month:
  1. Aussie 3 minute miracle deep conditioner: I mentioned this item in my hair care routine and I love it! Seriously I underestimated this conditioner I just added some blonde highlights to my hair and despite how harsh bleach can be this conditioner left my hair silky smooth. I even skipped the $30 macademia repair mask.  Definitely recommend this product and its under five dollars.
  2. Revlon colorstay lipstick in soft nude, it’s a perfect nude color and I like to pair it with the Revlon lip butter in creamsicle.
  3. Elf waterproof eyeliner pen/ Liquid Liner: Both of these liners are only a buck! The liquid liner provides for an even thinner line than the pen. I love both of these eyeliners so much they are super cheap and great quality and make applying eyeliner very easy. I recommend the pen for people that aren’t so great with eyeliner.
  4. Bath and Body works White Citrus Shower Gel: I have been loving this scent this month. It is such a clean fresh scent that is perfect for spring.
  5. Elf flawless finish foundation: I have mentioned this foundation a lot so its no surprise it would be in my favorites. However I did recently buy a new foundation, but only because the Elf foundation has spf in it. I was looking for one that didn’t for when I take pictures.
  6. Too faced Bronzer chocolate soleil: I have been reaching for this bronzer a lot. Sometimes for an all over bronzer as well as for contouring. I love how this bronzer smells just like chocolate.
  7. Suave kids hair detangler: I know this might sound weird but I love this! My hair can get so knotty and this stuff make its so manageable.
A non beauty item
Bath and body works candle in tiki beach. I love this candle it is such a tropical summery scent!

LIPSTICK COLLECTION/HAUL


Hi guys today Pepp and I went to CVS and I picked up four new lipsticks. I purchased two new revlon lip butters in creamsicle and tutti frutti, revlon colorburst lipstick in soft nude, and rimmel lasting finish by kate 01. I originally only went to the store for the lip butter tutti frutti but as usual ended up with more. 

So I thought I would show you guys my lipstick collection, I only have 10 which seems so little compared to all the people on youtube or with beauty blogs but I think I have a nice range of colors and to be honest I typically wear gloss more, but recently  I have been wearing lipstick more. 
Here are some swatches of all the lipsticks
Another swatch with all the names listed. 
My lipstick collection! Let me know if you have any questions. 
Just to add I think my favorites for spring/summer will be: tutti frutti which is a really pretty coral, soft nude, creamsicle which is a more peachy nude color, cotton candy (a rosy pink color) and kate moss’ red rimmel lipstick ( a true red).
