Revlon's Nearly Naked Foundation & Powder

 Revlon's Nearly Naked Foundation and Powder

A couple weeks ago I was able to purchase the foundation and powder set from Revlon.  I had been using Cover Girl for most of my life and was quite afraid to try new products.  This product in particular is not my first Revlon product but I was really excited about this and wanted to review this one first.

The liquid foundations consistency is pretty similar to all the rest of the liquid foundations out there.  I didn't find it too liquidy or too thick. The coverage seemed pretty good overall.  This item is "nearly naked" and for someone like me where my skin has a tendency to break out often, it was okay.  If I had the skin that I did as a teenager, this would've been Perfect.  On my days where my skin isn't having issues, this is my go to foundation.  I love the way it looks and feels.  It doesn't feel cakey or thick.  It actually feels very light (in my opinion).

 

Price was very decently priced.  I purchased my Revlon Nearly Naked foundation and powder from Walgreen's and it was "under" $10/each.  In my eyes, this was a decent price as most of Revlon's products are a bit on the higher end than most.

 

My rating for this 1 out of 5 stars, I would give it a 4.5.  I didn't give it a perfect 5 because unless I'm jumping for joy then I won't give it 5 stars.  I like it a lot and will go to it often but not quite completely sold yet.

 

 

I believe that this is a very well made product and is worth the buy for its price. 

 



Créme Brulee Lipstick by Revlon

It's been years since I've worn lipstick due to allergic reactions. Just recently I decided to try lipstick again and so far so good. I do have to wear carmax chapstick first before applying on the lipstick but I at least am able to wear them now. I am quite picky of what lipstick I wear and what brand but Revlon seems to be the one that I've fallen for. I love all the Revlon products because they don't have this over powering smell to them and so far have worked well with my skin.

I've been wanting to try out nude lipsticks for awhile now and well this Créme Brulee lipstick by Revlon is awesome. It glides on smoothly and gives that lip glossed look which I love.

If you are looking for some good drugstore lipsticks, choose Revlon. Revlon is a little bit more on the expensive side but worth it. I recently changed over some products from CoverGirl to Revlon and love it thus far.

  

Ebay Samsung Galaxy Note II Case

So last Wednesday or Tuesday I ordered a case for my new phone via Ebay because of how cute the case was. I ordered an Owl Case that was just to cute to pass by. The case was relatively cheap coming in at $6.95. I had put this item as "will buy" a week prior to actually purchasing it. Good thing that I did as the price went up to $7 and some change. It's not much of a difference but if you can get something at a lower price, why not lock it in.

Well today I received the item. The shipping from this person I purchased it from stated in the ad that it should be received by Jan 14th and well it was received 2 days early so I'm quite happy about that.  Now for the bad.

I've bought plenty of cases online and mainly via Ebay before, in fact I bought one from a different person just three weeks prior to this one and it came as it was listed. I will have a review on that later. Going back to the Owl case I just received. It stated in the ad that it was "New". Well when I received the item it was in what looks like the original package. As I continued to open and analyze the item (which I didn't have to look to closely to notice) I realized that there were these "soap" spots on the inside. As I looked further it was the whole inside of the case that looked like it had been washed. If this item is "new" like it was described,  there shouldn't be any "soap" spots. Furthermore the outside of the case with the owl print also had black spots and when touched it felt like stuff was stuck to it. It did fall off as I used my finger/nails to remove it. That was a bit nasty to not know what I had just picked off my case. All in all, this item will suffice for what was paid but completely disappointed that it was advertised as "new" as it clearly was not. Before using it I did have to clean it just for my sanitary sanity. Will I order from this particular company/person again, No.

Covergirl & Olay Tone Rehab 2-in-1 Foundation Base

On January 10, 2013 I decided to finally try out the New Covergirl & Olay Tone Rehab 2-in-1 Foundation Base. My thoughts on this is that it did an overall good coverage but I really dislike the sweet smell that it comes with.

Pros:
- Good coverage
- Fairly priced

Cons:
- Has a very obvious strong sweet smell (perfumey)
- Coverage doesn't last all day

If you're not bothered by perfumey sweet smells, this Covergirl & Olay Tone Rehab 2-in-1 Foundation Base may be good for you. I did notice that when you first apply the foundation it looks a lot lighter than the color that it really is but does change to what it says. I also noticed that my face became very oily rather quickly. I did use another Covergirl Powder on top but that only helped for a little bit.

My overall thoughts on this product is not good. 1 out of 10 with 10 being the best, I would give this product a 4. I can't stand the strong sweet smell and with my face getting that oily that quick, not a fan. This may work for someone who may have dry skin but if your face is just slightly oily, I wouldn't recommend it. I honestly will probably never use this Covergirl & Olay Tone Rehab 2-in-1 Foundation Base again.
