Revlon Nearly Naked Foundation: Review

Hello!

I recently picked up a foundation and a powder from the Revlon Nearly Naked line. 

These products have been talked about SO much in the beauty world ever since it released!

I tried to resist but failed....and I wanted to give you my thoughts on these two products.

I bought the foundation in 120 Vanilla and the powder in Fair.

The Foundation:

When I hear "nearly naked" I would think *very* sheer coverage.  I have acne scarring around my chin and I feel like one layer covers decent.  A second layer of foundation, I may just need a tiny bit of concealer.  This foundation covers very well, yet looks natural on me.  I also like that this particular shade is yellow, which I personally like, unlike Colorstay which many of the shades are pink. It gives a sheen as you can see in the pictures below, but contains no glitter (which I hate).  This foundation stays on me all day too! 

PROS:

• Good coverage
• Lasts all day
• Gives a nice dewy glow
• Looks natural and flawless on the skin
• Can find at the drugstore

CONS:

• No pump... why, Revlon, why?

All in all, I would definitely recommend this foundation if you are looking for a drugstore option that gives good coverage but looks dewy and flawless!

Powder:

I love this powder because it is finely milled and works perfectly to set any foundation! It doesn't have the powdery look that some pressed powders can give; it just looks like a second skin! *However*, I bought the lightest shade Revlon offers and it is WAY to dark for me.  Now, I am fair, yes, but I'm not the palest of the pale.  I have never had a problem with the lightest powder in a line being too dark for me!  This is very disappointing to me and I wish they had a lighter shade because I LOVE this powder other than the poor color selection!

PROS:

• Finely milled
• Sets Foundatin
• Looks like second skin

CONS:

• Lightest shade too dark for my skintone

I would recommend this product for those looking for a nice setting powder and are darker than an NC20.  This really is a nice product and I will definitely be using it when I have more of a tan!

 

Have you tried any of the Revlon Nearly Naked line?

Revlon Photoready BB Cream: Review

Hi Ya'll!

I wanted to do a review on my current weekly face product I have been using lately.

I say "weekly" because I am a college student with early classes, which means I don't want anywhere near a full-face of make-up daily.  I try and not wear foundation during the week because I believe that it is better for my skin...Whether that is true or not, I'm not sure.

So, I have been testing out a BB cream for about a month or so, and I have to say I have really been enjoying it!

I have been using the Revlon Photoready BB Cream in the shade Light.

The following might scare you... It's me with no makeup.... at all.... 

Also, keep in mind, this was very early this morning so my hair is little to be desired and so on...

So let's get to the review shall we?

I have pretty normal balanced skin but I do have hyper-pigmentation from breakouts on my skin.  I wanted something light, but some coverage at the same time.

Absolutely no Makeup, Only SkinMD moisturizer!!!! AHHHHH!

I needed an easy all-in-one product to just get me out the door to class. I wanted it to last throughout the day so I didn't have to worry about it going class to class!

This is about how much product I use!

 I usually apply this with my fingers.  I put it all over my face and blend it out.  Sometimes, if I'm feeling fancy, I will use my Real Techniques Buffing Brush.

...And this does just that.  My face is more even, the spots on my face are concealed and it lasts all day long for me! I absolutely am loving this product!  See the pictures and decide for yourself!

 This is JUST with the BB cream, No concealer or powder of any kind! Amazing difference, eh?

I have not broken out from this product, which is a huge plus for me!

I got this at Walgreens for around $10 bucks.

I recommend this product if you want a light feel, with some coverage.  

This is another picture to show that all my problem areas are concealed once more! (Note: I don't like to take selfies, so therefore, this kinda thing is what you get.)

Have you tried any BB creams that you're loving?
