Cover Girl Outlast Stay Fabulous Foundation Review


Let me start off by saying I'm on my 3rd bottle of this foundation, you know what that means...I love it!
I must admit I was never a fan of Cover Girl, there's probably two products I can name from that brand before this foundation that I can say I enjoy. For some reason when I ran out of foundation I decided to go for this one in particular because it said it does amazing things and it said NEW on the package. I'm glad I gave it a shot. The Cover Girl Outlast Fabulous foundation comes in 14 shades, this foundation claims to give an "all-day flawless coverage". It also says it has "the lasting power of a primer, coverage of a concealer, and blendability of a foundation in one" and its oil-free. First of all I love that it has a pump, it makes it super convenient and I don't waste product because its easy to control the amount I want.
It was kind of easy to find my perfect shade. I chose 857 Golden Tan. It had me at "Golden"
that's what I need in  foundation, that nice golden undertone to match me and this one is great. 
To me this foundation gives a medium coverage and its buildable to full coverage or it can be apply lightly for a more natural finish. I love the matte finish it gives because it doesn't look like a dry matte but instead is more natural looking. Because I don't have bad skin I cant say it covers like a concealer. I only use concealer under my eyes to brighten them up a bit since I have a baby and I don't sleep as I'd like. I also don't have to use much powder to set it, I only use a very small amount of my favorite powder and just focus on my t-zone and under eyes if I applied concealer on that day  I think this foundation blends so well with either my hand or a brush. There's 2 brushes I like using, the 1st one is the ELF powder brush and the 2nd is Eco tools custom coverage buffing brush, both of them make this product blend amazing and makes it look really good on my skin. 
Other things I'd like to mention is I don't have to use a primer with this foundation but there's times I choose to, at least I did sometimes during the summer because here in TX it gets humid and way to hot. The lasting power is amazing. I love long wearing foundations because I don't like touching up my make up when I go out. I've had this foundation on for more than 8 hrs at times and even though it wont look as if I just applied it (obviously) it stays looking pretty good.
I definitely recommend this foundation, I don't know how it would work on someone with dry skin but I'm sure that with the right moisturizer and/or primer this would be just fine for anyone.

REVIEW:Revlon Colorstay Whipped Creme Makeup

Hello So I am finally back with a new post :) and this one is actually very exciting..at least for me haha
I already made a video about this product on my YouTube channel a couple of weeks ago but I also wanted to have one on my blog...so here it goes 

The Revlon Colorstay Whipped Creme Makeup is new and I had no idea it was out until the day I saw it at CVS and decided to buy it. It is more expensive there (I paid $13.49 for it)
The first thing I noticed is that they didn't have that many shades to chose from so I went for the darkest one they had on display which is 400 early Tan. I used the Colorstay liquid foundation in Early Tan so I figured it was probably similar, but not, this one is actually darker and more of a neutral shade which bothers me a bit but not enough for me to not use it.
I wish it was more yellow but it still works. The Packaging is a bit different than what I am used to have but it is very convenient due to the fact that the foundation is thick. It is glass and it had a little plastic top that annoys me so I threw it away 

Like it??
YES!! not only do I like it, I LOVE IT! my skin type is normal to combination, some foundations can make my t zone ridiculously oily...not this.
why?
Well it is very different, it is thick but not nasty thick that makes it hard to work it. It is very blendable and gives me a nice coverage. I say its light to medium coverage depending on how much you apply, and it claims to be buildable to full coverage...I personally haven't tried that because I am pleased with one layer of this foundation. It also claims to last 24 hrs? now, I don't know about that, but it has lasted up to 10 hrs on my face. Once I apply it I don't have to touch up with powder throughout the day which I love because I don't carry a makeup bag with me. 
How I apply it:
Well I always use a primer, then I dot it all over my face and blend it with the ELF studio powder brush (flat top) I use a bit of the Rimmel Stay Matte powder to set it and I am good to go.
Final thoughts:
I have noticed that I do not get shiny at all with this foundation, my makeup looks good even when I am outside in this nasty humid weather in Texas. Like I mentioned, I don't have to touch up and it is long lasting.
I am very happy with it and has quickly become my favorite foundation. Other things I'd like to mention is that this foundation doesn't seem to oxidize on me and also it doesn't really transfer which is also a plus. It doesn't look cakey and gives like a natural matte finish, my favorite and it didn't break me out, but then again nothing really does.
Anything bad?
its not yellow enough...that is it in my opinion.
I personally enjoy this foundation and I hope you do too if you decide to purchase it.
I hope I didn't leave anything out and if you have any questions, leave a comment.
If you'd like to see the video I did about this and see how I apply it, then check it out below.
