hi everyone!! i've been a slacker at posting lately. i moved a month ago and school started on the 11th for me. so life's been super crazy. thank goodness for a 3 day weekend!! i'll have tons of time to pre-write posts for the blog!! i'm trying to be tons more active on my social media's as well. so check them out on the sidebar ----->. now, onto the review!!
i have heard so many people talk about this foundation/concelealer/powder duo for a while. my favorite drugstore foundations are the revlon colorstay and the covergirl stay fabulous, which are both $10 a bottle, and this was only $6. i worried about how it would do, because of the huge price difference, so i went onto influenster and asked a question about it.
and i had amazing responses that made me want to go out and get it asap
(if you want to know more about influenster, check out my last blog post.)
i told myself i couldn't buy it and try it until i finish up my bottle of foundation, because i didn't want to waste $10 to just go out and buy a different foundation, so that's what i did. i recently ran out and got this one. (along with the concealer and powder because i was out of those too). the first thing i noticed while trying it is that on the bottle, it says "oil free foundation". when i squeezed it on my hand, i noticed around the little circle of foundation there was a ring of oil. (i tried to get a picture but it didn't happen again after that.) i ignored it and put it on my face anyway. i didn't notice any oil on my face. i did notice that the shade i got (which is the lightest, 105 to be exact) was super dark. i was a little disapointed until i put the concealer on and it was super light (also 105). i now mix a little bit of the concealer in with the foundation so it more suits my color more. the foundation coverage isn't the best unless you build it up. it also tends to wear off after 4 hours (even when i use primer) which i can't stand.
RATE / 7/10
WOULD I REPURCHASE? / MAYBE
the concealer is amazing! it is easy to blend and it covers everything. it isn't cakey and it doesn't crease. the color matches my skin tone absolutely perfect! by far, on my top 3 favorite drugstore concealer!
RATE / 10/10
WOULD I REPURCHASE? / YES
i only ever use translucent powder, so when i found out that there is no translucent powder in this line, i was quite upset. i got the lightest color they had, and it is too dark! #paleproblems. besides that, the powder is great. it sets your makeup, i haven't noticed any creasing yet, but i have noticed oil. not my favorite powder, but it'll do
RATE / 8/10
WOULD I REPURCHASE? / MAYBE
