I'm very much in awe with the new Revlon Photoready Candid Foundation , meet bold and bare makeup that you and your skin can feel good about! This foundation provides a medium yet buildable coverage and the innovative formulation contains the antioxidant and anti-pollutant power of Vitamin E plus anti-blue light ingredients to help protect the skin from the environmental stressors we encounter every day.  It’s also super easy to apply, really creamy - while providing such a beautiful, natural finish. It basically melts into my skin like a moisturizer and the coverage is very pretty and polished too.  It is oil-free and allows my skin to breathe which makes it perfect for oily to combination skin types and our current sunnier, South African weather.  It also stays put right throughout the day plus there's none of that nasty midday slick and shine.  I also love the durable tube that fits easily into my handbag along with my other Rev...

I received a tangerine shade of lipstick from the Revlon Super Lustrous range in 053 called So Lit and was reluctant at first to use it. But I decided to be brave and try it out as it is such an on-trend colour and I’m kind of sick of being behind trends in general. By the time I fell in love with the backpack trend they were all very difficult to find.  When I first saw leopard print shoes I thought they were too bold and now I’m besotted with them, even with the rainbow (specifically the pink) hair colouring trend, you see where I’m going with this?  So, here’s my thoughts on the product. I love the matte look on my lips and the colour is growing on me, in fact, it looks really amazing. It’s pigmented and applies well so you only need one coat for a vivid, bold hue. I also like that it’s buildable which makes reapplication very easy , I’ve seen some lipsticks that smear in an unflattering, streaky way when you want to do touch-ups. And it stays on...

The Revlon Photoready Insta-filter Foundation in 320 True Beige  appears very natural looking on my skin and the shade blends in perfectly with my skin tone. On first application my face looks blemish free and almost flawless, however by the end of the day I do find that my pores appear shiny and not as polished. Then again I do live in one of the hottest parts of South Africa.  I always have to be careful not to use too much product as the coverage is really great and a little goes a long way. It comes with a nifty looking build-in sponge which I sadly don't use as I like to apply my foundation with my fingers. There’s a gap right in the middle where a tiny stream of foundation flows into in you twist the bottom part of the bottle. I normally squeeze the sponge to quickly zap up the product with my fingers. Like previously mentioned I like using my fingers, I’m not into foundation brushes or sponges at all as I feel it’s not very hygienic and also becau...

The Revlon Photoready Insta-Sculpt Contouring Palette 001 allows for a very natural contouring look as the shades are not that dark. Which I like, I think it is perfect for a daytime look that’s normally less dramatic. In the pictures below I’ve applied the bottom right shade under my cheekbones and the bottom left shade on the sides of my nose.  The peachy hue of the top left shade goes onto my cheeks, giving it a youthful look and the highlighter which is the top right shade goes onto my chin, the bridge of my nose and across my cheekbone.  I can definitely see the difference contouring does to my face and it’s great to have a cute contouring kit like this one as it has all the shades to create a beautifully defined look. I really enhance my facial features in a lovely, natural way. I always use a dash of powder and makeup setting spray to set my look and this trick really helps the contouring to stay put. The black packaging of this product is...

I’ve been wearing the Revlon Colorstay Creme Eye Shadow in 710 Caramel for over 5 months and I’m still impressed every time I use it . Apart from being so pretty and leaving a lovely pigmented golden hue on my eyelids, I love the fact that it’s so hygienic . In my opinion, I’ve found that most eyeshadows accumulate bacteria very fast. I had to tuck many shadows in the past due to this however, the Revlon Colorstay Creme Eye Shadows comes with a lid that screws on tightly , in fact, the overall package of this product is quite amazing. The glass bottom part allows you to see the great colour which makes the product stay beautiful for the longest time.  Also, it comes with a cute little eyeshadow brush that I sadly never use as I like to use my fingers when applying eyeshadows and foundations. The product itself is also really amazing as one coat is all I normally need.  It’s long-wearing, pretty and it always creates beautifully, glam makeup look...

A show stopper it is, Revlon’s beautiful new matte Super Lustrous Lipstick in the shade called (052) Show Stopper! It suits my skin tone so well and I guess I just never found the right hue as I’ve always stayed away from red lip colours in the past. However this one, seriously, va va woom!  I love the fact that it stayed on during a hot summery day, a weeks ago. I was out and about town, busy with Christmas shopping where after I had something to eat and drink at a restaurant. I also remember asking my mom about the appearance of my lips so that I could make mental notes for this post.  I didn’t completely believe my mom when she told me repeatedly that it still looked perfect however when I visited the bathroom I had all the proof I needed. It still looked fabulous and intact, even on the edges of my lips.  Like, there wasn’t really any need for touch-ups. One coat is all you need to cover your lips but I think 2 coats are a safe bet for a fabu...
