Olay Shine, Go Away! Shine Minimizing Cleanser

I received this product in the mail and I've been using this for about a month now, only in the morning on bare skin. I have normal to combo skin in my t zone area with my cheeks and forehead having the most oil. This has a nice scent, but a bit strong at times when you are cleaning your face you smell the product so be careful at the nose area if  it get in there you will have the urge to sneeze LOL. Also the scent does linger for a bit on your skin after you are finish cleansing your face. I would say it stays on the skin for about 5 to 10 minutes.  It feels very cooling and smooth on the skin.  You only need a dime size drop for my face and neck area and even then it is sometimes too much a little goes a long way with this product. This kind of foams up and spreads nicely. I do feel a little bit of a residue on my skin after I rinse, but it's not a problem. I don't know if I believe this "controls oil" but I do think this doesn't ADD oil to the skin while cleansing, and it does not dry out my skin to the point I think I need to add any moisturizer.

Later in the day, after using this product, no makeup, no moisturizer, I see no difference in the look of my skin concerning the control of oil. So to me, this is just a cleanser.

This cleanser has not caused any break-outs on my skin or acne. I think it's a nice cleanser for the morning. It does remove makeup well like liquid or cream products like foundation or concealer. Not even eye shadow and mascara will do the job as you know these are harder to get off the skin. That’s why you should use another product to remove that off your face before you using the cleanser.  I probably won't repurchase this product it really did do nothing for me no wow factor. Sorry to say but I feel like this is another gimmicky product that claims to do all these things but to be honest I see no change in my skin. Don’t get me wrong it is a nice product but nothing that I have seen already.

Colorstay Whipped Creme Foundation Review

I going to go stright to the point as to what I like and what I dont like for input you can check out the video that I did above but if you have any more question please comment down below.

Pros-

1. It a drug store foundation so you can find it anywhere from walgeesns ,cvc,rite aide target where ever Revlon is sold.

2. Texture - it is NOT a mouse nor does it feel very "whipped". It's very creamy. But light. Once applied it goes on VERY smooth and velvety like. It dries to an almost powder finish. I don't feel it on my skin. I found it to be surprisingly blendable and, amazingly, very natural looking. I could barely tell that I had on makeup, which is the way it should be.

3. Longevity wise - it stays put all day (even better than the Colorstay liquid), without creasing, caking, darkening or oxidizing, perfectly standing heat, sweat or oiliness. I didn't wear it for 24 hours ( and frankly, who does wear makeup for that long?) but it stayed on my skin for a good 10 hours, consistently looking fresh and natural. To ensure this crease-free finish, once I’ve dusted powder.

Pros:

-works well on a variety of skin types
-very long wearing without being drying
-natural finish
-layers very well to build up coverage
-no white cast in flash photography
-attractive packaging
-doesn't smell nearly as paint-like as original colorstay

Cons-

1. Color - Hard to tell from the jar and the jar comes sealed in plastic so you can't even open to look. All colors run darker than what you can see through the glass jar. Colorstay Whipped formula appears a tad darker than the original Colorstay Liquid I simply think it’s due to the lack of sunscreen. If you are darker then nc42 to a nc45 this is not going to work for you because of the shade range wont go that far

2. Container wise - the glass jar is really heavy and not especially hygienic (especially with water based formulations, which is the case here), usually I would rate this point badly but it looks so pretty in my bathroom, and stable, that this time it’s more a good point. Due to the thickness of this foundation, it would have been impossible to use a bottle (or even a squeeze tube) without wasting product, the jar will allow me to get even the last drops of this little gem. I simply wash my hands right before dabbing one finger into the jar, then dotting on my face (one part at a time) and buffing with my brush

3. Packaging - Not crazy about the heavy glass jar. Easy to drop out of your hands, very heavy. ,won't travel well since it's so bulky and heavy.

3. Price wise - not the cheapest one but far less expensive than any MAC foundation, for a far better result… what else ?!

5. Apply product with hands trying with brush or even a sponge does not apply the product wel. it just didn’t seem to spread the foundation around as much as I’d hoped  it soaks it up

6. Removing wise - not that easy to remove with a water-soluble cleanser (unless you use it with a washcloth)

Cons:

-no spf
-unhygienic packaging
-difficult to guess shade by looking at the pot
-must blend quickly, sets pretty fast
-color range
-packaging

(REVIEW) Sheer Cover Duo Concealer

I had gotten this product from my Influenster Beauty VoxBox for review purposes. This is the last review for the day . I am on a roll today I guess this makes up for the time that I have been gone.

 

This is THE BEST concealer I have ever used. I have dark circles under my eyes and brown spots on my face. This concealer followed by some mineral powder in a tan color and I can't even see where they were. You just have to go by your own skin color to choose the mineral powder for you. The concealer itself is very light and blend able and won't sit in the wrinkles. , I tried this and I looked almost normal. You could just barely see a slight darkness where the bruise is. I highly recommend this for coverups like bruises, birthmarks, acne, pimples. I used the mineral powder over it and it lasted all day. I didn't even need to touch it up.

 

Saw Sheer Cover products on an infomercial a while back one night . Wanted to try it to cover up old acne scars and hide my horrendous dark circles. Works like a DREAM! Haven't found any product yet that covers better than this. And it really does just melt into your skin tone. Every other concealer has always looked a little too yellow or pink on my skin. Great for any blemish you want to hide!!!!

 

Thanks to Influenster I was able to try out this product. This is one concealer that I will repurchase myself . I think if you can please try maybe it can work for you like it did for me

MAYBELLINE DREAM BOUNCY BLUSH

So as everyone know Maybelline had came out with these new blushes called dream bouncy blushes . At first I was going to stay away from this product because I really do not like any kind of cream blushes . But being that theses are a new product it sound so interesting and I was intrigued with the formula so I thought I would give it a try. It was an easy find at my local drug store. I bought 6 out of the 10 shades .

PIGMENTATION

Two out of the 6 was the most pigmented  which was the darker colors . Keep in mind I'm a NC 45 in Mac . The only way the other lighter colors will show on my skin is if I really pack it on but then, the feel of the cream blush would feel different on my face . It becomes more patchy more clay like ... even if you blend it the more you blend the more you lose the color ... So it like what was the whole point

FROM LEFT TO RIGHT

30 Candy Coral

50 Plum Wine

70 Hot Tamale

40 Pink Plum

10 Pink Frosting 

45 Orchid Hush

TEXTURE

Feels like a powder to cream finish but at the same time clay like . It is very light on the skin. At first touch on the packaging it does feels a little weird it takes me back to my childhood  days to when I use to play with play dough . Which is kind fun ... 

Plum Wine

PACKAGING

It contains 5.6 grams the names of each blush is on the back of the compact. Some people would say they would of have like it to be in front of the packaging for easier access. But I like it either way it reminds me of a mini Mac blush .


OVER ALL SUMMERY

I was not happy at all with this product. The concept was a good idea to draw attention for a new product that was a gimmicky move from the company . But that's all that was gimmicky. The pigmentation was low quality most colors was on the sheer side. Does not work on a lot of skin tones and for it to work on someone they really have to work on the blending and  and the packing on the product . On top of  that the lasting power on these are horrible. I'll give it at least 4 hours before the product is completely gone . Would I buy this product or even recommend it to anyone ....this is a big no , no don't even waste your money on this product unless you have money to waste .
