Revlon foundations

Hey guys! Welcome back!

Just wanted to give you a run down on the new Revlon foundation Nearly Naked and talk about where I think revlon was going with their new product opposed to their Colorstay foundations.

The revlon nearly naked comes with a white top has 1fl oz of product and the colorstay comes with a black top and also has 1fl oz of product.

The naked is a lighter consistency compared to the colorstay and colorstay whipped and it does provide a pretty good coverage for it to be NAKED.

I think that revlon is just fitting in with the rest of the cosmetics market, making a foundation that is lighter, more carefree and targeted to the girls who probably don't wear much makeup.

The nearly naked powder: hands down is the best powder that revlon has to offer, finely milled, good enough coverage and sets the oily areas without looking cakey!

My experience/thoughts:

I truly wanted to love the nearly naked i will link my tutorial from YOU TUBE because at the time I was in love with my nearly naked liquid foundation. Unfortunately I found that 400 caramel in the colorstay is not the same as 260 caramel in nearly naked, so it seems the colors run lighter and can be misleading! The coverage was medium and very build-able but for some reason it caused breakouts!!!

Final thoughts: I think the nearly naked liquid foundation is worth a try but save your receipts just in case! If you are a woman of color you may need to go up a color. The nearly naked powder is a must have!

The nearly naked liquid foundation comes in 16 shades but of course the darkest shades are hard to find in your local drugstore.

The nearly naked powder comes in 6 shades the darkest shade is DARK.

There you have it! Thanks for reading!

Pampering yourself, The DIY way

Ladies, with all of this fiscal cliff talk, higher gas prices and smaller paychecks I know you may start to feel like treating yourself is financially impossible.

But fear not girls I am here to share some of my favorite at home "spa day" products.

My favorite home pedicure product is the Avon foot works vitamin E paraffin. Helps your feet feel soft and moisturized.

Manicure fave. The true blu spa 60 second manicure scrub from bath and body works is the perfect product to quickly clean the nails, push back cuticles, rinse and carry on with your day!

How can it be a spa day without a facial! Freeman facial masks are my fave I have a few but the Super fruits version may be my favorite.

Ladies don't forget to treat yourself and not cheat yourself by breaking the bank for simple beauty up keep that can be done at home!
