If you're like me and always on the quest for skin perfection, then I may have discovered the secret  of a foundation that can do that for you thanks to Revlon.  I'm talking about their new Colorstay Whipped Creme Makeup that I recently had the opportunity to review in #110 Ivory and #150 Buff.

Once your finger or sponge dabs some of this luxurious cream foundation from the jar to apply on your face, you notice how smoothly this formula melts into your skin.  Furthermore, it blends like a dream for beautiful medium coverage while doing a great job to make a complexion more flawless.  Another thing I want to point out is that you can also build on this foundation for heavier coverage, if you need it in the event of an unexpected pimple or small scar you want to hide . 

And yet there is more about this makeup that makes it outstanding.  I loved how breathable this foundation felt without looking chalky or artificial while lasting through an entire day.  The satin like finish I was left with was natural looking as well.

As far as shades go, the #110 Ivory has a bit more pink color but would be suitable for me.  On the other hand, the #150 Buff has more yellow and is a better choice for my light and warm-toned complexion.

Create Sexy, Smoldering Eyes! Revlon Colorstay Smoky Shadow Sticks Review--Swatches--Photos

June 2012 marked a wonderful month for beauty shoppers when Revlon Cosmetics launched several new varieties of cosmetics to their line with Colorstay Smoky Shadow Sticks, Age Defying DNA Advantage Concealer, Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain, and Colorstay Whipped Creme Makeup.  I had the chance to put those products to the test for a review.

Today, I will be giving you my take on Colorstay Smoky Shadow Sticks that come in five shades.  These thick crayon type pencils have one end of darker color for lining the eye while the opposite end has a lighter highlight shade to use on the lid.  I got to try Volcanic (a dangerous deep gray and silvery white), Flare (dark glimmering plum and orchid), Smolder (gorgeous deep teal and  pale silvery blue-green), and Atomic (dark earthy olive-green and lighter coppery gold color).  

In the above photo starting on the left is #220 Volcanic, #210 Flare, #205 Atomic, and last #215 Smolder.

On my arm are the contour and highlight shades of each starting on the left is #220 Volanic#210 Flare, #215 Smolder and ending at my wrist are the two shades of #205 Atomic.

I loved how creamy  these amazing crayons were to blend to create the look of smoky eyes.  Apply the lighter shade from the lash line to the brow bone and then turn the crayon upside down and work with the darker end to rim along your lash line and crease before using your fingers to smoke it out.  

You can skip using your normal eye liner because the tip of the darker side is pointed enough to do the job.  However, if you want more definition use with your own eyeliner, which I think would be a better choice for making your eyes stand out to the max since the slanted tip is rather thick for that need.

The color combinations are wonderful.  If your eyes are sensitive,  you will have no problem of any flying shadow residue to get into your eye like the powder form of eyeshadow.  Another good point is their sticks twist out for more of the product and retract again, which makes them safer bets from breakage. 

In the photo below and starting at the top of my hand is #220 Volcanic, #210 Flare, #215 Smolder, and closest to my thumb is #205 Atomic.

Keep Summer Going With Revlon Cosmetics: Review of 2012 Escapism Collection by Gucci Westman

Don't despair about these last remaining weeks of summer.  Although the warm weather will soon be gone, you still can take advantage of some amazing products from Revlon Cosmetics 2012 Escapism Collection by Gucci Westman that will keep that summer glow alive so you can play up your tan like never before!  Let me tell you about some exciting must-have items, inspired by sparkling aqua hues of the sea, bold colors, and sunlight as it casts magic over sandy beaches of St. Tropez to keep you just as sizzling hot.

If you haven't tried Revlon's ColorBurst Lipgloss, then you are missing out.  These are supremely moisturizing, have a wonderful texture without any stickiness, go on sheer with a doe-foot type of applicator so following the contours of your lips is easier to dispense the product. 

I received three ColorBurst Lipglosses in Crystal Water #40 (a sparkling sheer white with traces of lilac that is ideal for layering), Sizzle #46 (a juicy bite of sheer orange and on the left in my photo), and Sunbaked #44 (a gorgeous mauve-brown void of a shimmer livened up with a tad of red for the perfect universal nude shade).

Those hunting for the ultimate blush that delivers a realistic natural glow would love Revlon's PhotoReady Cream Blush.  The consistency of this cream feels silky against your fingers and once you blend this into the apples of your cheeks, you are left with only the most radiant sheer glow imaginable that eventually dries to a powder with a satin finish.  Though much lighter on the cheeks, this is a very buildable blush.  All you do is to dab some into the pads of your fingers and tap the area that needs more--and you deepen the shade.

The two shades of Revlon's PhotoReady Cream Blush that I worked with were Flushed #200 and Pinched #100Flushed #200 is a lively hot pink in the package that lightens upon application to a fabulous glowing pink.  Whereas, Pinched #100 is a warmer peach-coral shade that worked miracles with the yellow tones of my skin for infusing it with a vigorous burst of health. 

I also was sent Revlon's CustomEyes Shadow and Liner in Beach Bunny.  The five colors in this compact, which has mica and not talc, are a combination of matte and shimmer with soft medium brown overcast with gold light, a pale matte aqua green, a shimmery white, a medium matte gray, and a black liner color for a striking effect once worn.  These shades are nicely pigmented and lasted for hours without creasing.

I really liked these Revlon products from this summer collection and do hope you grab them while they're still available.  Trust me, and you will love what they can do for you!
