Cvs Haul!


So CVS is having some great beauty deals this week. One to take note of is that physicians formula is 50% off! If u happen to find anything with those wonderful $3 peely coupons u have an awesome deal. Plus if u scan ur CVS card you'll get a $4 off if you spend $12 or more on beauty products.
Also Wet n Wild is bogo 50%. Wet n Wild prices are already reasonable so any discount is good. 
So I picked up the new coverall cream foundation in shades 819 medium and 858 tan. Also I got the matching powder in 825B medium. Then I got the coloricon bronzer in reserve your cabana, I've heard that this is a great highlight. The two foundations were $3.99 each and the powder was $2.99. The bronzer was $3.99. Coming to a total of about $15.00 but with the sale the total went down to $11.46. The lady at the register was nice enough to hand key my coupon since my total was less than $12. So then my total was $7.46 then plus tax was $8.49.  I feel like CVS usually has good deals on beauty stuff. If you've been wanting to pick up some wet n wild I would suggest doing it this week at CVS.

Review:Revlon PhotoReady BB Cream

So I bought this product from target, I believe its $8 and some change.  It claims to prime, moisturize, cover like a foundation, blur flaws like a concealer and protect from the sun.  
I do believe it moisturizes and protects from the sun, but that's pretty much all it does.  I used this product for a week straight and found that it didn't really do much to cover anything, it just somewhat evened out my complexion and neutralized redness but not completely.  To get the most coverage I found that applying with the fingers was best.  Also it made me super shiny...not dewy but greasy.  So every time I had no choice but to set it with a powder.  I thought this product was going to be convenient on those days you just need to get out the door quick but I ended up disappointed.  Also I got the shade light medium but I think it was a little light for me.  
I can see this being a good product for summer though.  I'm very conscious of keeping my skin protected from the sun especially my face.  In the summer I can't leave my house without sunblock on or my skin freaks out and gets red and blotchy.  So this can give me some added coverage with sunscreen that I need to put on anyways.  I'm going to get the medium shade though.  
 In conclusion if you are looking to replace your foundation with something more light weight this is not the product for you.  This has nowhere near the coverage of a foundation or concealer as it claims to have.  Also those with super oily skin STAY AWAY lol this will make you into a grease ball immediately.

Face after application

Honestly when you look at the pictures my face does look better after application but I think some of it has to do with lighting lol.  Anyways this product might work for you if you don't need coverage just looking to even out your complexion slightly.
