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.

November Favorites!!

So December is finally here, countdown till my bday.  For most this is an exciting countdown but for me it is a depressing one.  It's a countdown of my youth withering away slowly.  Haha I know I'm being SUPER dramatic but hey it's how I feel lol.  I can imagine it'll be worse as I get older but there is nothing I can do to stop me from getting older =[

Anyhoo this is a post of products I used and loved last month.  I'll start from left to right.

 1. Maybelline's dream lumi concealer- I have the shade radiant and it's a brightening pinky shade.  To be honest it might be a little to light for me but it really does brighten and highlights well.  I like it for those days that I don't get a lot of sleep or I just want to look extra awake and bright and glowy.  Now when I say glowy I don't mean shimmery, there is no shimmer in this product, the shade just brightens and makes you look healthy.

2.L'oreal extra volume collagen mascara- I've been using this mascara all month as my first layer.  I'm the type to layer them so I use this one with Tarte's Lights camera lashes mascara.  This one is in waterproof, and I like how it holds the curl of my lashes.  Also it's a very dry formula and those with straight lashes know that dry formulas don't weigh down your lashes.  It does have a large fiber brush but I find it easy enough to apply.  It does not lengthen at all but I mean it is labeled a volumizing mascara.

3. Revlon's lipstick in Fabulous Fig- Dark lips are in trend for fall and I'm sure it will follow into winter.  I've loved this color for a while and I first saw it on Sccastaneda's youtube videos.  It's a hard color to find but I bought mine from Rite Aid.  It comes in two formulas, the one I have it in is in the color stay formula which goes on creamy and then sets on your lips and lasts for a while, then the other is the matte formula.  I like the formula I have because I don't have to worry about it getting all over my face, as it does transfer a bit but not a lot.  

4.Revlon's lipstick in Va Va Violet- I know, I know, this lipstick looks black in the tube but its purple on the lips.  I've never tried this lipstick on its own only because it looks scary but mixed with Fabulous Fig it looks so good in my opinion.  Fabulous fig is more reddish brown but mixed with Va Va Violet it gives it a more plummy purple look. 

5. Bed Head Masterpiece Hairspray- THIS HAIRSPRAY SMELLS AMAZING!!!! That and it holds great. I'm not sure if it adds shine or not, my hair is already shiny so I can't tell. But I would recommend this on the smell alone.  If you don't like sweet smells stay away from this but I love it.

6. Marshmallow Fireside scent from Bath and Body Works- I love this scent!!!! Smells soo good. Like I said I love sweet smells but this has a hint of smokiness from the "smoldering woods".  I have it in the wallflower form but they also have this scent in candle form and its so good.  Make sure you look out for coupons and sales, Bath and Body works always has great deals!
