Revlon 24 hour Colorstay Whipped Creme Foundation

Purchasing:

I heard a lot of hype about this new whipped colorstay foundation by Revlon. Because I love the original colorstay line I naturally jumped on the Whipped Creme foundation bandwagon. I purchased mine from Walmart for 10.99, but the prices can range from anywhere between 10.99-13.99. Something I found challenging when purchasing this product was determining the color to buy. They come  in a thick glass container which made it difficult to even see the color. Lucky for me, I'm normally one of the lightest shades so I can usually pick the second or third shade in a line and be close enough! I ended up with 220 Nude.

First impressions:
After opening the jar, and revealing the product I was somewhat suprised at the texture. I had expected it to be like Maybelline's dream matte mousse foundation, if you know what I mean.

Revlon Colorstay Whipped Creme Foundation

It has a very thick consistency, like between a creme foundation and a liquid foundation. I was then expecting it to feel heavy and be very full coverage. However, once applied it was very fresh feeling and was more of a medium coverage that was buildable to full coverage. I did still use a concealer over this because it didn't completely cover a few blemishes.

Applying:

One of the only down falls of this product is the packaging. First of it's in a heavy container which is not ideal for traveling. Second, it is a bit unsanitary to be dipping your fingers in the jar everyday, but what are you gonna do. I found the best way for applying this is by dabbing small amounts over my face and then blending it out with my beauty blender. However, I'm sure a foundation brush or fingers would work too.

Long Term Staying Power:

As a side note I have oily skin, so this may differ for people with dry skin. Though I have seen reviews that say it worked well for people with both types. After Wearing this foundation from 6am til 8pm, my face make up had not slide or moved AT ALL. And that is saying something because I have extremely oily skin! Normally After that amount of time I can run my finger down my cheek and completely remove the make up. Nope not with this foundation it was like it was part of my skin! I have been wearing this foundation for about a week and a half and I have not broken out, in fact my skin is looking clearer. Also, I found that it needs an hour or so to set because my skin look even smoother after having it on for a bit. Not that it looked bad at first, but the true finish really comes after it sets. Overall, I would  recommend this product to anyone who wears foundation!

3:30pm driving back from Chicago! still looks flawless

Story Time: 

I wore this foundation to my recent trip down in Chicago. Being the make up junky that I am...I had to stop at Sephora and pick up a few things. When I got the the counter to check out the cashier asked if I had my make up done in the store. When I replied no, she paused and looked puzzled, then continued to say, "wow, well your make up looks really good!" Coming from someone who is around make up all day, I took it as a huge compliment. It pretty much made my day. :)
