Another dedication to ki :)

What is it ?

 Experience the dual power of anti-ageing skincare with a natural “no makeup” finish with our lightweight, tinted anti-ageing moisturizer. With super-fine colorspheres to even out your skin tone and the same active ingredients of one of our best anti-ageing moisturizer, Advanced CLA Complex + SPF 15 PA++ for that smooth, natural finish with a luminous radiant glow.

How to enjoy a naturally sheer finish with anti-ageing protection: Apply evenly over thoroughly cleansed face.

Price

Rs. 215 for 30 mL

Available in 3 shades 

1. Sheer Ivory
2. Sheer Rose
3. Sheer Honey

I use sheer Rose (02) But have repurchased it and now using honey(03)

Sheer rose has Pink undertone while Sheer Honey has yellow undertones.Stupid SA fooled me into getting the Rose shade :(

I have combination oily skin and it doesnt make my skin oilier. 

Pros

• Its is a 3 in one product - a sunscreen(has SPF 15),moisturizer and Tinted TM
• No breakout whilst wearing it , so YAY !
• Offers just the perfect coverage,nor too heavy neither too sheer
• Blends like a dream
• Dries up to a dewy finish
• Very versatile-You can apply it using a stippling brush,foundation brush or even your hands
• I sometimes use it to brighten my under eye area and it works !
• I love the price 
• My skin is softer and appears smoother when I use it
• Comes in a tiny cute bottle,very portable 
• the bottle dispenses just the enough product
• Doesn't grease my skin up
• Stay on for a decent amount of time 
• The shade sheer Honey is perfect .

Cons

• May not suit well for people seeking High coverage.Anyway its not a foundation.so it really won't be a con.
• Dry skin fellas might loathe it. But my other Blogger friends with dry skin love it.
• It is NOT a substitute for Sunblock
• Not very long lasting.I have to set it with a powder and be ready for mid-day touchups
• Limited shade selection. 

Will I repurchase ?

Of course .I'm on my second bottle :)

Btw I dropped at Ambience Mall on Saturday.Got my skin checked at Clinique, I have combination-oily skin contrary to what I think .I used to believe I have VERY oily skin .

Also did some shopping at Nine West and Aldo.I got THE killer Black stilettos :D

Revlon Foundation review

         Revlon Colorstay Active Foundation Review 




What it claims :- Tired of your makeup giving out before you do? Revlon has the solution – A light, sweatproof makeup that can keep up with you. ColorStay Active™ Light Makeup provides smooth, natural, light coverage that lasts up to 16 hours. SoftFlex™ formula provides a lightweight, comfortable feel. Makeup is sweat proof, sun proof, and rub-off proof*, even during exercise. Designed for all skin types. Oil-free. Non-pore-clogging. Non-irritating. SPF 25.

*Will not rub off with normal use

                                                                                                                    


Price :- 595 INR for 30 mL




Pros:-

• Lasts long enough ( 5-6 hours on me )
• Covers blemishes quite well
• Has SPF 25 ( Dont matter to me , coz to reap benefits you must apply 1 teaspoon and believe me , thats a hell lotta stuff !)
• I would say its Rub, water and swear RESITANT
• Matches my skin decently ( I have this is medium beige)
• My skin does look flawless when I apply it.Great for evening out skin tone and covering slight blemishes.
• Oily and combination skin fellas with fairly decent skin will like it 

Cons :-

• Very thick for my taste
• Gives a cakey finish , Not the most user friendly foundation. You will need to do lot of blending to make it look like second skin
• Dries pretty quickly and may prove difficult to blend
• Limited shade range , unlike its big brother (Orignal Colorstay )
• Not the best foundation for acne prone skin
• Dry skin will find it terrible
• Gives a white cast when used with fingers
• Has tendency to cling on pimples . YUCK !

OVERVIEW :-
Its an OK-ish foundation . I do love the fact that it makes my skin look good but the cons outweight the pros :(  I have it since a year and to be very frank , I didnt like it when I was on my breakout spree . It did nothing to make my skin look good , in fact it accentuated the dryness , made my blemishes look grey and I had every reason on this earth to dislike the foundation. But few days back , prior to my review , I decided to give this one last chance and Voila ! It aint half as bad .
Would recommend to ladies with Oily - Normal combination skin who seeks medium coverage.


                     



Application :- Moisturize your face well. There should not be any dry areas or the foundation will cling. Squeeze out the desire amount on the back of your hand .Now spray some rose water on your Blush brush ( I use Vega's) , Dip it in the foundation and use desired amount on your face , dabbing and swirling. This technique is very similar to airbrushing ( in layman's term , airbrushing is putting numerous tiny dots on a skin untill the you can't diffrentiate the foundation from skin )
This technique is also called stippling brush method. I stipple then buff with a big powder brush and then set it with a translucent powder.




The process is very tedious, I know. but for 595 INR , I was determined to make it work :D


Repurchase :- Hell NO . Cant devote 10 minutes on applying the foundation !!


Sorry , Not being very regular with the posts .But my life is haywire , busy with entrance and classes . Will be a good gurl and post more often after I secure my place in some good institute :P
Till then , 
Mwah ;)
