Review: Revlon PhotoReady Foundation

Search Amazon.com for revlon foundation

I got this foundation last August and this may be a late review to post since this has been out last year (I think). Why the late purchase? First of all, it was just last August that Revlon released all of the shades here in the Philippines. I think the darkest shade was Cool Beige which was too light for me. So when I saw that Golden Beige is available at Landmark, I didn't hesitate to try it. I think with the reviews that I read, this one got 50-50 opinions, some people love it, some people hate. And it's all because of the shimmers. I'm not fond of shimmers all over my face but I took the risk and bought this foundation. Some even say it's a dupe for MUFE HD Foundation which I don't like by the way and ended up reselling it. :P

How Do I Store My Makeup?

Ever since me and my son temporarily moved back to my parents house, I needed to make some adjustments since I've been out of their house for 5 years. One of those was "space". My eldest sister was kind enough being the ate that she is to lend her room to me and my son. Her room is big enough for one person but since our stuff mixed with her stuff, the room became smaller. I needed to fit our stuff without getting in the way. I needed to fit my makeup in a small space because I cannot occupy the whole dresser. So here's what I found on my frequent trips to the Daiso and department store. You will notice the main color is blue because I don't want my little guy to see a lot of pinks. It's bad enough he sees my makeup so I keep it on the low down.

This my so-called "beauty tower"

FOTD: Drugstore and mini-review

I started using makeup 7 years ago when I got my first job. I remember I only had a Ponds compact foundation and a Maybelline lipstick. I will use my lipstick as a blush as my mom thought me. lol. That's it and I was happy with that. Two years ago, I got hooked on Maybelline cosmetics and that's all I used until You Tube came a year later then discovered beauty bloggers. My eyes was open up to high-end makeup. But no matter how I'm enjoying high -end makeup, I still miss and go back to drugstore makeup. Mainly because the price is cheaper and it works for me.

Battle of the Pink Lips

Maybelline Color Sensational in Warm Me Up and Born With It; MAC's Angel, Pink Nouveau, and Gaga

Either some girls love nudes or pinks or even both. I'm the typical girl that loves pink lipstick because I still cannot carry nude lips without looking dead. I think I need more practice with smokey-eyes inorder to pull-off nudie doodie. :P
