Review: Maybelline SuperStay 24hr foundation



Maybellina SuperStay Makeup:
I went back and fourth continously about weather or not I should purchase this foundation. Finally, spur of the moment one day on a trip to CVS I bought it! I tried to match it with the color of my neck, summer is here and my colors of my skin are completely out of control! SPRAY TAN SOON TO COME haha..
Anyway, My first week of usage I LOVED the coverage. Definitely THICK. I kn ew it would be.. it had a MATTE feel..and my oily prone skin after, like, 6 hrs after first application hella crept through especially on my T-zone and under eye/cheek area. AGH! Now, it wasn't as drenched (EW) as when I used the revlon colorstay foundation but I had to blot and then I felt blotchy. IT was drama.
I started to break out bad, due to the fatty foods I had been eating and whatever, and the oil with this foundation did not mix. PlUS, it didn't last because of all of that. UGH!
I did find many ++'s in the concealer! Totally matte, coverage was awesome, long lastiing, buildable. Downfall, totally hard to BLEND. I do love it for my undereye. I'm so confused. MY skin has become a problem. I recently watched Summergarciamusic's video about how she only used concealer and a powder an had flawless looking skin. I was so jealous. Tried to do it..hell no. I think she ahs oily skin, mine is unbearably combination. Once I apply powder it makes my skin SO dry and flakey..WTF!!
I'm at a "F-it" point right now, lol. I started to use my Almay foundation which is what I ALWAYS use to use aside from clinque, then I got tired of the light coverage. But because my skin isn't horribly scared and acne prone and with the help of the maybelline concealer the coveraage it fine and that is what I'm using now. But I still feel helpless.
If anyof ya'll have ANY sort of advice and suggestions to what make-up I can use PLEASE let me know!!
Alright so that was MY review on the foundation for MY skin, overall I'd say this is perfect for normal skin who want a flawless look!

Review(s)


Revlon Colorstay Foundation for Oily/Combination Skin:
Yea...I don't know about this. I've been using for almost a month. Not happy. It hasn't quite reduced my shine. It definitly doesn't apply well with my Essence of Beauty blender brush..I resort to my fingers. Which is much better. I don't like the coverage. It doesn't last me any longer than six hours which is a bust if I'm heading out of town and want to look silky the whole way through. Hmm.. I'm kinda at a loss of words now. That's the gist of how I feel about this product on my skin. I also purchsed the concealer from this line. It's rather watery. Definitely doesn't conceal anything.
What should I try next? Clinique?
Hard Candy Volumnizing Mascara:
Well.. I actually like this item. I've been searching for a color to match my HiP cream liner and this is definitly it! Although, I don't know why they say it's volumizing the wand is definitely for length. At first try I used just this product and applied 3 coats, it clumped. Ack! Second time around I applied this mascara first then one more coat of my Lash Blast volumnizing mascara and it was muuch more workable. I would recommend it.

Review I

Sally Hansen's natural beauty foundation
So I bought this item in early Feburary and shared it in my blog as a Feb. Favie because of the skin color match. I still love how great it matches my color, but I've had other problems with it. When buying this product I noticed there weren't any oil free or for sensitive skin, etc, combos for this product. I was so eager to try it I Was like whatever. When applying it the finish offers a glow, which doesn't suit my skin because I already have a shine, due to my oily-prone skin, and I feel like I need to blot real quick after each application. Another factor, the smell is not lovely. Its a harsh pastey smell. I feel like I shouldn't get too close to my boyfriend because my face might smell lol. The coverage is great tho, near to med-full coverage.I do sleep with my makeup overnight when I'm at my boyfriends (yes bad habit) and I broke out immeditely with this product. It's been killin me..eek!
Overall, for myself, I'd rate this product a 4! I can't deal with the shine and breakouts. But, for normal skin types this might work because of the duey shine it gives as a finish, might very well compliment that normal skin tone. AS for the smell...ehh maybe others wont acknowledge it. I'm eager to try Maybellines new Color Stay foundation or go back to Clinique's foundation, which I used to use all the time, but I'd rather pay drugstore price..err..we'll see.
