Revlon Colorstay Active Light Makeup foundation-review, swatches

Hi dear lovelies

Many of my readers have asked me several times to review the Colorstay foundation that I've been using in most of my makeup looks so today I decided to write about my favorite liquid foundation. You would be surprised to know the fact that earlier I didn't use any foundation but when I started to use it it was only Rimmel liquid foundation,Chambor stick & liquid foundation and I was quite satisfied with them but this time I decided to buy this foundation for some reasons. First I wanted a change in my foundation range & brand and secondly I had heard a lot about this foundation. My blogger friend Anju suggested me to try this one. According to her this foundation is much better than Mac studio Finish foundation so these were the reasons I picked up this foundation.

What Revlon ColorStay Active claims

Sweat proof. Light coverage and all skin types

What it does?

Gives you light, sweatproof coverage with SPF 25 that keeps up with your active lifestyle.

How it works?

Exclusive ColorStay formula sweatproof and breathable for fresh all day look that won’t rub off even after exercise.

How to get the look

Apply in one area at a time, blending quickly. It is oil free. Non- pore clogging. Non irritating.

Key Ingredients:

Octinoxate, Titanium dioxiode, Zinc Oxide, Cyclomethicone , Aloe Barbadenis Leaf Juice.

Packaging:

This foundation comes in a squeezy tube, which is pretty ok with me, I would much rather have a squeezy tube or a compact cream foundation than a glass bottle which be difficult to carry about. This tube is so easy to take out any where and even it’s so easy to take it out for applying. There is no fear of the foundation getting wasted. No fear of breaking which is always prevalent in the bottle packaging.

In the mirror of my own experience:

I always like a light weight foundation which makes me feel natural. This foundation has provided me the same feeling that I've wanted. I apply this with my finger tips in dots all over my face then blend it with my fingers, it applies very easily and looks natural. I love that it doesn't dry out or look cakey on my skin, which many foundations tend to. I think this would work for oily skin too since it stays on and does not transfer. It gives a very soft and pearly finish to my skin and even sometimes I don’t need to apply a compact powder especially in winters. It matches with my skintone very nicely. This stuff is supposed to provide "smooth, radiant, light coverage that lasts up to 16 hours even during exercise with SPF 25 as it claims. Although I never do exercise with in makeup but if I do I’m sure it would work surely because the lasting power of this foundation is amazing.

Good points

It has a silky texture. Can be applied equally well with foundation brush or fingers. I use a brush to place, fingers to blend.

It has a natural, semi matte finish. Great for Normal skin; even can be a little for combination, oily and dry too. Dry skinned girls can apply it with thick moisturizer and they don’t need to touch a compact powder.

It gives a perfect glow to my skin making it flawless and radiant. The glow clearly can be seen on the skin.

It has amazing lasting power. On my skin, 10 to 12 hrs without powder before fading, 14-16 hrs with powder. Isn’t that amazing??

SPF 25 is just awesome!!

It’s so light weight and you can apply it daily for out going out and for offices. The decent lasting power make you tension free.

The product is worth the price.

Bad points

It comes only in 4 shades which is not enough for everyone. The shades should have been more.

Revlon Colorstay liquid eyeliner-Review, Swatches&pics

You can call me a big Revlon fan,and if you’re a regular reader of COB you would surely have noticed a great lot of Revlon cosmetics in my makeup looks. But I had never tried its liquid eyeliner because I was quite satisfied with my Colorbar and Loreal eyeliners. Eyeliners are an essential part of makeup, especially for me!! In my opinion, my eyes can not become much noticeable without eyeliner. I don’t like applying kohl and I prefer eyeliners. Whenever I do makeup an eyeliner on the eyes is the must for me.

Anyways let's come to the point guys and today I’m reviewing my favorite liquid eyeliner: Revlon Colorstay Liquid Liner-Black Beauty which has become an essential part of my makeup kit.

Net weight-

2.5ml

Price-

Rs 550

My experience-

Earlier I wasn't a fan of waterproof liquid liners as I found it too hard to remove them. But then I thought of experimenting and bought this liner and after using only once, I became a fan of this liner. You can see this in most of my makeup looks. I’m not an expert in makeup but this liner has made eye makeup quite easy for me. The only thing which bores me is removing this with almond oil but now I’m used to it.I’m not going to change my eyeliner after this. This will be a part of my makeup kit forever.

Good points-

It’s so easy to tote around and allows for easier application to line the eyes. I have to only shake it and then apply. It gives me instant beauty to my eyes.

Colorstay technology allows wear for up to 16 hours! And it totally does for me, I can wear this all day and it still looks just as fresh!

Revlon Colorstay Liquid Liner is easy to make thin and thick lines as you wish! The formula glides so smoothly on the skin!

It’s tip gives a nice soft thin or thick line, as well as giving me a better control to be able to line the eyes smoothly and evenly, dispenses the right amount of product to eliminate mistakes!

You can get the right amount of shade that you require.

It doesn’t has any smell. Gives lovely and clear finish to the eyes.

Great to everyday use especially for office going ladies. No tension of smudging.

The swatches...see how pigmented it is-

Bad points-

Oh no…none.

Rating-

4.75/5

Overall verdict-

I’m an avid fan of Revlon Colorstay range like the foundation, concealer, compact mineral compact, eyeliner, pencil liner, blush etc. This eyeliner is the best that I’ve used till date and I would surely purchase it again and again!!!

Will I recommend it-

Yes of course!! If you require something worth the price this is it.

So ladies, what do you think about this liner?? Have you tried it...which other liners do you prefer??

My FIRST GIVEAWAY

Revlon Colorstay eye liner- review, swatches, photos

I love to apply eyeliner on my eyes but I always hesitated to use pencil eyeliners because I used to think that it doesn’t show much on my eyes but I applied them on my waterline. When I bought Revlon Colorstay eyeliners I learned how to make my eyes attractive without liquid eyeliner. I bought in two shades first in black and other in gray. It’s available in 8 different shades


.

Today I’m writing about Revlon Colorstay eyeliner in Gray.

The shade-

The color is pretty much exactly the color of the cap: A dark gray with a bit of metallic sheen.
My experience-

I’m not fond of applying colorful eyeliners on my eyes. I’m very simple person in my real life. This eyeliner is perfect for me because the color of this is very natural gray and the metallic sheen doesn’t show after applying on the eyes so it does a very good job of defining my eyes.

My eye’s color is light brown so metallic gray shade gives a pretty effect on my eyes. I can go anywhere applying only two swipes of this on my eyes and it can define the eyes very well. Sometimes I have even applied black one on the top and this one at the bottom and I have got a very soft look which I love.

The tip

Some points why I love this eyeliner-

I love the packaging, very light weight very cute in handling.

It’s much pigmented. Gray is usually a light shade but it shows clearly on my eyes.

I love staying power of this eyeliner. I can forget about it after applying because it’ll stay even on my waterline all day. I don’t have any issues with smudging. The pencil is creamy, so you can smudge it, but work quickly because it sets quickly.

I think this is the only eyeliner that stays even when applied on my waterlines.

It doesn’t break easily. Defines my eyes very quickly.

The price seems reasonable after using this magical liner.

Price- I think it was somewhere around Rs 300- 450. Sorry

The swatches-

Have a closer look-

Some points why I don’t love this eyeliner-

I have heard that over time these pencils dry and become hard and brittle making it impossible to apply. I don’t know till now about this fact because right now it’s perfect eyeliner for me.

One complains about the cap. I think if the cap clicked on better/tighter it would have helped more.

Will I purchase it again?

Sure I’m going to buy a brown one too.

Will I recommend this eyeliner?

Yes, if you are a fan of pencil eyeliners, you should definitely try it.

Rating of this eyeliner- 4.50/5

So pretty girls, if you have used this cute and lovely eyeliner, share your opinions with me. It’ll be a very nice experience. Thanks
