Perfect Summer shadow!

I am in love with these creme shadows! Summer time isn't the time to be packing on the heavy colors for a day out at the park, beach, wherever so these creme shadows from Revlon are the perfect thing! A little tinted moisturizer, creme blush, lil mascara, lip gloss and these creme shadows and you're good to go! You will have the perfect bronzed, sheen look that everyone will envy! I bought the quad kit in Skinlights and it's perfect. The colors are not very pigmented so if your expecting that you will be disappointed. But if your wanting a light sheen (not shimmer) then this quad kit is for you! I found mine at Walmart for $4.99 so the price is reasonable too. You just swipe the pot with your finger to warm it up and then lightly spread it across your lid. If you have a hard time blending then cremes are for you! You will master the look of blending with these. I've heard some reviews state that creme shadows are not the way to go if you have oily eyelids (which I have) but I've found the easiest way to prevent this from happening. If you crease easy, just swipe your finger across your lid throughout the day and it will deposit the color back in the right places! That's the beauty of cremes and oily eyelids. We can wear it too! :) ( I also dab a little face powder over the creme shadows for more staying power. I use a big face brush to do it, just tap it on the eyelid don't rub it on).

Can you tell I'm excited about this?? I'm going to get more colors now that I know I love them! So stay tuned to see what I think about the other color kits. There are many different ones to choose from, from very earthy natural to bright spring colors. Here is a link to Revlon's website so you can check out all of the different colors they have. --------> http://www.revlon.com/Revlon-Home/Products/Eyes/Eye-Shadow/Revlon-Illuminance-Crème-Shadow.aspx

 As always check with Amazon for great discounts before you make your purchase. You can also use these as a base before powder shadows or as a highlight on your cheekbones (the lighter shades anyway). It's great for the teen that's experimenting with makeup as it goes on so lightly or for the woman who just likes a little something.

 I couldn't be happier with this drugstore purchase! If you have any of these or you go out and buy any, let me know what you think about them.

Be blessed and bronzed Always!! :)

Revlon ColorStay Aqua Mineral Makeup

This powder is amazing! When you apply it with the compact foundation brush (which is so fabulous) you get a cooling effect and super great coverage. If I'm being honest I use this as a powder finish not a foundation. I put on either my Revlon photo ready foundation or my Maybelline Fit foundation and then finish with this powder. It has coconut water instead of oils so it's great for any skin type! The finish is so natural so there is no powder feeling or look at all. The cooling effect is beyond cool too. I love combining the foundation I use with this because it really covers my pores and other imperfections without looking "done up". It doesn't have a smell either and I clean all my brushes, including this foundation brush, once a week so I don't have to worry about the germs building up on them. (side note-cleaning your brushes weekly will reduce breakouts and such)

Here is what the website says about it:

NEW Colorstay Aqua™ Mineral Makeup delivers a burst of hydrating coconut water and an instant cooling sensation upon application. The result: your skin looks luminous and its texture smoother. With a shine-free formula that’s made with water, not oil, this lightweight powder gives you a fresh, flawless finish that lasts all day.

Fragrance free and non-irritating.

Provides medium coverage in 8 beautiful shades, with SPF 13 protection

Here are a couple more pictures I've found that shows the brush along with the powder:

I give this a 5 out of 5. The coverage is great, the cooling sensation is way cool, it stays on all day, and doesn't cake up or get oily! Let me know if you use this as a foundation or a finish and if you like it as much as I do!

Be blessed!
