Product Review: Revlon Colorstay Combination/Oily Skin Formula

Hello dearest readers! 
Today's product review in mission to declutter my make up collection will be on the famous drugstore product "Revlon Colorstay" combination/oily formulated liquid foundation. 
A favourite of many (including myself), I will show you guys how great this foundation is for us oily skinned people!


PACKAGING
  • No pump = bummer, but I do have the old packaged one and I do believe they now come with a pump!
  • Glass Bottle
  • Contains 30mls of product

TRIAL

BEFORE APPLICATION 
(freshly washed and moisturized base)



AFTER APPLICATION - ONE LAYER
(no primers used, right side is lightly set with translucent powder)
What I had noticed:
  • Doesn't feel heavy
  • Blend well into the skin
  • Conceals dark cirlces, redness, scarring and pimple (that is on my right cheek... as if you hadn't already notice before)
  • Sets fairly quickly

AFTER APPLYING THE REST OF MY MAKEUP
(no setting sprays)


 FOUR HRS AFTER INITIAL APPLICATION
 What I Had Noticed:
  • Slight oiliness along the left side of my four head (the side that is not set with any powders)
  • Everything still remains concealed - dark under eye circles, redness and pimples/blemishes
  • No signs of fading or creasing with the foundation


SEVEN HOURS AFTER INITIAL APPLICATION
 What I Had Noticed:
  • Equally oily on both sides of my four head
  • Started to crease along my nose and chin area
  • Had creased along the sides of my nostrils
  • Under eye circles are still concealed.


 FINAL THOUGHTS
 Long before this review I was a huge fan of this foundation, it was a foundation that always turned my "bad skin days" into "FABULOUS skin days", a great pick me up when you have something you want to hide. 
Along with an oil controlling primer and a good setting powder (or touch up powder), this foundation will and has done wonders. 
Still a favourite and staple in my foundation drawer and a definite recommend for anyone on the market for an affordable drugstore product with amazing coverage and awesome lasting powder. 
Oh! And did I forget to mention, they have a range that caters to those with dry skin and a HUGE selection of shades? So don't be afraid to check one out for yourself!

DIY 3D Spiderman Party Invitation

My son goes through many different phases. Like any fan girl, once he likes something, he is devoted and obsessed. A couple of years ago it was Woody, last year it was Iron Man, this year it is Spiderman. And just like all those previous years, he wants EVERYTHING covered in his latest love. Shirts, walls, plates, shoes, dear god he even asked his barber to shave spiderwebs into his hair. So what do you think he said when I asked him what theme he wanted his birthday to be this year? You got it! Spiderman! He claimed Peter Parkers thrown, while I was playing Peter Porker trying to organise an intimate and fun Spiderman birthday for my son on a tight budget. This is a DIY tutorial on how I made the invitations for my baby boys 5th Spiderman Birthday Party What you will need: Spiderman Template  Downloadable Template HERE A4 BLACK cardboard A4 RED cardboard A4 BLUE cardboard A4 WHITE cardboard Led Pencil Scissors Double sided foam tape (Available at majority cr...

DIY Macrame Feather Earrings

Image
For the past few weeks I've been trying to expand my knowledge and learn some Macrame art, what were the results? Peacefulness. Honestly, I'd turn on a calming playlist on Spotify and I would spend an hour just tying these knots and creating Macrame art. In the process of learning Macrame I decided to combine my enthusiasm for jewellery making with it. Thus enters this DIY - Macrame feather earrings. Take or leave what you want this tutorial and make this accessory your very own customised piece. What you will need: Twine Pliers Scissors Beads - I chose feathered beads and two black beads Jump Rings Earring hooks  Jewellery wire Step One Cut two lengths of your twine. This will be the spine of your feather, so whatever the height you want your feather to be, double the length and cut. For instance, I wanted the height of my feather to be roughly 6cms, so I cut my pieces at 12cm each.  Step Two Cut twine to the same length of the desired height. ...

Vanessa's 30 Day Self Care Challenge

Image
Hello everyone! If you follow me on my youtube channel ( CLICK HERE ) or any of my social media platforms you guys would know that I am participating in a 30 Day Self-care Challenge. As promised in the previous episodes, here is the dedicated blog post for the challenge. What is the 30 Day Self Care Challenge? A challenge wherein for the next 30 days I do a task solely and completely dedicated to self-care and self-love. Sounds easy? Surprisingly it's actually not. Within days of the challenge you soon realise how much of your day you actually dedicate to yourself. Why am I doing this challenge? It's hard not to answer this question without getting raw. To be honest the last year I had dedicated myself entirely on trying to be the picture perfect mother. I threw all my hobbies and things I was passionate about aside to collect dust so that I could dedicate myself into trying to be a person whom others kept telling me I should be. What happens when you throw your pass...
