APPLICATION

Lately, I've been mixing about 1/3 Maybelline SuperStay Foundation in 120 Sand Beige with about 2/3 REVLON ColorStay Foundation for Combination/Oily Skin in 330 Natural Tan. (I've stopped using the self-tanner that I reviewed a couple posts back--not because I didn't like it, but because I just wanted to test it out and use it at a later date--so the 330 Natural Tan is a bit dark for me currently.) Mixed together, these two foundations create a shade similar to REVLON ColorStay in 240 Medium Beige. (I'd just go ahead and purchase the 240 Medium Beige shade, but I don't have money to spend on foundation right now. lol. Long story. So, for now, I'm learning how to mix!)

I've used Maybelline SuperStay for a few months now (not mixed with anything else), and it does leave a bit of a dewy finish on my face and can look a tiny bit caky at times if you apply too much. REVLON ColorStay is supposed to be a matte foundation, so naturally, when I combine the SuperStay with the ColorStay, I still get a pretty matte finish!

However, I have used the ColorStay in 330 Natural Tan shade by itself when I was tan...and I loved it. My review will be based on how the ColorStay foundation applies and wears by itself--not with it mixed with another foundation.

I apply my liquid foundations with a flat-top brush, working from the inside of my face to the outside/toward my hairline. Then I use a translucent powder and a fluffy brush to set it.

Mini Haul | Drugstore & a 'LUSH'ous Surprise!

This mini drugstore haul is dedicated to my lovely mother. ❤
A week or two ago I went to Target to pick up a few items for my momma. She refuses to buy any of the higher-end drugstore products for herself because she feels that she's taking money away from the rest of the family. So, I took my time and my money to go get a few things for her. Also, I recently placed a LUSH order and decided to get her a shower smoothie to try. Mom has always been a fan of all-natural products, so I just knew she'd love receiving one of LUSH's vegan items!

Needless to say, I am incredibly excited to give her these items tomorrow!
