Hey There,
Product:
I have combination skin that is prone
to pimples at the slightest change. I used to get pimples every time I try a new scrub, new
cleanser, new blush and what not. I am always irritated about this because, the
moment I wear make up for some special occasion, the very next day my skin will
be a battle ground.
After serious understanding of my skin
(will put a separate post on how I controlled my breakouts). I started slowly
experimenting with makeup. I was looking for a daily wear mild foundation that
is good to my skin and at the same time doesn't burn a hole in my then student
pocket.
Lakme’s liquid foundation and the
daily wear one broke me out terribly and I bought the one from Revlon. Read on
to know more about the performance of Revlon’s Moisturizing Makeup.
Name of Product: Revlon Touch and Glow
TM Moisturizing Makeup.
Quantity: 20 Ml.
Price: Rs. 215/- but I got it for Rs.
200/-
Shades Available: Ivory Mist, Rose Mist, Natural Mist and Golden
Mist.
Shade I Got: Ivory Mist.
What Revlon Claims: A Light Water
based Moisturizing makeup for a naturally radiant finish.
Key Ingredients: Titanium Dioxide,
Butylene Glycol, Talc, Lanolin Alcohol.
My experience:
Packing:
This product comes in a Transparent
glass bottle with a screw cap. There is no stopper or nozzle attached to the
opening and the screw cap is of no good. I had a bad experience when I put in my
bag and the product had come off out despite the fact that it was screwed
tight. And hence it’s not travel
friendly.
Product:
The product is of runny consistency
and as there is no stopper, it at many times flows out in large quantities when
I try to take it out resulting in product wastage.
I got my perfect shade in Ivory Mist
even though the product has just 4 shades to choose from. The product does not
give full coverage and does not claim to give either. It covers mild blemishes
and somewhat evens out the skin tone and imparts a mildly shiny glow. It does
not irritate my skin. The product due to its runny texture is easily
spreadable. We need to be careful about the quantity used because; more
quantity results in weird oily look.
The product, if set with a powder
stays on for around 4 hours after which certain parts of the face gets oily.
As for the moisturizing claim, I don’t
seem to be pretty impressed. As I always wear a moisturizer beneath it, I am
okay with it.
If we are applying the product in dots
over the entire face and neck and then blending it, we need to be swift as they
kind of dry fast and it gets difficult to spread them.
Overall, it’s a good product for daily
use if you are not looking at full coverage etc. It gives a nice shiny finish
to the face. If you are a matte person then this is definitely not for you.
Swatch:
Blended:
Now summing up its pro’s and con’s.
Pro’s:
1. Does not irritate or break out the
skin.
2. Gives a nice glow to the face.
3. The shade Ivory Mist is a true
match to my skin tone.
4. Easily spreadable.
5. Evens out the skin tone.
5. Nice not so overpowering fragrance.
6. Does not make the face look scary
in photographs.
7. Affordable.
Con’s:
1. After some time face looks oily.
2. Cap is of no use. Not travel
friendly.
3. Dries out fast so needs swift
blending.
4. Not long lasting and comes off in
tissues when we try to blot the oil, making it inappropriate for office goers
who hate touch ups.
Will I repurchase?
Now I use the lotus purestay one and I have
the habit of having another foundation just in case. As this one matches my skin tone perfectly, I might repurchase this
one as a back up foundation.
Will I recommend?
Yes to college girls who needs a
decent pocket friendly product.
Love,
