The Best and Worst of Revlon | Foundation

Hello There!

Today I thought I would tell you about two foundations- one great, one not so great. While Revlon has some amazing products, every brand has it's hits and misses. 

For me, foundations are the most important beauty product. I have oily, acne prone skin, and Revlon Colorstay is the ultimate foundation for me. I have never found a foundation that has beaten it, and, even though I have not tried many high end foundations, I don't feel the need to. It's full coverage, and lasts all day! I have long school days and hours of vigorous exercise. So you know when a foundation is long lasting when it lasts through over four hours of exercise and a long school day. It's nuts! I have never felt like I have needed to touch up my foundation, and I only have to blot my face once a day, which for me is fantastic.

On the other hand, Revlon Custom Creations is one of the worst foundations I have ever tried. It is thin and gives light coverage that is not build able. The "gimmick" that made me buy this foundation is that it has a dial and two different shades of foundation in one bottle, so you can turn the dial to match your skin color at any time of the year. The idea is that you only need one foundation for the whole year! The problem is that this product slides off my face. I don't know how it works on other skin types, but for me it was awful and it looked like I hadn't put on foundation by the end of the day. I absolutely hated it. 

Overall, if you want a foundation that is going to last all day, Revlon Colorstay is the foundation for you. It has options for dry and oily skin, so every skin type can get a foundation that is beautiful and long-lasting. Plus, they are both the same price! So skip the BB Cream- like foundation and get something that glides on like a dream, that will give you long-lasting coverage, and that looks flawless and lovely.

What's your favorite, go-to foundation?

Some Unknown Youtubers! || A Chatty Post

Hello There!

Today I thought I would share some Youtubers that I think deserve more attention. They work really hard, are funny and talented, and generally lovely, and I can't believe that they don't have more subscribers.

Emotistyle::

This hilarious duo called Molly and Shamika do fashion videos once a week. They answer subscribers' questions with funny, fashion-forward responses. I think they are really great because their style is very edgy, and they push the boundaries on new and trendy fashion. If you are looking for new fashion inspiration, then these are the girls for you. Plus their videos are not super long, so I never get bored with their films. 

Grav3yardGirl::

Bunny (yes, that's her real name) is so weird and funny, and I love her so much. She makes me feel okay about being so crazy. She has such a cool style, and loves to shop at thrift stores too! She does any type of video, from beauty to fashion and just about everything in between. She is very "real" on camera, which is so refreshing compared to some of the other beauty gurus here on Youtube. 

NikkieTutorials::

I think I have talked about Nikkie before, but she is a funny girl who has the cutest (swedish?) accent. She is a professional makeup artist who is only 18! What I love is that she always does different tutorials, and doesn't just show a million neutral tutorials. If you are in a makeup rut, then this beauty guru will show you original looks that are inventive and fun. 

EmilyNoel83::

Whenever I need to know about a product or want a recommendation, I always look to Emily. She has so much makeup, so she has a wide range of knowledge on loads of products. I love that she describes, in detail, each product, with pros and cons, and everything that someone would need to know before buying a product. She does tutorials, reviews, and has a blog as well.

GlamorousGaby1::

I love Gaby. She is so lovely and works so hard on her videos. She is one of my closest friends in the real world too! She has a chic and fabulous fashion sense, and she has just begun to do makeup and hair tutorials as well. 

Go and subscribe to these lovely ladies! They are all wonderful and deserve more recognition. 

What Youtuber do you think deserves a little more TLC?

Fall Flair: Autumn Trends!

Hello There!

As the colder seasons set in, the new trends are popping up just about everywhere. So I thought I would share some of my favorite trends that are very popular this year. Unless you have been in a cave for the past few months, you will know that the color of Autumn is "oxblood." That and burgundy are extremely trendy and beautiful colors as well. This trend, among others, are some that I am really excited to wear this season. While you can spend buckets of money on designer pieces, buying something trendy that may only be stylish for a season feels better on your wallet when it's from a discount shop or the drugstore. So I thought I would show you some clothes, accessories, and some makeup too.

Oxblood/ Burgandy::

Nail Polish- I have two burgundy/ oxblood polishes that I just love. One is a classic shade, but the other polish is the fall trend with a twist. I love them both, so I thought they would both be great options for the colder seasons. I talked about all things Oxblood in a post that I will link here.

Galaxy::

Jewelry- This trend has recently been opting up places, but I really like it. It's a cool pattern, although sometimes I find it can be a bit overwhelming. So I think these earrings are cool because it's a little pop of pattern and "flair." They are slightly more expensive, but the color scheme is classic, so I think even when this trend is over the piece can still be worn.

Riding Boots::

You guys know I love boots. And you know I love my new Jeffrey Tyler riding boots. I have talked about them before in "The Winterlicious Tag" and my birthday wish list. I have worn them almost everyday with everything. Ridding Boots have always been trendy, but this season they are more popular than ever. They are sleek and chic and lovely.

Large Faced Watches::

Large faced watches are so chic, and can give any outfit a very "put-together" vibe. They has been a lot of hype around the Michael Kors watches. While they are beautiful, they may not be in some people's price range. I found a few less-expensive options from Fossil that is still a splurge but might be in just about everyone's budget. I am particularly fond of this one:

The Cat Wing::

This liner look is very big for the fall and winter. I love the sophisticated look it gives, and how little time and work it takes! It does take a bit of practice to get it right, so here are some eyeliners that make it a little easier.

Jordana Fabuliner- $2.99 

NYX The Curve- $12.99

Urban Decay 24/7 Waterproof Liquid Liner- $19.00

Nails::

I have a long list and a video too about my top 10 favorite nail polishes for the fall and winter, which I will link here. It has quick descriptions and in-depth swatches so you can really see the colors.

I hope this post helped give you the lowdown on all the trends for this season. I am so excited to jump into the colder months, and these pieces will get me in the autumn mood. Plus, you could ask for some of these things for the holidays too!

What are some of your favorite autumn and winter trends?
