Liquid -Revlon - ColorStay Active Light Makeup SPF 25 ] [DISCONTINUED]

This a thinner, sheer version of the regular colorstay. It is a dewy finish that is very sweatproof indeed and looks completely natural.

The shades are extremely linited and it does not blend well. It looks like a orange or white spot on the face no matter how hard you try to blend. NOT a good concealer by any means.

This is EXTREMELY sheer. Much more sheer than a tinted moisturizer, even. It should not be marked as a foundation for any means. It is not pigmented enough at all.

This is a very good mascara. It is quite indeed smudge proof and also washes off easily. Good thinking, Maybelline.

Wonderful! The "light shade" is truly a PPP shade and it looks so natural and real on the face. Not chalky or cakey at all.

MUCH better than the loose version, which is not good at all.

Yet another disappointment from Pro Activ. This did not do anything at all for my acne. In fact, I have noticed that I am getting much larger and way more blackheads than usual using this this past month and my skin is still very, very, very broken out. I do not recommend.

FRIED my face to the point that it bled in places. I will never use again. Benzoyl Peroxide products (eg neutrogena) have never done this to me before. Truly, this is a crappy product.

LOVE IT! It made my natural medium red hair DEEP crimson and soooo wonderfully bright red. I used shade Bright Auburn Blonde and like I said, I LOVE IT! The conditioner stinks, though, so a lippy off for that :P

Works very well. I use it for creme foundations and regular liquid foundations. I cannot use it, however, for my HG colorstay because the colorstay tends to set before I can blend it in completely with the brush. BUT, this is great for other, non-ultra matte foundations that don't set in the 60 seconds ;)

Pressed Powders -Sonia Kashuk - bare minimum pressed powder in chiffon
ben228 4/19/2007 3:17:00 PM
OMG, I cannot believe it! A shade of powder that matches my extreme PPP (yellow-neutral based, mind you) skin tone! I keep looking in the mirror with this on and thinking that I look too pale, but in reality it just matches my skin perfectly. I now have a pale face to match my pale neck and body instead of a orange or pink face and a pale body. I am so pleased. I apply this over my foundation and then put some L'Oreal Translucide powder on over to sparkle a bit, as this powder is very matte. Like I said, I am SOOOOOOOOO pleased :)

I have very pale skin in the winter and this in N 123 is the only concealer that I can get that will match me well.
