Ok, doing another review on this product only in the shade of Coral Reef! I NEVER imagined I could wear this shade so beautifully! It is so bright in the jar, but so very subtle on your skin and very buildable. I had the color of flushed which i liked, but I wanted something a little warmer of a shade. This is a pinky peach coral shade. It looks so natural on the face. This shade is my new favorite! I exchanged the pink one for this, and I'm glad I did. As I said previously on my last post, it doesn't settle in to fine lines or wrinkes, it just sits on the skin and gives a beautiful glow!!! I hope Revlon brings out more shades in these blushes. They last quite awhile on me, all day, but I also wear a makeup primer.Ladies, if you're on the fence about these because they are so bright, believe when I say how sheer they are. I was the first to think that no way can I wear these. But I LOVe the Coral Reef, it gives a natural glow to the cheeks with a beautiful sheer shade that is totally buildable. Revlon did good here, I must say!!!!!!

Primer/ Corrector -Almay - Smart Shade Perfect & Correct Primer

I personally like the primer a lot. It is so lightweight, you don't feel you have it on, unlike some that I have tried! It luminates the skin in such a prettty way. NO sparke like som, it hydrates, but doesn't leave you greasy. Very soothing to the skin. I like the finish it gives. There is a slight odor, nothing terrible, but goes away in a matter of seconds when it dries. I'm not a foundation person, I jusy use primer and blush! I think it helps the blush last longer, i am currently using Maybelline Dream Bouncy blush. Goes on beautifully after primer is applied! It is a little pricey, but I got an awesome deal at Ulta and paid $8.39 for it. Go to Walmart or Target, it's cheaper than a drugstore price! Overall it smoothes the skin, luminates it in a subtle way, and is hydrating and not heavy or greasy! I would recommend this, although people will have their own opinion as to how it works for them. I happen to LOVE it! Thanks, Almay! :)

Blush -Maybelline - Dream Bouncy Blush

I LOVE this blush! I have fair to medium skin, and purchased the Hot Tamale! Don't let the bright shade fool you, this is gorgeous!!!! It stays put all day, and I love the soft glow you get with this. I tried a few of the pink shades, but found them to be just a little too light. I debated whether or not to purchase this shade as I thought it would be too dark. It was the perfect shade for me, and it is buildable without being cakey, and I love the fact that it doesn't sit in your fine lines and pores!!! Maybelline has a winner with this one!!! So much BETTER than the previous Mousse blush!! :) I love the spongy bouncy feel to it also!
