Milani recently released this new foundation:

I got the shade 07 Sand from my local super Walmart and it's a 100% match :) for about $9.99

I don't use full coverage foundations often. I've had about 3 of them in the past but usually I'm on the go or playing sports and that doesn't require full coverage. 

However, I was interested in this foundation because of it's waterproof and sweat-proof claims. I work at a pool and the Maybelline BB cream works excellent but it will eventually wear off so I was curious as to what this foundation's staying power was.

I am certainly impressed with this foundation! It last 4 hours in the pool when teaching swimming lessons and putting my face in the water continuously. When doing lap swimming back and forth across the pool it lasts for awhile but when getting out I notice there is still coverage but it's only slight. It wears down nicely though and doesn't make me look like I'm melting in the water.

Gym proof: I don't really like wearing foundation to the gym because sweat + makeup = possibility for acne. I put this foundation to the test several times and it held up; but when wiping sweat away the foundation will come off as well.

It's currently my go to foundation for going out all day and for special occasions/going out at night with the girls. It's literally no fuss and I don't have to worry about it coming off my face. 

It does look a little dewy but the key point is to NOT use alot of product. The more product you use the shinier and greasier you will look. I recommend using a sponge because it kinds of shears out the product so you just look dewy but still have that full coverage.

As for the concealer claim: it will completely get rid of the small imperfections/blemishes on your face. For under-eye blue circles it will try it's best but ultimately you will need to use another concealer on top of that.

Hope that helps :)

Revlon Photoready BB Cream Medium

Alright so here are my thoughts on the Revlon Photoready BB Cream. This is my second tube so I do like this product a lot. I usually don't wear full foundation make-up just because I don't like that feeling of having a ton of product on my face. I am use to wearing mineral loose powder foundation when my face needs that extra pick me up. But during the summer time I highly recommend something light on your face that you really don't have to worry about. 

This product really does help even out skin tone issues. I saw a much more even complexion after I applied the product. It was easy to apply, and I didn't have to use a brush with it to create the perfect look.

 This is what the tube looks like, sorry mine looks dirty. You get 30 mL of product, and I would say this lasts me about 3-4 months before I need to buy another one or try out a new "foundation-like" product.

 Here is a thick layer of what the BB cream looks like. I got a little carried away here, so don't worry I wiped some off.

Here I rubbed the product in with my hands. You can kind of see where the product is.

The only problem I have: is that Revlon only has 3 shades, so if I get too dark I have to warm up the BB cream with some bronzer so my face looks like the rest of my body.
