Revlon Colorstay Oily/Combination Foundation - Review

Revlon finally made its way to Estonia and the Colorstay foundation has been pretty hyped. Since I've got combination skin right now and I would like the foundation to stay all day, this seemed perfect.



I got the lightest shade Ivory 110 and it was a perfect match for me (finally!!). The first time I applied it with Beautyblender, but that was a big mistake. It got patchy and brought out my skin's texture, didn't look natural at all. By skin's texture I mean that my uneven skin, flakes, acne scars, pores and a few pimples were more defined than without any make-up. Then I put on some powder, made it only worse. But at least it lasted pretty much the entire day on my face.

The second time I used my Real Techniques expert face brush and it blended so much better. But still brought out the texture, stuck to my dry patches and was really sticky. So I let it set for a while and then applied powder. Didn't make it better.

I am disappointed. As this is supposedly one of the best drugstore foundations, it didn't really work for me. It would probably look better when all my blemishes and dry patches are gone. There was less oiliness, but the sticky finish pretty much ruined it for me.

Pros
-long lasting
-many shades
-semi-matte/matte finish

Cons
-stuck to dry patches
-sticky
-emphasizes skin's texture

pHformula A.C. Recovery and P.O.S.T Recovery Cream - Review

Image
So I went to a cosmetologist for the first time in my life to seek help with my acne struggles and well facials alone don't fix the issue. She gave me these two products by a brand called pHformula. This brand's products can only be bought from a professional, who has a license to do their treatments and sell their products. Which means that these products are to support the skin after the treatments and between facials. As my cosmetologist said, the skincare regimen at home is a lot more important than facials, so if you can't afford facial treatments regularly, then invest in your skincare routine. A.C. Recovery is like a treament type of serum. It costs about 61€ and contains tons of acne-fighting ingredients including mandelic acid, niacinamide and salicylic acid. This special formula should help renew and support the skin while recovering. I have been applying this twice a day, at night I pump a tiny pea-sized amount for my entire face and in the morning I jus

Babe Facial Oil-Free Sunscreen SPF50+ Dry Touch - Review

Image
With long-awaited summer approaching, I thought it's only appropriate to write about sun protection. Sun is still extremely harmful for your skin, in case you forgot, and applying SPF daily is recommended for a reason. So if you don't want to look 20 years older in the next 10 years with wrinkles and dark spots, I'd suggest you get on it asap. I religiously apply SPF, so using one that is great for my acne-prone oily skin is of high importance. Babe Facial Oil-Free Sunscreen SPF 50+ Dry Touch  I always opt for and suggest buying SPF from a pharmacy, because most of the products sold are high quality and sensitive enough that they shouldn't cause any issues. This time I decided to try the Babe Facial Oil-Free Sunscreen SPF50+ Dry Touch. This sunscreen is also supposed to be water-resistant, colourant-free, hypoallergenic and dermatologically tested. The formula is enriched with soothing active ingredients and antioxidants (like vitamin E), so your skin should be happy. T

DMK Danne Alkaline Wash for acne scars- MY EXPERIENCE

Went to my regular facial treatment when my cosmetologist turned to me and said "What if we try alkaline wash for your acne scars?". Since my skin has been doing so much better lately and I didn't really have any active acne, so why not try something for my scarring. However this alkaline wash isn't exactly a relaxing treatment. It's gonna take about two weeks for my skin to fully heal, because this alkaline will cause burning sensation and sensitivity. She warned me that I might have to get blisters just like when you burn your skin. So it wasn't the most tempting offer, but I have many acne scars, so might as well try and get rid of them. Also right now is the best time for me as I can stay at home and not show my face. At first I couldn't really tell anything when she applied the alkaline, but later when she moisturized my face, ouch that was painful. For the rest of the day my face was a little tight and slightly red, but nothing too drastic. Few areas
