My review:

Did you know that Revlon won 9 awards for 2010 Beauty Awards in Australia? *gives applause*

Getting to the point, I generally like the product. But still not enough to make me fall inlove with it.

It has a range of vibrant vivid colors selection. Very pigmented. It also has great staying power. As you can see from the picture, I rubbed it using tissue and then washed my hand twice using hand soap and it stays. The one on my lips stays on during eating and drinking for around 4 hours.

My major drawbacks about the product: it cause dryness and it requires professional tricks to get smooth lustrous result as seen on it's commercial. On my first attempt to applied it decently, I wear nothing under the lipstick and it went clumpy all over my lips. I put another layer to get it distributed evenly, but it just got thicker and looked unnatural. Plus it dries my lips so bad after I took it off from my lips. Then I tried to use some lip balm under the lipstick, brushed it evenly all over my lips using fine lip brush and it went better ( take a note, just better. Not perfect). But still, it got clumpy a little bit. It can be frustrating if you don't have much time to put make-up on or re-touching.

The first shade that I bought is Pink Pout. I thought it would looked like nude pale pink on my lips. Oh, it does look pale. So pale that I looked like a dead person. Adding the fact that the product creates no gloss or shine, it really looked dull on my lips. I really... really... hate the color. Pink About It looked better on me, though the shade is still too much vibrant to my like. I got an eye on Strawberry Suede shade, but I'm just afraid if I would hate the color just like the two I've owned.

Another tips, scrub and moisturize your lips well before using this product. The intense characteristic could magnify fine lines, dead skin cells, etc.

My Review:

I bought the product at a local supermarket without any intentional reason. Just because the price was quite cheap. To be honest, I didn't expect much from such a cheap product at first. But it surpasses all of my expectations and now is becoming one of my favorite beauty products.

The main reason why I love the product is because it is wearable at any situation, any occasion. I wear it sheer on daily basis, I wear it on top of my lipstick on special occasion, it doesn't take much time and effort to put when I'm feeling lazy to put my make up on. It glides like heaven on my lips, delivering enough moisture and sheer color pigments. It also has subtle sweet strawberry scent.

Though, the product wears off easily. It can stay on my lips up to 1-2 hours maximum if I'm not drinking or eating. So it needs to be constantly re-applied ( which is not a very big problem to me since it is so easy to be applied).

I highly doubt that this product is sold outside of Indonesia. Oh well.

- Color:

• Eternal Blossom: Frosty, shimmering pink
  
• Neverending Nude ( Timeless Nude): Solid beige

- Texture: creamy, thick, solid liquid to cream.
- Scent: Smells ( and tastes) like burnt plastic. So awful.

My Review:

This has been one of my favorite products for quite a period of time.

It has everything that it promises. Beautiful glossy colors, great pigments, and decent staying power. The only turn-off is it's strong awful plastic scent.

At first application, the formula feels thick, sticky, tacky, and heavy on my lips. But soon as it dries, the gloss lightly covered my lips and doesn't feel as sticky or heavy as it first applied.

Beware of the scent though ( as a reminder, it also tastes awful). From another reviews that I read before purchasing the product, it was said that the product could cause nausea and minor headache to some people. I, personally, have experienced it several times but not as bad as people said. If you're allergic or strongly dislike intense or chemical-ish scent, than this product is not recommended.

Talking about the staying power, this product could stay up to around 3-4 hours on my lips. When I eat or drink, the gloss fades and creates pretty natural stain. So, eating or not, drinking or not, the gloss still look pretty on my lips. I have nothing to worry about.

So far, it doesn't dry up my lips and I'm not allergic to it.

Characteristic:


















- Color: white
- Texture: solid, thick cream
- Scent: smells very awfully chemical-ish. Camphor and Mentholatum are dominant.

My Review:

First of all, the scent is such a turn-off but it was bearable after around 10 minutes or so. But if you don't like strong scent, than this is not the right product to buy.

The cream gives cooling effect when applied to my face. It feels slippery and it doesn't create foams. When it said, "apply generously", you should really apply the cream generously. Because less wouldn't work ( I always clean my face twice with this product because once is not enough).

It doesn't give me the "squeaky clean" result, but more like "moisturizing clean". So I guess it would work well for those who have dry skin.

I'm not allergic to this product. And I don't know if this is another good effect from using this product, but my skin is getting better. The breakouts seem to dry and my skin is just generally calmed.

The review is not going to be long. This is the best cleansing cream I've tried so far. Much more better than my TSF Apple Vinegar Cleansing Gel Cream.

As you can see, the cream doesn't completely remove my make-up. But I still love the product because it seems to work well on my troubled skin.

What is it?

Provides on-the-go daily prevention and relief from chafing and irritation in intimate, delicate areas like the inner thigh, bikini area, and under arms and breasts.
Non-greasy. Non-irritating. Non-staining.

Why Women Love It:

Here's a summary of what women reported they liked best about Monistat Chafing Relief Powder-Gel as a makeup primer (foundation base).

· Dries to a powder finish.
· Creates a matte surface so makeup glides on and stays on.
· Smooths out large pores, uneven skin tone and blemishes.
· Prevents breakouts.
· Allows for much smoother for eye shadow application on mature skin.
· Keeps make-up looking fresh by locking it in.
· Makes your face look youthful and dewy.
· Helps concealer glide on.
· Doesn't feel greasy.
· Helps mineral make up last longer and look less cakey.
· Makeup stays on for 8+ hours, looking as good as when first applied.
· Excellent mattifier on top of any cream/lotion/sunscreen.
· Fragrance free.
· Non-irritating.
· Non-toxic.
· Non-staining
· Smooths skin texture which reflects light and eliminates shadows (so you look younger)
· Tasteless (if someone kisses your cheek)
· Non-pore-clogging (non-comedogenic)
· Keeps your makeup fresh in 100+ degree heat (great for summer)
· Gentle enough to use every day.
· Softens appearance of fine lines.

Downside and Drawbacks:

· Made by Monistat -- not a name you associate with makeup.
· Doesn't contain sunscreen.
· Often sold out at local stores and hard to find.
· Need to stockpile (get the discount 3-pack available only at Amazon.com)

Why It Works:

The secret ingredient in Monistat Chafing Relief Powder-Gel is dimethicone, which is found in all the high-end foundation/face primers. Dimethicone is a silicone emollient (a skin softener) that forms a silky, breathable barrier between the skin on your face and your foundation.

1. This barrier locks in your moisturizer under your make-up to keep your skin nourished.

2. The dimethicone barrier prevents oils from your skin from breaking through to your foundation. Since the oils can't get through, your skin never looks greasy or oily. No more blotting.

3. While dimethicone prevents oil from getting out, it also prevents your foundation from getting in. This means that your skin won't absorb your makeup so your makeup looks fresh all day, even on hot days. It holds makeup in place so well and for so many hours, many women report that they have stopped powdering their faces, giving their skin a more natural, youthful look.

My Review:

Almost everyone in a forum that I joined have been talking about this product. I was curious and pretty excited about it, I mean... A great primer for such a price? So then I decided to give it a try.

I'd never thought a second to put this on my face if I haven't read all the reviews about how good and cheap this product is as a make-up primer. One thing that assure me more is because it was written in the tube 'The Skin Protectant". It shouldn't do my face any harm, isn't it?

I've been wearing this product everytime I went out of the house for around 2 weeks.

I love how it feels when applied on my face. It glides easily on my face, smoothing out my skin and eliminates shines, providing a good silky matte base to apply my make up on. One thing that I noticed when I washed my hands after applying this gel + foundation is that the foundation gets off easily and the layer of this product repels water from my hands. Same thing happens when I blotted my face, there is foundation on my blotting paper!! I guess this product works well as a barrier to prevent direct contact of foundation to my skin, but it also doesn't make my foundation attached ( if you get what I mean...). Good thing is, the make up stays on as long as I don't blot or wipe...

Using thing, my face is oil-free for around 8 hours ( so I don't see any need to blot anyways...). I use it on top of my face serum and bb cream and under my liquid foundation, yet it doesn't feel heavy or cakey.

Moving on to the cons, I'm getting breakouts from this product. Due to my experience about how this product repels water, I think I might need a good deep cleansing product to remove it from my face.
