REVLON?!

I have spent so much money over the years on Revlon products and although many people love Revlon (especially ColorStay) I just find I cannot find any good products.

  • The Hair Dye: It is SO drying and damaging to your hair, at most drugstores it's only $3 and that's how you get suckered in! The color barely shows up and it smells terrible. It is so cheap and not worth it. 
  • The Mascaras: Most of them are extremely clumpy. I've tried the double twist and it does nothing but clump your lashed. Grow luscious really doesn't do much for me, I used an entire tube and saw no growth in my eyelashes, to me it's just a waste. I've ALSO tried the double ended one with a primer in the blackest one they had, it added no volume, little length, and made them grey. 
  • The Lipstick: Comes in a nice range of shades and they're really creamy. I just don't like how they tend to bleed outside your lip line, get on your teeth and settle in lines on your lips. However, I have Soft Nude and Raspberry and the color payoff of both is very nice and it has buildable color.
  • The Lipgloss: The lipglosses aren't that bad, they are just a little too sticky and not long lasting. BUT the colors are really good and I love the ones I have (Peach Petal, Firecracker, and Pink Whisper)
  • The Foundation: Color stay foundation doesn't break my skin out and I like that but it smells so weird, doesn't give much coverage (yet is hard to get off my skin) and can set sort of powdery. PLUS Photo Ready is a joke, it sets EXTREMELY powdery, and really didn't make much of a difference in pictures to me. The photo ready powder and foundation also is all glitter.
  • Eyeshadows: Cream shadows crease and the eyeshadow quads have poor pigmentation and can be hard to blend.
I hate to borderline trash Revlon, it may work for a lot of people but I have invested so much money in their products and very few have worked for me.

.5 stars out of 5 (and it's just for the lip products)

*this is only my personal opinion, everyone may view this product differently
