ReplyDeleteAnother great vid, Elle:)
Great post! I love seeing what other peoples favourite foundations are :)I love the Colourstay for oily skin, haven't tried the whipped one yet!
ReplyDeleteThese sound great! I would love to try the Neutrogena Healthy Skin blend.
ReplyDeleteI love Bare Essentials, but these look good too. I'm always in the market for something new!
ReplyDeleteI love neutrogena products, they always feel so natural.

I LOVE Wet N Wild foundation. You can't beat the price and it works really well.
ReplyDeleteColor stay sounds like a winner. I'll have to grab a few bottles my next trip back!

Elle! That is nice to know about Revlon Color Stay. I have been using a Maybelline dry wet foundation for years which I love, but have wondered about Revlon. Hmmmmmmm? We shall see.
ReplyDeleteThanks for rounding up! Revlon definitely has some great drugstore foundations. I also like Maybelline's DreamEffects mousse (or whatever its called lol). It feels super awesome and does great coverage.
ReplyDeleteI love Lumi! It's my favorite drugstore foundation at the moment! The Revlon foundations both broke me out, but then again I have oily-acne prone skin. Great post!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could say I have a favorite foundation but I have yet to find one I am completely satisfied with. Maybe I need to try some of the ones you suggest.

Revlon is my favorite brand of drugstore cosmetics. I haven't found a product I don't like from them. I've never used their foundation. Maybe I'll have to check it out. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteMy oily/acne-prone skin actually does not do well with liquid foundation, so I use mineral/powder foundation instead. Right now I'm using one from Clinique because it has been the kindest to my skin : ) I have read a lot of other bloggers who really like the Revlon Colorstay line
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Loreal True Match! I have been using it for a few months now and am VERY happy!
ReplyDeleteHi Elle, i just did a foundation post myself, lol. The Revlon Colourstay bases are really great! thanks so much for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteI love the revlon whipped.
ReplyDeleteI want to try the Revlon Whipped!
ReplyDeleteI'm addicted to MAC, but I might have to try one of these :)
ReplyDeleteI love the Revlon ones, but I've been wanting a lightweight one so I might try your suggestion with the neutrogena one! :)

I've always wondered about the whipped foundation. It looks so light and not as thick as some foundations. Thanks for the recommendations!
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried any of these! And since I'm looking for a foundation, I'd probably go for one of those with SPF20 for summer.
ReplyDeleteI'm partial to the Bare Minerals pressed powder, or Dior Hydra tinted moisturizer (not a true foundation, but I love it). :)

Great review Elle. I haven't tried any of these yet.
ReplyDeleteI'm always on a hunt for a good foundation! Thanks for sharing, gotta try some of these out!

I actually just bought the L'Oreal True Match this weekend. I actually really love it. Will have to check out these others. Foundation is my weakest makeup knowledge.
ReplyDeleteGreat review of these foundations. I'm a Clinique fan, having used it for a few years so I haven't tried any of these.

love the fact you have drugstore recommendations...I have to try more Revlon & I like the name of Whipped :)

People say Revlon colorstay is very good, so I may try it! I think your post is very good! I actually like Chanel Lumiere and Dior Nude and Dior Forever. I think they are really good for the skin!
ReplyDeleteSo I'm sure you've done a post on this, but favorite powders?
ReplyDeleteclinique works best for me (i also like the lancome teint something-or-other), but i am tempted to try less pricey options!
ReplyDeleteGood to know! I am always looking for affordable foundations... they can get so expensive!
ReplyDeletei haven't really found a foundation that could qualify as my favorite just yet, but maybe it's one of these five? ;)

I might have to pick up that Neutrogena one since it's light. I've been using (and loving) the Maybelline Dream Fresh BB cream, but I've been breaking out and I'm wondering if that may be the cause. Hmmm. You are too adorable in the videos!
