Revlon Nearly Naked & Covergirl Mascara Review!

Now that I've finally ran out of mascara and foundation, I decided to go to Walmart to get new stuff since I don't typically like buying products without finishing them first.



Luckily for me, I got a coupon in my Cosmo magazine this month for $4 off for Covergirl so I decided to try out 2 fairly new mascara's. The first mascara that I tried out was the Lashblast Clump Crusher ($7), which is in the bright lime green packaging. The formulation is very similar to the original lash blast but the one thing that's different is the curved brush. I actually really like the curved brush because it helps my lashes curl better. This isn't the most voluminous mascara that I've ever used but I do certainly like the amount of volume and length that this mascara gives. I definitely like it a lot better than the original. When using this mascara, my lashes weren't clumpy nor flaky. Last but not least, it wasn't difficult to take off.

The second mascara that I tried was the Lastblast 24 Hour ($7) mascara. I didn't see any difference between this and the original lash blast. The only thing that sets them apart was that the 24 hour mascara stayed on better. I wasn't too fond of this mascara. The thing I couldn't stand the most about this mascara is that it's super hard to take off. They weren't joking about it being able to last all day...







The next few products that I bought are from the new Nearly Naked collection from Revlon. 


Revlon Nearly Naked Liquid Foundation 
in the shade 230 Nutmeg ($7)

This foundation has a light coverage with a dewy finish. That being said, it did leave my face feeling a little greasy once applied. Since I do have combination/oily skin, this foundation wasn't really for me. It stayed on for about 5 hours, then it started to fade as the day went on. I think this foundation would be perfect for someone with normal/dry skin that would like a very natural coverage. One really good benefit to this foundation is that is has a wide range of color selection so if you're having trouble finding foundations that match your skin tone, you should go check out this collection!


Revlon Nearly Naked Pressed Powder Foundation in the shade 040 Medium/Deep ($7)

I actually really liked this pressed powder because it didn't leave my face looking cakey like other pressed powders usually do. It has a light/medium coverage with a very natural finish. What I love about this powder so much is that it's very buildable. No matter how many times I re-apply, it will still look very natural. The only con about this product is that unlike the liquid foundation, the powders from this line don't have that big of a color selection. I was lucky enough to be a perfect match to the darkest shade of the collection. 

Overall, I think the collection lives up to what they said it'd be. It was very "light and melts right in."
