My New Favourite Foundation and Real Techniques Sponge!

Hello!.. So a couple of weeks ago I kept noticing a lot of people talk about the Revlon Colour Stay Foundation for combination to oily skin. It was said to be really good. So I thought I would try it. So I rushed out and bought it. I have to say, it is definitely the best foundation I have used in a long while. It is my new favourite, my go to.

Revlon Colour Stay Foundation in 330 Natural Tan (Retails for £12.49)

Since I have used this foundation I feel much more confident within myself and find myself powdering much less! This is because the Revlon Colour Stay Foundation gives me that matt finish my skin has been crying out for. The fact it is from a drug store is even better. It's easily accessible and won't put me out of pocket. I have this foundation in the shade '330 Natural Tan' and I have found it matches my skin perfectly. I find with a lot of other foundations I have tried I can look a little on the oompa loompa side, but I don't have that with this foundation.

The only thing that I feel could be better about this foundation is the packaging. It doesn't have a pump and because the consistency is fairly thick, I personally find it a little bit difficult to get the foundation out. I have the whole 'getting ketchup out of a glass bottle' thing happening.

Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge (Retails for £5.99)

My favourite way to apply this foundation is by using the Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge. I had never tried using a sponge before purchasing this particular one. I love it. I usually dampen the sponge with some cold water before I use it. I then pop a little bit of the foundation onto the back of my hand and dip dab the sponge into it. The foundation gives a medium coverage but is easily build-able for those days where I am needing a bit more coverage. I am able to achieve this by blotting the sponge on those areas of my face. This sponge is also incredibly easy to clean. I just use a little bit of shampoo. It is as simple as that.

The finish this sponge gives my foundation is extremely natural. That is what I love about it most. I am a great believer of makeup enhancing what you already have, not changing what you have.

Have any of you tried the Revlon Colour Stay Foundation? or the Real Techniques Beauty Sponge? What did you think?

Thanks for reading!
