Hot Drugstore Find of the Week: Revlon Photo Ready Foundation

Hello Divas!

I hope your Wednesday is fantabulous!

As you recall, I purchased Revlon's Photo Ready Foundation a couple of weeks ago because I heard it gives you a flawless finish.  I have been using it since then and it has its pros and cons.

First the pros:  This foundation is so lightweight, it does not feel like I am wearing anything.  It does have a "photo ready" finish.  If blended well, your skin will achieve that airbrushed look.  More importantly, this foundation does not break me out!  A plus here! I am extremely careful about what I put on my face and this foundation does keep me blemish free.

Cons:  I find that I have to use a lot of the product to cover deep blemishes.  When comparing this foundation to my Black Opal Stick Foundation that covers every blemish, Revlon Photo Ready does not provide deep coverage.  So if you have skin with minimal blemishes, Revlon's Photo Ready Foundation is perfect!

You can purchase Revlon's Photo Ready Foundation at CVS or online here.

My Favorite Drugstore Beauty Products!

Hello Divas!

I hope your day is truly Fantabulous! It is gorgeous in Atlanta. The luxe kids and I were out all day yesterday. So today is another day on the scene! Woot!

Last week I was asked by Concierge PR to recommend beauty products for the Dress To Remember Event. This event was sponsored by Dress for Success and Concierge PR. The purpose of this event was to provide gently used prom dresses, mini-makeovers, and goody bags for Atlanta Public School teenagers in need. The products I recommended were included in the goody bag. Of course, I only recommended the best drugstore brand products..that I use. Here they are:

1. Covergirl Lashblast Mascara. I know I have blogged about this mascara before but it is my current go to mascara. Love!

2. Black Opal Foundation sticks and concealers. Black Opal is a GREAT bargain foundation. It goes only smoothly and completely covers blemishes. Plus the range of colors compliment women of color beautifully.

3. Loreal Hip Color Presso Duo lip shades and eye shadows! I love Loreal's Hip line. I compare it to MAC but on a budget. The colors are intense and very rich. I love the duo lip gloss. You get two shades for one price. You can layer the shades or use one at a time. The eye shadows are pretty fab too. They have purples, golds, greens, etc.

4. Revlon A Floral Affair Blush. These blushes contain 3 colors that you can blend together or use separately. I use one color as a blush and another color as a highlighter. In addition, the color ranges are great for all skin tones. Great product!

5. Wet n Wild's cream and powder bronzers. Awesome products. The Megaglow Illumnizing bronzer is my all time fav drugstore bronzer! Wet n' Wild bronzers come in several shades for different skin tones and they are only $2.99! Can't beat it.

6. Milani lip liners. These lip liners are creamy and retractable! I love that! Plus they come in a wide range of shades and they are only $3.50!


I hope the young ladies enjoy these products. I use all of these products several times a week. Beauty does not have to break the bank!

What are your favorite drugstore brands?
