Revlon ColorStay for Oily/Combo Skin


I know I mention it in a previous post, but I figured this product deserved it's own post. If you want to look fabulous and keep shine under control, but don't have the money to spend on pricey makeup counter foundations, this is the one for you.
The negatives? This foundation only contains SPF 6 so if you're going to be in the sun for any extended period of time, you will definitely want extra protection. This stuff also dries quickly once you start to apply it, so work quickly or else you may end up with a less than even application.
This produt can be found at drugstores nation wide or online at www.drugstore.com
Prices vary depending on location, but they should be anywhere from $10-12.

Bobbi Brown Oil Free Even Finish Foundation


This foundation is great. PW has combination skin and this stuff works well. It doesn't leave a perfectly matte finish so it looks a bit more natural than others, but it also keeps oil under control. Does it really leave you with an "even finish"? Yes, it does. PW was skeptical about that in the beginning, but Bobbi Brown proved her wrong.
All in all, a great product.
Can be purchased at Nordstrom or anywhere that BB cosmetics are sold.
Unfortunately, this will set you back $40 for a 1 oz. bottle. Does it last? Yes. Is it worth it? For me yes, it is. However, since I know that some of you may be on more of a budget, here is a PW secret: check out Revlon's ColorStay Oil Free Foundation. That will only cost you about $10 at drugstores nation wide. Be aware that the Revlon does give more of a matte finish and if you have really oily skin, the Revlon will probably be better at keeping shine under control.
