don't fear the unknown in your stash

I could say that for the past one year, I have been a loyal user of Revlon Colorstay foundation and also the Revlon Photoready foundation. I have liked them both for different reasons that gave me satisfying results in the end. I used the Photoready for an everyday basis, when I feel like I'm in the game of a busy day ahead and wouldn't have to worry about my makeup stays on whereas the Colorstay has given me full coverage that I like whenever I were to attend events or important going-outs with my friends, and I wanted to have the full eye and face makeup on. The consistency of Colorstay is thick enough that for me, it could hide my stubborn blemishes.

But quite a while ago, and I think sometime during the examination week, I have changed my regular use of both of the foundations to one that I had in my stash but never really got around using it. Its the Color Basical Whitestay UV Mousse Foundation


Its a mousse foundation that I was too skeptical to try on because of my dry skin (for fear of it getting streaky on my face) but was too excited to pass on. So try I did, and for the rest of my examination period, I have been loyal to this product. You could say that the exams this time around really do change my routine on makeup, as I've mentioned a lot of new products that I've gotten during the examination week. I've been dying to write a review on this one as it was too good to pass.


This product color is really true to my skin color, its just that in the picture, I have to use the flash setting so that you can differentiate the color. It goes on smooth and soft, and doesn't rest between the fine lines of my dry skin either, which is what I wanted. This is so easy to work with that even a little use of it goes a long way, and I find that I don't need to use a setting powder to set my foundation after wards as it doesn't seem to 'melt' on my face eventhough it does give a glowy effect. I think that that's the benefit of using a mousse foundation. It gives you a nice glow to the face, dewy as some would say, without it being overpowering or cakey. And to think that I was on the examination's upbeat, it did save me a lot of time in the morning. It stays on pretty much the same as Colorstay would stay on my face, perhaps even better.

Now I don't really know where one could get this, frankly speaking, though Color Basical is a Malaysian product, I haven't actually seen it sold quite often anywhere. I got mine in my hometown, at a local supermarket Billion. And there aren't any Billions in the big city, so this would be quite the look out. However, I would like to stress the point that, if you have dry skin like I do (meaning you don't have the shine on the face, small pores and less breakouts), you would want to keep and eye on mousse products like this. I know that Maybelline had discontinued their mousse foundation line (which was the bom diggity), but there are some options out there. I know Rimmel made mousse foundation...although I'm keen on trying their new line of foundation that features Zoey Deschannel...okay, I'm rambling.
