Revlon Youth FX System Review


I was hand picked through Crowdtap to test and review the new Revlon Youth FX System
In my kit I received...
1 sample of Youth FX Foundation
1 sample of Youth FX Concealer
1 sample of Youth FX Forehead primer
and 1sample of Youth FX Face/Neck Primer.

The Revlon Youth FX system is geared towards more mature skin like mine. These products are to fill and blur signs of aging to help you look years younger in just seconds.
As I'm going to be 50 years old this September I have been noticing more fine lines, darker spots and aging skin. 
Who doesn't want  products to help hide those signs of aging?! I know I do.


Lets talk about the primers. I like the fill + blur primer for face and neck. It was a bit to thick and took more time to apply onto skin but felt nice and seem to give me a better canvas for foundation. It did appear to fill in my fine lines that I have around my eyes. 



As for the Forehead primer I really could do without this product for two reasons first I don't have a need for this yet my forehead has no wrinkles or deep lines between the eyes and second is that the face/neck primer worked well. 


Onto the Foundation. The shade I picked is 330 Natural Tan with a SPF20 I have more color on my face from the sun so this shade was a good match. It did give me a full coverage and looked great. It was a lot thicker than what I normally would buy in a foundation. 
I noticed that using a foundation brush wasn't a option it needed to be applied with a sponge so it didn't appear blotchy.
It did blur my dark spots and filled in my fine lines. It stayed on over 12 hours and still looked fresh.
Below is a before. My skin has a lot of dark age spots.

My skin looks amazing. Its hard to tell I have dark spots!

There was one thing I disliked about the foundation it was sticky/tacky on my skin all day long. My skin felt awful. I couldn't wait to wash it off. If they could change that I would so buy this as my daily foundation.


The last product is fill + blur concealer in 04 medium. This was way to light in color to be medium. It applied smoothly but didn't give me the coverage I needed. As a matter of fact it made my dark spot stand out even more. I think I would need a  darker shade. Although the foundation did give me full coverage. 

I received these free sample to test and review for my honest opinions. All opinions are my own.

Covergirl + Olay FaceLift Effect Review



I was excited to get into this bzzagent campaign. I'm always on the look out for better coverage in a foundation without looking like I'm wearing a ton of it.
I started to use this the first week I received this. I wore the foundation on  four different days.


 I really liked that it was creamy like a whipped mousse texture it applied smoothly and the medium shade went great with my skin tone. I wasn't happy with the way it felt on my skin through the day. It felt dewy. I had used a foundation brush to apply it.
A week later I wanted to give it another try but this time I used a sponge to apply it with and WOW I noticed that I didn't have that dewy feeling. I guess the foundation brush just put too much foundation on. I now have a flawless coverage it helps to deduce the look of my fine lines in an instant.


I tested the Covergirl + Olay De-Puffer which also is a medium coverage eye concealer. Many women have puffiness and dark circles under their eyes. I tend to when I don't get enough sleep or drink enough water. This De-Puffer works well in covering up those dark circles but I'm not sure about the puffiness under the eyes as I don't have that right now. Its easy to use. You just squeeze some onto the tip and apply under your eyes in a back and forth motion for 30 seconds then blend or press into area. I used this without any foundation and it looked great. 
When I used both the foundation and the concealer together I got a flawless coverage that I was really happy with.


Now below is my before and after pictures. I think my skin looks amazing after applying the Covergirl + Olay FaceLift Firming Effect Makeup I can really see the difference my skin tone looks more even.
