CVS Drugstore Haul: Revlon Summer Collection

Revlon Beyond Natural is a new makeup collection, which includes eight products that create a naturally glamorous look, and works with all skin tones. The collection for face, eye and lip includes a smoothing primer, a unique skin matching makeup, a concealer and highlighter in a single compact, a cream-to-powder eye shadow, a defining eye pencil, a defining mascara with a molded brush, a cream lipgloss and a protective liptint.

Revlon ColorStay Mineral Lipglaze is the first mineral lip gloss with longwearing ColorStay technology that lasts up to eight hours and is an extension of the Revlon ColorStay mineral face and eye collection launched in the first half of 2008.  So, I defintely wanted to put this to the test!

Drugstores should seriously have beware signs ya'll.  I just can't seem to stay away.  The ladies at CVS were just setting up the Revlon summer displays and I was really drawn into this collection mostly due to the name, Beyond Natural.  A summer collection based around the natural, no makeup look.  Beyond Natural consists of two different displays: Cool and Warmer color shades.  The cooler collection colors are mostly based around pinks and the warmer shades are browns, and peach shades.

Protective Liptint in Spice Epice 050.  The protective liptint was my favorite out of my CVS haul.  An moisturizing lip tint with SPF 15 + 6 different colors = Cha-ching!  Spice Epice is a gorgeous bronzey peach color that was featured in the promo ad.  I have been sporting around this lovely liptint for the last few days and I'm really loving it!  Revlon's liptint reminds me of alot MAC's strobe collection.  The color Spice Epice had excellent color pay-off!  I didn't try any of the pinks colors because they looked fairly sheer.

Creme Lipgloss.  Described as a creamy peach shade.  Lipgloss is a must have accessory for summer.  The texture was very smooth, moisturizing, and non-sticky.  The color pay-off and staying power was much better when used in conjuction with the protective liptint.

Creme to Shadow Quad.  I usually don't splurge on drugstore eyeshadows because MAC is the best.  However, the colors always seems to pull me in.  The natural brown shades in this quad automatically caught my attention.  But, if your looking for color pay-off, perhaps this isn't the product for you.  Revlon's really going for that natural look, and that is exactly what this collection delievers. A very natural, no-makeup look.  The texture was very smooth and easy to apply with your fingers.  I had no luck whatsoever with makeup brushes and was much easier with my fingers.  However, there was some creasing but, I caked on several layers which may have been a factor.  Clearly this creme to shadow isn't meant to be layered upon layer but, I wanted to put it to the test.  Overall, I liked this creme to shadow quad.  It's easy, quick and pefect for the beach or anywhere you want to look all nat-ur-al!

Colorstay Mineral Lipglaze in Natural Raisin. The claim: A Mineral Lipglaze that supposed to last up to 8 hours with Revlon's colorstay technology.  I haven't purchased a revlon colorstory lip product in lord knows how many years!  Probably when they first introduced the line.  The color pay-off was outstanding and the texture was a tad on the sticky side.  The staying power wasn't quite 8 hours, but did last for quite sometime.  The shine was still there after an hour, which is one of the things I really liked.
