Presto Change-O!!!

Okay. You know Yours Truly is a big sucker for {{{unique}}} products (read that "gimmicks," boys and girls). I've been eyeballing this Revlon Foundation championed by the lovely Jessica Alba that starts out white and changes to your exact skin color. "Yeah, sure it does, Jessica. Of course I believe you." The ever-practical me just knew it couldn't be so. However, finding myself in CVS the other day. . . well, there she was, Jessica, her beautiful countenance just begging me to prove her wrong. So of course I HAD to buy some. (That's my story and I'm stickin' to it!!!)

Now it is NOT all one color. There are, I believe, five color ranges. I chose #210 light. (I have paled out to almost ghost white this winter. Not sure why.)

Got it home, ripped it out of the blister pack and squirted some on my hand. My first thought was Ewwwwwwwwwwwww!!! It looks like Breyers Vanilla Ice Cream, you know, the stuff that's off white with black flecks of vanilla beans. My skin color? Hardy Har Har. So I rubbed a little in and ya know what? It turned into a nice very pale beige color. My, my, my. I then tried it on my face. Did the same thing. I wouldn't say it's my exact color, but it's dang close. It gives you a nice, dewy look. It's very soft with pretty good coverage. I wouldn't have believed it but, hey, would Jessia Alba lie? I think not.

One point here. For drugstore makeup, it's NOT cheap. This tiny tube of Revlon Beyond Natural Skin Matching Makeup (Says 1fl. oz. but sure doesn't look like it) was $12.99 in CVS. For that price, you can start thinking about foundation in the department stores. However, if you're in CVS, Rite Aid, Walgreens, et cetera, and you want some unique foundation, this may just fit the bill. It may be a gimmick, but it does what it says.
