Hot from Revlon: New concealer, powder, cream shadow, and mascara
Wednesday, January 9, 2013 at 2:36PM I am really liking Revlon's latest releases. I've been writing about the brand's new products consistently for two years now, and I can tell you this with conviction: they have improved immensely. I have this impression that they listen to what the customers want, so each release brings something new to the table. Sometimes in increments, or in the case of the new mascara, a huge leap!
I loved the Revlon PhotoReady Concealer enough to finish one tube. I always end up grabbing it because it's so convenient and easy to blend out! Also, other than MAC, I find that Revlon gives me a great and consistent shade match when it comes to their face bases (at least one me). It's the same with the new Revlon Age Defying DNA Advantage Concealer.
I have a good feeling about this one. ;) It's pigmented enough to cover blemishes, but it shines as an undereye concealer due to its emollient texture that doesn't slip around. Tip: go one shade lighter when wearing undereye concealer if you need to brighten your undereyes. If you have normal undereyes, same shade you use on your blemishes should be alright.
I haven't tried the Age Defying Pressed Powder yet, so I have no insights for now. The translucent one looks good for retouching though!
The Revlon Colorstay Smoky Shadow Sticks are promising. I'm underwhelmed by the graphite one, but Torch (dark coppery red) is pretty good! It's creamy, pigmented and doesn't slide off. It's great by itself, as a base for eyeshadows or as an eyeliner. I will definitely do a full review soon.
Last but not the least, here's the Revlon Colorstay Overtime Lengthening Mascara. It's my favorite out of the new recruits! ;) It promises not to smear, flake, or smudge, and would you believe it - IT DOESN'T. It's surprising for me as Revlon's last few mascaras tended to smudge after a couple of hours. I also love Overtime because it's washable even though it gives my lashes so much drama.
It clumps easily because it dries fast, so you must move fast when you apply.
And that's it. :) Which of these new Revlon products will you most likely try out?

The concealer!!! I haven't found one that I can say is totally reliable! Currently, I'm using Garnier's BB eye roll-on. Doubles as a concealer and a brightener but I'm still in search of a product I can use on my "pseudo clients" as well (doing practice makeup on my sisters and househelp) since Garnier does not work on more advanced cases of undereye circles. I'm so excited with your comment on the concealer blending easily! I'm waiting for my Ben Nye concealer but I'm dreading the blending part! Heard it cakes but coverage is awesome. How about with Revlon? Any other comments about finish? Caking? Coverage? Please do a full review!
The mascara looks promising! I'm looking for my next mascara, my current tube is nearly gone. I think this is a great prospect. If it's sub-Php300 it'll be perfect. (Asa ba ako?)
Hi Ms. Liz! Do you know what "DNA Advantage" means? I've been looking for a new concealer and it would be great if I find one that's good for my skin as well. Maybe this is it! :) Thanks for the review!
wow!
I wanted to try the smokey sticks and my favourite concealer.
excited to have your review Ms. Liz.:)
I love Revlon (esp foundations and lipsticks)! I am currently using the Photoready concealer on my blemishes. I like that it has good color match and coverage. I would love to try the new concealer but my HG undereye concealer, the Okuma from K palette, would take months before it runs out.
Emily Eddington of Beauty Broadcast did a review on the shadow sticks, still I wasn't quite convinced. Maybe yours will. Cause I love the colors but, I don't trust cream shadows for my oily lids.
The Revlon Nearly Naked line is what I'm waiting for. I'm itching to get my hands on the powder after reading reviews. Hope you get a chance to review it too, in the near future.
Yay for new Revlon products! I'm loving the Revlon mascara in the bluegree tube (I forgot what it's called,) hahaa, so these products are bound to be great. I'm in the marked for a good concealer and this looks very promising. :D

I will most likely try out the concealer! Looks promising!
I'm highly curious about that smokey eyeshadow. Looking forward for your review about it.
Ooh, torch looks nice, i really think that Shadow sticks are easier to apply and blend compared to the traditional eyeshadow palette, will definitely check this out when I go make up hunting. Plus I've been wanting to try a new concealer, great thing you posted this. I just hope it will work well for me. :)
The name is so high tech sounding pero the packaging looksbdated. Wonder how these will work for me
can't wait for your full review. :D
You just know a product is great when you already finished it and planning on repurchasing! I like that it has anti-aging ingredients too thought does it have SPF like the Revlon Photo Ready tube concealer? The Shadow sticks look good too, I'm excited for the full review! :D And I am looking for a nice Mascara though I'm more intrested in one with fibers in it I remember I tried one from Kanebo and LOOOVED it <3
As per what you said ms.liz, i think i should try the new concealer!
Ms. liz can you do a review on revlons new suede lipsticks. They look really nice.
Stick Eyeshadows are a tad bit hard to use, so if you wish to use stick eyeshadows for better application, use your finger or better yet gently swipe your blending blush on the product then build up your desired amount of color; always blend coz sometimes stick eyeshadows are quite too strong when used alone. But if you're like me who's always in a hurry I just grab my favorite stick eyeshadows and use it as a base I use my finger to blend it :)
I'd like to try the pressed powder and mascara!

Ooh! I heard really good things about the DNA concealer & the smokey shadow sticks (gurus on youtube, particularly Amarixe) said that she loved the Torched shadow stick duo as well. I've been thinking about getting the DNA concealer, but I'll probably wait for a review first! Can you please say how it fares in the hot weather & on oily skin? I might get that one or the Amazing Cosmetics concealer. So excited for your reviews!! :D
When I tried the mascara though, the formula was on the wet side, did it weigh down your curl? Thanks for an amazing post! :)
Parang Loreal Hip shadows yung shadow sticks...out of all, the shadows sticks seem interesting. I hope they're cheap here. Kasi nakakabanas minsan when you watch a drugstore product being raved on youtube with price mention pa(USD) only to find out that it's sold twice the price in Philippine shore.
So glad you reviewed the concealer and mascara! I'm thinking of buying them. As for the mascara, how is it with regards to keeping/making the lashes curl? I prioritize curl over volume.
If Im not mistaken this is around P 700-800 right? I would love to try this concealer. Looks promising. Revlon really makes good products. I wish its cheaper here though, like in the US.
I really want to try the concealer. Do you think it can cover acne scarring? :)
I want to try the concealer. I tried a revlon wand concealer before but I forgot yung name nya, and di masyado sya ok for me. Anyway most products naman will either be a hit or a miss kahit kanino so I hope their concealer will be a hit on me, mejo pricey kasi sya dito. Right now my favorite revlon product is the just bitten kissable balm stain (i hope I got the name right). Super obsessed ako sa kanya because I have an eternal dry lips and when I use any lip products, they crack no matter how much I exfoliate and drink water pero those balm stains are heaven sent. Super hydrating sya. Naku OT na yata yun hehe
Revlon has a line in the US called "Nearly Naked'. So far I know it includes foundation and powder. I hope they release it here in MNL!
i hope you do a full review of the concealer and a comparison with the photoready concealer variant. I'm looking for a concealer that would not cake and settle on the fine lines under my eye. I have lots since when I smile and I have high cheekbones, the skin folds between my cheeks and lower eyelid
I'm also wishing you would do a review of the revlon colorstay whipped foundation that you posted a photo of before.
