Revlon New Complexion Oil-Control Makeup

by Joelyne

I’m really glad I got the opportunity to try out Revlon’s New Complexion Oil-Control Makeup before it hits stores in November, and share with you my thoughts.

For someone like me who likes to apply her foundation quite sheerly, but needs her face looking fresh and shine free, this makeup is fabulous. Applying it to the areas that need it, I can feel confident that my oily zones will remain unoily for the rest of the day!

It is best to apply the foundation with a makeup brush first, if you want a sheer coverage like me, and then use your fingertips to blend in a bit of moisturiser.

This Revlon makeup can be purchased for $24.95, from November, 2011.

Revlon Makeup Benefits:

Oil-absorbing spheres eliminate shine
Medium coverage
Fragrance-free (important for me, as I have sensitive skin), free of added parabens, non comedogenic
Oil-free formula won’t clog pores
Soft, matte finish formula
SPF 20 (LOVE this, as I’m pro anti ageing, sun protection)

I shared this wonderful experience with other beauty bloggers in the beautiful surrounding of Bondi Icebergs at Bondi Beach.

Sleep it off: The Darling Point Pad

No excuse needed for treating yourself to a few zzz’s in this glamorous, privately rented penthouse. The pimping pad spans the entire top floor of a 1930’s mansion so you can watch over the rest of the city.

Eat Together: Duke Bistro

This laid-back bistro is the latest hangout for the fashion-forward hipsters of the Eastern Suburbs. Take a seat on one of the communal tables and order some of its famous food/booze concoctions like the kingfish gin & tonic.

Dive Drinking: Sticky

It’s amazing this clandestine haunt has managed to stay under the radar for so long. Of course, getting there (down a deserted laneway, press a door buzzer and cross your fingers) might have something to do with it. Once inside, it’s worth the wait.

Caffeine Fix: Allpress Roastery

If you don’t already know about Allpress, it is possible you have been living under a rock. Sydneysiders who take their brews seriously can be found lining up around the block to grab a rich flat white.

Dance Queen: Slide

If this opulent club can in human form, she would be Liza Minelli. This Art Deco building offers up cabaret, burlesque and over-the-top entertainment to keep you dancing until dawn.

Happy Monday hunnies! These Kobe Husk shoes are incredibly comfie and make my legs look extra long Can’t complain with that now can I? I’m really excited for when the warm weather stays, so I can wear more white, crop tops & wedges!

I think cropped tops look fabulous with high waist skirts/pants/shorts – would you agree? I especially love when it shows a tiny, incy wincy bit of the stomach.
