Ok, so I'd seen some rave reviews about Revlon's new Nearly Naked foundation. I was pretty psyched to try it, as I've been using Revlon Colorstay for a few years now and while I do like it and the coverage it provides, it sometimes feels a bit heavy. So I was happy to try something different and had heard that the coverage was buildable and was a good coverage.

I used the shade called Vanilla. It went on smoothly and was easy to apply overall. But I noticed almost immediately that it settled a bit into my pores. I applied a bit more, then set it with the Revlon Nearly Naked Powder.

I'd been using this powder for a few weeks and I really REALLY like it! It's very finely milled, hardly any fall out when I swirl my brush around and it sits very nicely on the skin.
Unfortunately, the foundation just went from bad to worse... it had already settled into my pores and about 3 hours after application it was appearing oxidized, extra oily, my skin just *felt* dirty and it looked horrible. Patchy and orangey in some areas. Not good.
I tried it out one more day, but no... I took it back to the store tonight. I will NEVER use it again. It just made my skin feel dirty and felt the opposite of Naked. I will continue using the powder, because I really like it. But the Foundation... no. It just didn't work for me.
