Battle of the bases #1


These 'battle of the bases' posts will consider the pros and cons of each product and deduct which is better and for which reason, the first battle is between Revlon Colorstay (my old faithful) and L'Oreal True Match (a new love.) 

REVLON COLORSTAY: (BUFF)

PROMISES?
1. Full coverage foundation for oily/combination skin 
2.SPF 6
3. 24 Hr long wear
4. Lightweight feel

PROS:
1. Long wearing
2. Full coverage 
3. Perfect colour 

CONS:
1. Heavy on the skin 
2. No pump 
3. Hefty price tag of £12.49 (for a drugstore product?!)

L'OREAL TRUE MATCH: (GOLDEN IVORY)

PROMISES:
1. Super-blendable
2. Perfect colour
3. SPF 17
4. Without caking

 PROS:
1. Lightweight feel 
2. good, build-able coverage
3. Has a pump 
4. Good colour 

CONS:
1. Can feel greasy over time- needs powder


And the winner is..

L'Oreal True Match!
Even though my Revlon is my old favorite and I will always have a bottle in my stash, it is just too much coverage and heaviness for everyday (especially with summer on the way.) 
I much prefer the lightweight feel of the true match, and I personally do not mind powdering!

So there you go, the first battle of the bases, have you tried either of these?
