I started using this foundation at the tail end of November when my mom gave it to me. She bought it because she loved the jar, and thought it would be nice for me to have one as well. It's nice and sturdy but not the most travel friendly.
Consistency: The Revlon Whipped Foundation has a gorgeous texture, almost gel-like with a mousse cream finish. It blends incredibly well and feels like a sheer layer of your own skin. The amount of coverage is ample enough for anyone trying to achieve evenness. It has a very silky, soft focus finish and my skin loved every bit of it.
It layers on very beautifully and the pigments are great. Blends really nicely. I used it for over 15+ hours one day because I was out from day to night. It didn't transfer, smudge or look ridiculous. I dusted a bit of powder on my face after 8 hours or so as a touch up but it nonetheless surpassed its longevity.
My mom bought this for me in its lightest shade (Ivory) which I panicked about. I thought I'd be at least 5 shades darker because it looks so light in the jar. After testing it out, I realized how well it blended with my skin tone and the shade is fitting.
All in all, I love this foundation! It is truly a gorgeous texture and feels like a dream on the skin. Revlon really did an amazing job on this product. It gets an A+ from me :)
The rest of what I wore in my FOTD:
NYX Addis Ababa Lip Creme
It looks so intimidating from tube but I patted it on my lips very lightly for work. It's a nice wash of color, sheer and smooth. I love these lip cremes!
That concludes my fave review for the Revlon Creme Foundation! Have you tried this foundation? What are you thoughts on it? :)
See you all in the comments!

oh this one looks really good! and your skin looks flawless :D
I want to try this one too, but it's not available in germany... I'll have holiday in asia next week, hopefully it is available there..;) nice review!
This has been raved about everywhere that I really want to try it! The jar kind of reminds me of YSL foundation I had a long time ago. I would definitely agree that this is something that would look nice on the vanity table hehe. So sweet of your mum to buy it for you~
it looks so naturally on you as it blends well on your skin! loving it! thanks for sharing ^_~
wow, it looks amazing on your skin and that's the lightest shade? I really want to try this, so thank you for the review it is very helpful for me.
ohh i really want to try this. it looks so good! how many shades deos it come in? i find it so hard to find the right shade
Ooooh that's very long wearing! How is the oil control? It sounds very similar to the Lunasol Water Cream foundation.
Hi Nunu! It's pretty good at oil control. The foundation is more on the "drier" side.
Thanks! :) I hope you try it and like it ^_^
Thanks Janet!
Yeah I used to have the one from YSL =P
Thanks! ^_^
Thanks! I hope you find it =D
I have this too but I rarely use it. I like sheer coverage for everyday. But when I have special occasions to attend to, I would use this. It does have a unique texture to it and the staying power is excellent.
Wow, it looks so dreamy on you! I would love to try this out, I love mousse-like textures and the "barely there" look. It looks so natural! This review was so helpful, I may have to pick this up next time I see it!
I heard a lot of raves about this foundation. Darn if I didn't have too many bb creams, foundation and tinted moisturizers I would definitely try this. You look amazing, the texture of this foundation is amazing on you. Thanks for the review!
What a interesting texture! It blends so nicely with your skintone your mom really have "the eye" ;)
The consistency looks so so niiiice! I've seen this floating around before, but still debating whether I should give it a try...Maybe a will now! :)
Thanks for sharing!
it looks really nice, just wondering (coz from what i can see in the photo of thr swatch) it looks a little cakey? and is it designed for a specific skin type?
It looks lovely on you! This is my first time seeing photos of you.. You're so pretty gal!! ^_^ Jarred foundations do look nice.. but I'm still iffy about dipping my fingers! Glad to know that it lasts SO long though! xx
it blends it so nicely with your skintone!
thanks for your comment the other day about the Kiehl's toner on my "Empties" post - it's definitely worth a try if you have the chance to :) it smells like floral tea!
Ivory suits you really well!!! I'm slowly realizing that I'm not as dark as I think I am when it comes to foundations, and that after blending and oxidizing, I can go a couple shades lighter than what I usually grab.

Hi Jen! It is on the "drier" side, I think. So it must be used with a light hand and then layered over if you want more coverage
Thank you!
Hi Laura, you and me have nearly the same skin tone!
A lot of people have said that =D haha
=) Thanks Amy! I hope you try it ^_^
haha yeah my mom is a compulsive shopper.
Thanks Anna! I hope you get to try it very soon. I'd love to read your thoughts on it.
This foundation look amazing on you! I am looking for a similar foundation that isn't so cakey looking. I think I will give this a try! Thanks for this awesome review!
I love this foundation too though I get over the hygiene issue by using a Q-tip to get the product out of the jar. I don't like dipping my fingers into it since I know I'm not going to use it daily. Hey I do use Maybelline Dream Matte powder on top of this foundie too - great combo! I do agree with the difficulty in judging the colour from the packaging - I scoured the Internet for women who have the same skin tone as me to see which shade they got. My skin was fading from its summer tan so Warm Golden it was. It was a perfect match.
Oh noes, I can't stand having foundations in a jar form. I have long nails, and when I dip my fingers into the jar, some foundation will inevitably get under my nails. Ummm, no!
The formula sounds amazing though, and it looks wonderful on you!
I've been lusting after this and I have been very much into creams and liquids for moisturizing qualities, I swatched myself in store and had a match but the color I am seems to be very popular and out of stock! Must get it sometime! And I do like that lippie on you! Such a nice bitten flush!^^
I've never tried foundation in a jar for that very reason. I prefer the pump. OK going to look at your F21 50% off haul. After 2 trips I got a real leather jacket for $37.50 orig $150 and 12 sweaters. 6 for my Mom 6 for me. All that for about $100.
The foundation looks perfect on you! I actually quite like jarred products...just because of the aesthetics like you said, haha. Might have to go check this out! :)
The colour matches you wonderfully. I really like it that it looks so flawless yet natural. I can't buy Revlon cosmetics easily. But I really adore a good foundation ^^
that foundation really made your skin looks flawless. I've been meaning to try that foundation from Revlon because I've heard great things about it, and Revlon always have amazing coverage for such an affordable price :) thanks alot for the review! xo

I never heard of this one, but Revlon Colorstay is used to be my HG foundation for so long before. It really looks great on you and I really agree that some drugstore products can be comparable (or better) than the high end brands. ^_^ And the lip creme shade is so lovely!!
The foundations looks flawless on you and the lip creme is really nice! Now I'll have to take a look at them next time I'm at the drugstore!
The foundation looks really natural and flawless on your skin!
thanks for sharing this. i have it in buff and i love this foundation except that the color match is not perfect. maybe i should have gotten the ivory color. it doesn't look pink at all from your pic!
you look very natural and beautiful. ;)
Your skin looks lovely and what a great match to your skintone.
omgosh wow i've never ever tried whipped foundation but i might have to it looks AMAZING on you! so flawless!! i love NYX lip creams too hehe :p
oh haha when i come home from dinner or something i'll wear them up the stairs.. but i rarely wear them going down.. it's too dangerous.. i don't want to accidentally hurt myself before leaving the house hahaha!

You look awesome!
hmmm yeah foundation in a jar does look pretty messy, and might not be as sanitary, I don't think I like that!
I heard only of good things of said foundation. I have not tried it myself because I'm a bit uncomfortable with the thought of using a foundation that comes in a jar... but yes I notice how the finish looks lovely on your swatch! :D
hmmm, i am super curious about this stuff, but haven't really settled on a shade. also, would you say it is very mousse/whipped in texture?? it looks like it would spill if it wasn't a thicker cream/whipped formula! lol
i so need to pull out my nyx lip creams again! ;) the foundation looks great on you
My Blog: Caught in a Daze.
The foundation looks gorgeous on you! I have heard so many positive reviews about it, I kind of wish I had picked one up when I was in the States.
The lightest shade sold in my country is Nude 220, which sucks because it is definitely darker than my skin tone. That said, I agree with you. Pretty good stuff :-)
This looks absolutely beautiful on you. I just wish there would be testers for these as they look quite deceiving in the jar as in real swatches. I'm looking for a foundation with greater coverage. Definitely going back to the drug store to check them out again.
Looks good on you! and love ur eyes!
This looks fabulous on your skin. I loved this too, but mine went bad after a month or so. It stated to smell really bad (like alcohol) and I just couldn't use it anymore. It might have just been mine though.
