4.0 out of 5 stars Most unique mineral foundation I've tried! March 9, 2011

By Lisa Pomeroy

Color Name:Fair/Light

I recently purchased Revlon ColorStay Aqua Mineral Makeup and I am not disappointed.

Although I hesitated to buy yet another mineral makeup, I found it difficult to resist its intriguing claims of coconut water as an ingredient. It was the perfect time for me to buy not only because it was on sale at my local CVS, but it had a $2-off coupon attached. I ultimately spent less than $6 on it.

The packaging is compact and easy to travel with. The sifter allows a fair amount of product to go on the lid, yet it's no hassle to tap any excess product back into the base.

The included brush is soft and supple and is conveniently located in the lid, however my preference is to use a full-size powder brush to apply my minerals.

I am enchanted by the feel of this product. Never before have I applied a dry mineral foundation to my face and have it feel moist while actually still being dry. It's a challenging sensation to describe. It's cooling, soothing, refreshing, but it is not a liquid. It feels weightless and does not settle into fine lines, nor exaggerate dry patches like other mineral foundations I've used. My skin looks smooth and more even-toned and feels hydrated.

Coverage is light-to-moderate, depending on how heavy your hand is while applying the product. There is an extremely subtle luminescence to the product, but don't confuse that with shine or glitter. It is more noticeable in the container than it is on one's face.

Naturally, I do end up with some shine on my T-zone as the day progresses, but who doesn't? That's when blotting papers come in handy.

Mineral makeup can be a very divisive product. People tend to either love it or hate it. I suspect that if you love it, you will also love this. If you hate it, give it one more chance. This just might be the product that turns you into a lover!

2.0 out of 5 stars It's ok, but not for good coverage March 22, 2011

By kk-atl

Color Name:Light

I'm 25, have acne prone combination skin: red bumps, dry patches around chin, and oily t zone, no wrinkles.

This product does not give good coverage. Even when I use concealer on problem spots it doesn't blend well with the concealer. It would be good for someone just looking to highlight a good complexion. It does contain mica and gives a "dewy" look, so if you want a matte finish stay away! It can seem "glittery" in the direct sunlight but not indoor lighting.

The brush quality is nice but can be difficult to use since it is a flat brush and mineral powder should be applied in circular strokes for even coverage and buffing. This brush forces application in straight brush strokes and doesn't blend, just stays where you apply it. Even when using a round brush to apply it is difficult to blend.

I do like the coconut water because it goes over the dry patches without causing them to stand out, but again coverage is not great so it doesn't really benefit me when I'm looking to even out my skin tone.

Would only recommend to people with even complexions and looking for very light coverage or a dewy look.

2.0 out of 5 stars Awful, and I think it's replacing Revlon's colorstay mineral makeup March 7, 2011

By K. McDaniel

Color Name:Light

I tried this because my normal mineral makeup by Revlon (the Colorstay foundation powder) is either discontinued or no longer sold at CVS/RiteAid hoping this would be similar. I flat out hate this product. :( The packaging is better than the Colorstay foundation (there's a little slideout brush that's super soft) so it doesn't get everywhere like the Colorstay version, but the coverage is awful. When you apply it to your skin it feels "wet" hence the aqua name I guess. It's dry powder, but gives you the oddest sensation of wet, dewy skin, but doesn't feel wet when you touch your face afterward. The coverage is next to nothing. I almost felt like I was just putting finishing powder on my face. It's also very, very glittery. I hate glittery foundations/powders because my face is already oily. I don't need extra shine. All in all this product was very disappointing. I will be returning it and stocking up on Revlon's Colorstay instead if it is indeed being discontinued. This product gets 2 stars from me because the brush is very soft.
