Dry Skin Saviours!

I'm just one of the unlucky people to have extremely dry skin... it sounds like I'm like just complaining but its one of the worst complexion types to have when you're looking for foundation!
If a brand specialises in foundations for a particular skin type, it'll more than likely be "combination/oily skin" and I think, fair enough, but there is no excuse not to have a version specifically for dry skin... because there's nothing worse than having an almost grainy looking face due to the formula disagreeing with my skin...
But finally after searching and searching I've come across my saviour in the form of Revlon's Colourstay Makeup for Normal / Dry Skin and my shade was 180 - Sand Beige. Here's a few pictures and possibly a quick swatch on my skin -



 So yes, its a liquid which is lovely when I put it on my skin and has such a good coverage - and amazingly my skin looked flawless! (minus spots obviously but I have concealer for that hehe) I'd 100% recommend it and my sister's already bought one for herself so its definitely worthwhile.
The only tiny complaint I have (I'm just being nitpicky) is that there's no dispenser as such? if you know what I mean, like you have to pour it onto your hand or whatever and it leaves a mess in the lid, but its worth it!

If you have dry skin then I'd rush out to buy it fast! I bought it in Boots for £12.49. (half the price of my old Clarins one)

And on a further dry skin note, I bought the Garnier Skin Naturals Moisture Match moisturiser a while ago for dry to very dry skin just to see what it was like and I was very pleasantly surprised! Its now my new day moisturiser; i.e I put it on before applying make up :) its velvet-y in texture and absorbs quite fast :)


I bought it on special offer price (I think?) for £3.99 in Superdrug. I'll be buying another one soon!
