Drug Store Foundation - Revlon Colorstay Whipped Foundation

So I'm a girl who it pains to drop more than $20 on foundation. I've tried higher end foundations such as Makeup Forever, MAC, Sephora etc. and don't get me wrong, I've gotten along with them just fine. But when it comes to me handing over $40-60, it hurts my insides. At the moment I have my Makeup Forever HD Foundation that is for special occasions, because lets face it. It's pretty darn nice. But for every day wear, there's no way I want to smear that kind of money on my face. Over the years I've gotten to know my skin and what works well with it and what doesn't. I'm a pretty fair skinned lady with a ton of freckles. I have oily/combination skin and find it hard to keep my makeup on through a full day of work let alone go without having to use blotting paper for more than 2 hours. I've have a rough time trying to find an inexpensive option for a foundation. But I've had some success! Here is one of my favourite foundations so far:

Revlon Colorstay Whipped Foundation:

Revlon seems to be a favourite of a lot of people. I don't think I've seen a very negative review for the Colorstay Liquid foundation, so why should this be much different? I have tried both, and I did like the liquid foundation, but I am in LOVE with this whipped formula. Like I said, I've always had a rough time with foundation staying on for more than a few hours. My greasy skin just makes it slide so I always try and look for long lasting things and this really is. I don't think I'd ever want to keep makeup on my skin for 24 hours, so I don't know if that claim is truthful or not, but it is definitely long lasting. I was a little thrown off when I opened the package because I was expecting more of a mousse I think, but its part liquid, part mousse I think. I can turn it upside down without it falling out.. The packaging is a bit bulky. A glass case and a plastic screw on top. Pretty, but unnecessary really. I think it jacks up the price to be honest. I believe I paid around $16, but I'm not 100% sure. But all in all, it blends so beautifully - maybe a tad more work is needed with this thicker foundation, but it feels so light and fluffy on my skin with medium to full coverage, defiantly buildable. Like air on my skin. So lovely.
