Revlon Colorstay 2in1 compact makeup and concealer




I got mine from Bed Bath and Beyond for $12.79. 
You can get it from any drugstores, online retailers, Target, or Ulta.com.

Revlon's ColorStay 2-In-1 Compact is an expertly matched makeup + concealer that lasts all day.

Benefits:
  • Sweat resistant
  • Perfectly matched shades
  • Blends seamlessly to an even, semi-matte finish
  • All day wear
Ingredients-
Octyldodecanol, PEG-8 Beeswax, Silica, Ozokerite, Hydrogenated Polydecene, Polyethylene, Tocopheryl Acetate, Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Sodium Hyaluronate, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Polybutene, Isopropyl Titanium Triisostearate, VP / Hexadecene Copolymer, Methoxy Amodimethicone / Silsesquioxane Copolymer, Hydrogen Dimethicone, Aqua (Water) Eau, Butylene Glycol, Salicylic Acid, Silica Dimethyl Silylate, Ethylparaben, Mica, Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Iron Oxides (CI 77491, 77492, 77499), Dimethicone, Isopropyl Isostearate, Neopentyl Glycol Diethylhexonoate, Tribehenin, Isostearyl Behenate, Nylon-12, Boron Nitride, Lauroyl Lysine, Tridecyl Trimellitate, Trimethylsiloxysilicate, Talc, Candelilla Cera (Euphorbia Cerifera (Candelilla) Wax Cire De Candelilla), Myristyl Myristate, Polyglyceryl-4 Isostearate, Lecithin, Lauryl PEG / PPG-18 / 18 Methicone, Pentahydrosqualene, Sorbitan Trioleate, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Ethylene / Methacrylate Copolymer, Phenoxyethanol, Dehydroacetic Acid, BHT.
Two layers - one on top has a small concealer pan. It's a bit on the dryer side of the cream formula, and it's slightly lighter in color than the foundation. Staying power is not that great if not set with a powder, but the concept of this compact is great!
Second layer is the cream foundation. It's much more creamier and slightly slicker than the concealer.
A mirror on the other side of the cream foundation which is helpful but not at the same time. It's convenient for touch up on the go, but annoying if I have to keep flipping back and forth while applying. 
This sponge is kind of corse, and not very useful to apply products. It didn't blend out the cream stuff evenly on my face so I would skip this. Put a better sponge applicator inside the lower compartment since there's a lot of space there.
Left swatch is the foundation, and right swatch is the concealer. One is more yellow and the concealer is cooler/pinkish undertoned.
Under sunlight.
Under normal daylight.
