Guerlains' compact comes with a cream to powder foundation and a concealer while Cover Girl compact is stored alone in a blue bulky case.

Sunscreen 
Gurlain contains spf 20 while Cover Girl has spf 15 in it.

Shade
I bought Guerlain's compact in shade beige clair (which is the lightest shade available here). It is not a very light shade since it's darker than my Cover girl compact in classic ivory. Beige clair has a pink undertone to it, which is not a very good match for my yellow undertoned skin.

Covergirl in classic ivory is a really good match for my nc 20 skin.

Texture
Both of them are very creamy and moisturizing on the skin.

Application
Both of them are easy to apply and there's no method required to blend them evenly on  my skin.  I apply them with my finger and they both look beautiful on the skin. A little goes a long way! However I have to apply more layers of Guerlain compact foundation than Cover girl aquasmooth compact to achieve the same coverage

Coverage 
Both of them are above medium coverage. They have the potential to be full coverage. However I do find covergirl offers better coverage than Gurlain.

Staying power
I do feel Cover Girl has a better staying power. After 4 hours Cover girl is still  the same like I just applied; Gurlain transfers a little bit and spreads.

Finish
Both of them gives the most beautiful finish! I do not set them with any powder on top. They all give me flawless skin with beautiful youth glow look.

OVERALL, I feel Cover Girl Aquasmooth Compact is definitely better than Guerlain. Covergirl is a lot cheaper and offers better coverage with longer staying power. Cover Girl  also gives more products than Gurlain. Though Gurlain includes a concealer with this compact, I do not feel the concealer works better than my other concealers.

Revlon nearly naked powder review

Revlon nearly naked powder has creamy and soft texture. It reminds me of Diorskin fusion powder foundation. Dior has better coverage and beautiful finish with spf 25.

The packaging of this pressed powder is elegant. I like the white case with the white sponge inside. Though the sponge does not work well for me and it disappeared somewhere long time ago. 

It contains around 7 gram of powder and it retails at $11.99 CAD plus tax, which is quite pricey. 

The pressed powder has some light coverage. It cannot work itself as a powder foundation. The lightest color here I can find is light, which is a tad darker than my skin tone. I use it to contour my face and it works good. 

All in all, it's a good pressed powder to offer some light coverage on top of foundations. It cannot work as a powder foundation. It does not work well alone but it can work really fine with any types of foundation. 

Revlon nearly naked liquid foundation review

Revlon nearly naked liquid foundation and powder are not new products this year. The liquid foundation has been very popular among youtube community.Many people love this product, however, I do not think it worth the hype.

Firstly, it's about the spf in the foundation. It looks there's no spf 20 in the foundation in the Canadian version. 

Secondly, there's no pump. I dislike mess myself up when applying for makeup. 

Third, the texture is not for me. This liquid foundation seems to be extremely liquid-y and runny to me. It's not easy to apply. 

Fourth, it seems to irritate me. Paula gives very high mark for this foundation. It's supposed to be nice to sensitive skin, however it seems not to be the case to me. I always feel itchy and stinging on my skin after I apply it. I am not sure why. My skin just does not agree with this product. 

Fifth, it does not offer coverage. To me it's offers much less coverage than Revlon's photo ready BB cream. 

Last but not least, I am not a big fan with the finish. I do not know how to describe the finish of this foundation, it's definitely not matte, nor glowy dewy. It's not satin either. 

All in all, I cannot find any pros to like this foundation. Revlon had much better foundations such as photo ready or age defying. It's really not for me. I have lots of expectation with this foundation because everybody seems to love it so much and there are so many good review out there for this foundation. I really want to like this foundation because I know Revlon cannot go wrong with foundations. To me it does not worth the hype.
