First let me say I have very dry mature skin. I am usually a true light but sometimes will get a light/medium due to some foundations have unwanted under-tones.

 

I got this in light, perfect and no under-tones at all, neutral, no pink and no yellow, perfect, my exact match.

It is a matte finish, doesn't look shiny or greasy and yet being matte is doesn't look dry or drying either and so so natural looking, whole kit is natural looking on.

I was unsure after watching the on air video but I think too much was applied, less is better I think, on me anyway, much nicer look, much more natural.

I put it on both days at  4 PM and washed it off around 7 AM which is normal for me.

The only thing I can say negative about the foundation(if you want to call that negative) is you have to blend in quickly since it dries very fast, really fast.

The first day I applied with the brush that comes with the kit and while it is a nice brush I much prefer the IT double ended brush that I got on QVC as a duo/set but the second day I mixed it with my moisturizer and used my finger tips, both got good results.

The concealer didn't do what I would have wanted it for, to cover up a small raised red dot between my eyes, didn't do a thing for that(only thing I found that works on that is the nyx wonder pencil). This concealer did work great though for dark  under-eye circles which I get if I don't get enough sleep, perfect for that.

The blush and lipstick are the nicest softest pink colors, love both. I used a brush the first day for the blush but used my fingers the second day, preferred my fingers but love both the blush and lipstick/gloss.

The mascara is also very nice, very natural looking, not that spidery spiky look that I don't care for on myself but rather a very nice natural look while adding volume and a little length. My lashes stayed very soft the whole time. It is super wet though so I just used a tissue and lightly touched the wand on the tissue to get excess off.

 

Everything washed off very nice when I took it off but it was on from 4 PM till  7 AM the next morning and looked exactly the same at 7 AM as it did when I  first put it on other than I retouched the lipstick around midnight. The color was slightly there yet, almost like a light stain but could see color. I put the lipstick on at 4 PM and at midnight I put the gloss over it.

 

All in all I am very happy with the whole kit and glad I went on AD for it.

Neither the foundation or the concealer crease or settle or show up fine lines/wrinkles and believe me, I do have dry skin.

 

The only thing I ever tried in Doll was the lipstick/gloss which I got the duo set on QVC and have used nothing else since getting that, isn't at all drying.

Re: DOLL 10 JUNE TSV REVIEW

[ Edited ]

I don't know why my above post is so light and so small, set it to times  new roman and the font on 5 so?

 

edited to add, I forgot to say this isn't at all sticky/tacky which some foundations are and stay that way the whole time I have them on regardless how little I use.

@doglover3

I always look forward to your reviews. I think we have the same skin tone. I also ordered this in the light. I agree 100% with everything you mentioned. It is my favorite makeup kit ever. Glad I'm on auto delivery. Makeup holds up all day- even in heat/humidity. I have dry skin but slightly oily t-zone. Only touched up once all day. Love it!

Being today was 90 and humid I put my moisturizer on the tip of one finger than put a dot, about the size of a peppercorn or smaller, really small dot, of the foundation than blended well and applied with my fingers.

I guess since this says full coverage it doesn't need or take much and made an excellent tinted moisturizer which looked exactly the same as the plain foundation so, for summer this will be the way I use it, as a great TM since it worked so well.

 

I must say, this is the first foundation I got in light that is perfect, no pink or yellow undertones which I don't want or need, just plain neutral, perfect shade for me, a first.

 

While there have been others I like none were the perfect match like this one so sure glad I took a chance, wasn't going to when I heard some say it may be heavy or thick, isn't at all but just don't use a lot.

 

glad you agree and yes, we may have very similar skin tone and coloring.

 

The only thing I needed to add was my brows and eye liner, otherwise, perfect kit.

 

give this a try as a TM, you may love it like this for summer, I sure do.

well, worn this whole kit for   5 full days now and still love it which is rare for me.

I am using the foundation the last few days as a TM mixing just the smallest amount with my moisturizer and working quickly although I don't have to work as quickly as I did without mixing it with my moisturizer. This is the only ''drawback'' to this foundation if you want to call having to work quickly   with a foundation. The finish is perfect so I don't mind working faster than I use to on other foundations, gives the best end finish, nice and natural plus it lasts.

My makeup is on at least 12 hours and sometimes up to 16 so, has to last for me and this does.

the only thing I touch up is the lipstick. I start with the lipstick and when I have to touch up I use the gloss end

 

I hope that everyone or almost everyone(not everyone can love everything of course) likes and enjoys their TSV kit.

I'm not wow'ed. The makeup has a bit too much orange for me (I'm fair), and I don't like the texture of the lipstick. I do like the smell of it, however. Smiley Happy

This is the 1st time I have used Doll 10 and I was very pleased.  The foundation is quite nice, but better applied with my fingers or a sponge.  I love the brush though, and used it today with my go-to foundation (Maybelline Dream Smooth Mousse).  Just the kiind of brush I like -- short & dense but soft.  I love the mascara and would buy it separately.  Really makes my 70-year old lashes look long & lush.  The blush is OK -- a little light for me, and I think I prefer a powder.  The lipstick is very nice, tho a little light for me, but very wearable.  I am on auto-delivery, and the Sept. colors (blush & lipstick) are a little darker, which is fine.  For my money, I think the kit is worth keeping for the brush alone!  I would not buy the foundation separately -- as I mentioned above, I love the Maybelline Dream Smooth Mousse, and it is considerably cheaper!

 

 

Just a makeup junkie putting in my two cents!  Have a nice day, ladies.

I received mine this past Saturday and have been using it all week.  I really love the entire kit, which is unusual for me, and I'm so glad I went with AD.  The concealer and foundation are perfect matches for me (in Light); the blush looks great and the mascara goes on easlily  and looks good.

 

I was a bit nervous about trying a liquid since I'd been using powder-type foundation (think Laura Gellar and Bare Minerals) but this one is really a keeper.
