This mascara might be good for those who already have long, luscious lashes, but it did nothing for my pitiful ones. Maybe I was expecting too much, but I didn’t see any “boost of volume.”
Despite the chunky container, the brush was actually quite well designed making it easy to use. I’m not sure if it was the mascara or the brush, but trying to apply a second coat was like dragging through mud.
The Extreme Black - 785 is definitely what it says it is and I am so happy they don’t test on animals.
I have tried other Covergirl mascara and loved them, so it is just this one that I have an issue with.
Price wise I think you can get better for less.

For a drug store brand this foundation performs well. Finding the correct colour has always been an issue, but Cover Girl has made that a little easier with their distinctions between warm, cool and neutral. I would have to say that this is a medium coverage foundation and very easy to apply and blend with little effort. Even though it is matte, it didn’t make my skin dry and overall I’ve had better results with this foundation than any other I’ve tried.
If you can find the perfect shade for you, you won’t be disappointed with the results.

The first thing I noticed was the rather strong scent, but for me it wasn’t a big issue. This is very creamy and very easy to apply. I used a brush, but any method would work if that’s your choice. The color I tried was 520 - Creamy Natural which to me was a warm shade. This makes a good base for any other makeup you choose to wear over it.
This foundation is so well priced that you can afford to experiment with their other shades to see which ones suit you. I will most certainly look for different shades to see if any others would work for me too.

The first thing I noticed was the rather strong scent, but for me it wasn’t a big issue. This is very creamy and very easy to apply. I used a brush, but any method would work if that’s your choice. The color I think is rather nice with a slight pinkish hue. This makes a good base for any other makeup you choose to wear over it.

I’ve tried many foundations, but never found one that I really like so I was really hoping this would be the one for me. The colour I tried was 210 Classic Ivory which on me was more orange than pink. The pump action works well and I prefer this method as it’s more sanitary. It does give you an even skin tone and doesn’t dry it out. Unfortunately, that’s about the only positive thing I can say about this foundation.
I can only assume my wrinkles are too deep and/or too many because the foundation didn’t reduce the look, but rather accentuated them. Those with sensitive skin should probably avoid this as shortly after application my face started to sting.
I can only conclude that this probably isn’t the right foundation for older people or I’m just really lousy at the application which is why I gave it three stars and not less.

This has to be the best foundation I’ve ever tried. Application was very easy as was blending. What was interesting to me was that it didn’t feel like I was wearing foundation, it was very light. The colour I used was Classic Ivory which is probably on the cool spectrum. This shade was perfect for me, almost natural. There were no negatives as far as this foundation is concerned. The price is not much different from the competition, but even if it were more expensive I think it’s worth it. I highly recommend giving this a try because the only issue you might have is choosing the right colour. -

This review is for Light/Medium 530. I’ve tried BB creams in the past, but never one like this one. I don’t know if it was a fluke, but the cream wasn’t a cream, but rather coloured liquid. I had to quickly spread it around and because it was so thin this took some time.
The colour itself is quite nice and the coverage is light to medium. My preference for a BB cream is an actual cream so for that reason I gave it two stars.

This review is for Light - 710.
Before use, I’d recommend using a good moisturizer otherwise it tends to sit in crevices which is not a good look. Despite the lipstick shape, application was easier with a brush otherwise the concealer will drag across your skin.
I really like the shade and it worked well with my skin tone. I wouldn’t use it all over, but for specific areas such as under the eyes I think it’s perfect.
For a drug store concealer, I think it’s a fairly decent product at a very reasonable price.

Two of the shades are supposedly scented, but I couldn’t detect any difference so that’s great for those with sensitivities.
With eight different shades, so many different looks can be achieved for both day and night. There is a slight “sparkle” to them, but I didn’t find it overly obvious after application. Great value for what you get.
I would have given it five stars had it not been so difficult to open. This is something Covergirl really needs to work on.

I’ve never used a bottom coat lip/top coat balm combination before so I was quite eager to find out how it worked. The colour I tried was 542 Brazen Raisin and whilst it’s a lovely colour, it was too dark for my complexion. As per instructions, if you wait long enough the colour won’t transfer to the top coat. The bottom coat was very thick and as it’s a small container, I don’t think it will last too long. Due to how thick it was it’s quite hard to define the edges and you might find a brush more helpful.
The colour certainly lasts a long time and stands up quite well to eating and drinking. If you want a shine though you will have to use the top coat frequently. Unintentionally I licked my lip and the taste was a bit icky, but then most lipsticks/glosses don’t taste very nice. Depending on how many uses you get from the lip colour it may be a bit on the expensive side. They do have quite a diverse range of colours, so there’s bound to be something for everyone.
