    Unbelievably good! This is a definite must have for the spring and summer. This drugstore foundation is easily comparable to Lancome's Teint Idole Fresh Wear ($32) or even MUFE Mat Velvet ($34). It has been my go-to foundation for the last 3 weeks. It feels like I'm wearing nothing on my face. It gives a smooth, natural, and lightweight finish. Covergirl Natureluxe Silk Foundation provides a light to medium coverage and leaves skin silky and satin-looking. It doesn't completely matte your skin out. Nor does it leave it dewy. It leaves a naturally beautiful finish - check out pics below.

    It contains jojoba extract and cucumber water! So it feels so nice when it's applied. It can be best described as the middle child between tinted moisturizer and foundation. I initially started using this foundation as a means of SPF protection when I went to my son's football games on the weekend. I couldn't go out there bare face and needed some SPF. It's obnoxiously hot out there and I couldn't bare anything heavy or sticky (or obvious). This was my saving grace. I started using it everyday since then and I am l-o-v-i-n-g it.

    Covergirl Natureluxe Silk Foundation is super EZ to apply. No brush required in my opinion. The foundation is creamy but blends in like butter. Just dab a pea-sized amount on your hand and then dot it on both cheeks, forehead and chin. Blend it out and your done. Setting it with powder is purely optional because of its beautifully natural finish. As an oily-cannoli, I set it with my Revlon PhotoReady powder. Covergirl Natureluxe Silk Foundation has been really good with oil-control. I don't find myself getting as oily when I use it. I truly hope Covergirl expands this line and adds more products besides the Naturelux foundation and lip balm. A finishing powder and/or concealer would be great, too. Just a hint :0) There's a wide variety of shades available - 12 in total. GRW is using Nutmeg #360. Stay tuned as I will post more pics wearing this foundation.

    I tried this as a free sample through the mail and I loved it! it is creamy and super light and it felt like i had nothing on! It made skin super soft, aswell- it felt like i was putting on a moisturizer, yet the coverage was great. If it wasn't so expensive, i'd buy it, but $10 is too steep for me. With the right coupons and a sale price though, it'd be a steal!

    I am usually skeptical about the quality and effectiveness of drugstore brands, but this product certainly opened my eyes.

    The product itself is a thin with a gel-cream texture and blended into my skin very effortlessly. It felt exceptionally light on my skin, leaving a semi-matte finish and light coverage that evened out my generally clear skintone without looking cake-y or overdone. I chose the lightest shade, 305 alabaster, and it was an excellent match for my fair pink-toned complexion. Overall, it definitely feels a lot more expensive than its $14 price tag.

    The one thing I did not like about this product was the smell. I don't generally mind the smell of most foundations, but this took that "medicinal lotion" type smell and added a sickly sweet fake cucumber scent overtop. This did tend to fade away as the day went on, but I was not a fan of the smell, especially early in the morning. Without the smell, I am sure this would be a holy grail product for me.

    Additionally, I found these to be very pink-toned, especially the light to medium shades. This was not a problem for me, since I do have pink undertones, but for those with yellow or beige undertones, it may not match so well.

    I am really loving this foundation...although I don't think I would categorize this product as a foundation, but more of a tinted moisturizer. Either way, I think it's still very good. The smell is so fresh; it's described by Covergirl as "enriched with hints of natural jojoba, rosehip & seal buckthorn extracts." It also has SPF10 which is great in a foundation. I use the colour Bamboo, number 315, which is a little bit darker than my "winter" skin tone, but I found that I don't look two-toned comparing my face to my neck; the product gives my face a little glow instead. I also don't use a brush when I put on this foundation. I just work it over my face using my fingertips. With other products, I've noticed that most of the product tends to come off more on my fingertips rather than on my face, but not with Natureluxe. I was actually surprised at how great the coverage was. I would say it's a light-medium coverage, but more medium than light (if that makes any sense).
    Overall, great product. Maybe a little bit expensive, but I will definitely repurchase. I think this product would be great for summer too! Can't wait :)
