RETAIL PRICE: Php 475.00

NET WEIGHT : 30 grams

SHADES : Available in more than 15 shades.

PROS:

* consistency is creamy

* easy to blend and does not dry out too fast

* has spf 10

* feels lightweight and moisturising. I think this is suited for dry to normal skintypes.

* did not fade or cake during the day

* medium-full coverage (buildable)

* did not break me out

* since this foundation is formulated for mature skin it does not settle into fine lines. I haven't noticed that it lessened my fine lines (under eyes) after application as what they claimed but this prevents my undereye concealer from caking.

* pot contains a lot of product

CONS:
* sadly this baby is now discontinued - but they replaced it with the Simply Ageless Foundation.

* if you're allergic to Olay - this contains Olay ingredients.

* smells like dishwashing liquid or shampoo

* pot packaging is not hygenic

TIPS:

I use a tiny spatula to scoop a little amount of product in the jar. I prefer to apply this foundation in "layers" (if you want full coverage) using a wedge sponge or foundation brush. Use a damp sponge if you want a sheer coverage. Set with loose powder.

ADDICTION FACTOR:

I really love the texture of this foundation! I first purchased Buff Beige but its a tad dark on me (sadly, there were no testers available) so I went back and purchased Ivory and thank goodness it matches my skintone. I also bought Soft Honey which can also be used for contouring.

RATING :
4 / 5

Review : Cover Girl Trublend Foundation in Ivory

Okay, this is my second attempt trying CG's Trublend foundie. The first one, I picked out the wrong shade - Natural Beige. It has a pinkish undertone that looks totally fake on my skintone!

She' s selling makeups for less. Click here to purchase.

WEIGHT : 30 ml

SHADES : Available 15 shades from Ivory (lightest) to Soft sable (darkest).

WHAT I LIKE:
* feels lightweight
* does not cake
* light coverage - you can't tell I'm wearing foundation
* no need to mix shades - Ivory matches my skintone
* packaging looks classy - with a glass pump bottle
* almost unscented
* its sheer but evens out my skintone
* ivory has a neutral beige undertone - neither pink or yellow
* no allergies
* its oil free - perfect for oily/combination skin

WHAT I DON'T LIKE:
* does not totally cover imperfections


TIPS:
Since this foundation has a light coverage, you can apply a powder foundation or mineral foundation on top to cover slight blemishes.
Even if a product is hypoallergenic, be sure to test it first on your jawline and neck to see if you're hiyang with it.

ADDICTION FACTOR:
Will repurchase. I'm inlove with this foundie!

RATING :
4 out of 5.

Covergirl Trublend Liquid Foundation in Ivory

Weekend mini haul

I bought these stuff last week from an online seller in Mutiply whom I met in a local forum.

Left to Right:

Cover Girl Tru Blend Foundation in Natural Ivory
> tested it first on my jawline to check whether am allergic to the product (thank goodness i'm not). I'm NC20-25 in MAC, the color matches my skin but has a little pink in it. I dunno if this will work.. Still have to test this on my entire face.. **crossing my fingers**

Cover Girl Advanced Radiance Age defying Concealer in Light Beige
> used this on my undereyes.. I just love the consistency of this concealer! It feels so light and very easy to blend. The shade is almost similar to MAC Select cover up in NC20. When I checked Cover Girl's site, this product is discountinued na pala! =(

Cover Girl Wetslicks Crystal Lipgloss in Hottie
> a no fuss, non-sticky, shiny lipgloss with sparkles! Not that long lasting though..

Wet n Wild "Wet Shine" Lipstick in Pink Shine
> love the color! Its a shiny light pink, my MLBB shade! (my lips but better shade). When applied on my lips, it doesn't feel heavy at all..

Bottom:

Avon Daring Curves Mascara in Black
> I asked my friend who's an Avon member to buy it for me. The brush looks new to me coz it has curves too! I'm dissapointed coz it didn't thicken my lashes. I'm still learning on how to apply this properly.

Eyemake Mirror

I'm clueless on how to use this one.. hehe. Bought it at a local department store..
