Okay, so for the most part, this blog has been dedicated to the products I have been asked to try as a BzzAgent. I really should change the name, I mean, this stuff is not "Useless Knowledge". Oh No! It's actually quite "Usefull" knowledge! I'm going to look into that, and beings as I have exactly...0 followers, it shouldn't be too hard to notify everyone!
Well today is no different! I was asked to try CoverGirl and Olay Tone Rehab 2 in 1 Foundation/Base in buff beige #125, and the Tone Rehab Pressed Powder. First of all, let me say, I love CoverGirl!!! I have fond memories of using CoverGirl Clean Makeup and Pressed Powder as a young girl, and I have used CoverGirl since. I recently switched to a mineral make-up (by CoverGirl) because I wanted something not so "heavy" feeling, and while I liked the mineral type of make-up, I found it lacking in the coverage dept., especially when I needed a little extra help covering up signs of a breakout.
First thoughts upon opening the bottle and compact, Mmmm, they smell fantastic! If you've used CoverGirl, ever, you know what I'm talking about! It smells clean, fresh, even a little invigorating. I applied the foundation first, of course, and I immediately noticed how lightweight is was, silky even, it was lovely. After I applied the foundation to my entire face and a little down the neck, I took a good look at myself. Let me just say, I could've thrown on some mascara and lip gloss, and stopped there. My face looked youthful, clear and I know this will sound cheesy, but it looked dewy. Yes, dewy! I was in love again with a liquid foundation! The best part was that I could have the lightweight feel on my skin and the coverage I also need. The CoverGirl and Olay pressed Powder just brought it all home and finished me up. It gave my face a nice matte look, not all shiny, and kept the shine down throughout the rest of the day. I wear make-up maybe 2-3 times a week so I can't really attest to it actually improving my skin, but to be fair, if CoverGirl and Olay say it will, I gotta believe it will! To sum it all up, I give this product an A+, and will continue to use, which is huge for me, I mean, that's quite an accomplishment CoverGirl!!!!
