New Product Review: Covergirl Outlast Stay Fabulous Foundation

A Month of so ago I signed up for BzzAgent, which is an online perks site. You take surveys to build up a "bzz score" in good standing, and in return are asked to participate in product tests. After filling out every survey on their site, I was selected to participate in their newest campaign with Covergirl. Covergirl is my absolute favorite (besides NYX) drugstore brand! I eagerly anticipated my redemption coupon in the mail and at long last I received. I hurried off to CVS to try it out and here I am.

Covergirl's latest venture into foundation is Outlast Stay Fabulous. Billed as a 3 in 1 product to cut out some pesky extra steps. The steps you are supposed to take out is the act of putting on primer (which helps your foundation stay on longer) and any touch-ups with a concealer. To really test it out I did not use any extra concealer, nor did I use a primer. I have to say that it reminded me a bit of Revlon Colorstay, but it did not dry as fast. Which is great because you had more time to work with it. It is definitely a bit thicker than most foundations (thicker than cg's clean makeup for reference), but also not as heavy as some may feel on your skin.
It felt great going on without a primer. I have very oily skin and tend to get shiny very quickly, but this one kept me shine free for about 3 hours. Which is about as much time as it would take me to get oily with a primer. It did not cover all of my imperfections though. I was a little sad about that because putting on concealer is an "ugh" step. I even took a stippling brush and tried to blend more over the area, but it did not work (I originally applied it with a foundation brush). So if you're suffering from a random breakout, or have any imperfections on your skin you usually use concealer for, you might want to still break it out. It also did not cover freckles or dark spots if that is a problem for you.

Did not cover freckles or blemishes. 
Like I said I'm in love with Covergirl foundation. I've only met one in their whole line that I didn't like. I love it mostly because of the color; I am (buff biege) which is a perfect match for me. Covergirl foundation colors tend to be on the pink or cool side in the lighter versions. So if you're fair/light tone and on the warm/neutral side you might have a problem finding a perfect match. Also if you're darker toned fear not CG has an additional line called "Queen Collection", which is meant just for you ladies. I'm really liking the feeling of it on my skin and its definitely a new favorite of mine. I hope after my skin has cleared up that it will give me a bit more coverage. Overall I had a very good first experience with this product. I don't think it delivered on on 3 promises, but definitely on 2. Stay fabulous will indeed help you stay and feel fabulous all day!


That's all for now! I'm working on a couple of book reviews. I have a lot to get through before I start my summer reading list. It's stressing me out a little but I'm working on it. Until next time!

The Selection Series by Kiera Cass

I don't think it's any surprise that I love meself some YA! I think I was introduced to a blurb about The Selection series in Newsweek ...kidding it was an issue of Seventeen I was reading at the Dentist? Whatever it doesn't matter, all you need to know is that its awesome! A Dystopian America that's now a smaller fragile absolute monarchy and has a caste system??? Uh yes please! The series (originally a trilogy) is narrated by America Singer, a 5 (there are 8 castes) who lives in post WW3 (could be WW4 I honestly don't remember) Illea province named Carolina. As Artists, 5's are 3rd from the bottom in the caste system. I would equate them to the typical American family today, not well off, but they feel the struggle of staying afloat throughout the year. As per tradition with all the Princes of Illea a selection is held, where 35 girls throughout the kingdom compete for his hand in marriage. Kinda like The Bachelor meets The Hunger Games with less bloodshe...

Memoir of the Sunday Brunch by Julia Pandl

Woo Woo 2014, a month late but hey I'm a busy girl. So I've tackled the first book of the new year and it was Julia Pandl's Memoir of the Sunday Brunch.   Pandl a stand-up comic originally from the Milwaukee area tells, personal family tales of her sweet, but often failed childhood memories. From being the youngest of nine to free child-slave labor at her father's restaurant. Told in two parts, the first of funny brunch serving, sibling squabbles, and a lot of twitching; The second of more recent memories of caring for someone who once cared for you. Photo Courtesy of Goodreads.com "I thought my dad was just like every other dad, until the day I worked my first Sunday Brunch" Be prepared for the second half of the book to shock you emotionally. It goes from a funny eye rolling recount of childhood, transitioning into being an adult child with rapidly aging parents. The second half was particularly heartwarming and sweet. Of course there's still som...

Putting Some Positive Force Into My Life with my October 2015 Birchbox!

Birchbox yay! Not too bad of a box this month I have to say. Usually I have a lot of gripes about them, but I think 5 out of the 6 items (yes 6! I got a bonus this month) were really nice finds and I've already incorporated them into my beauty routine. So enough blabbering let's get to it! Borghese Fango Purificante Clay Cleanser/Full-size $30 This gentle foaming formula deep cleans like a mask as it soothes skin. I've never used a clay cleanser before, masks weekly, cleanser nope. I've always wanted to try Borghese, so this is the perfect sample for me. It comes in at 1 fl oz, which is your typical cleanser sample size, and I've been using it everyday since I got it! Which is odd because I typically just throw the cleansers I get from BB in a box of stuff I use for the gym or travel, I mean I didn't even use the Acure cleanser yet, sorry Acure. I was surprised that this was very liquidy, and it has a slight perfumey scent. Nothing overwhelming though and...
