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...

Dr. Scholl's Actives for Her (Brought to you by Influenster)

Time for another Influenster review! This time its a one product review box, I've only done these for Influenster. I know some people get the themed Voxboxes with all the fun goodies, but I tend to only qualify for the one brand review ones. Its all good though, I still enjoy them and love trying free stuff! Even if I do end up giving it all away like I did my Mary Kay stuff (sans the Lash Primer). For this box I qualified to receive a free pair of Dr. Scholl's Active Series Inserts for Her. They retail for $19.99 at Target and $24.99 at Walgreens.  A little pricey for just one pair of insoles, but then again if you work out a lot or are just a sneaker fan in general, you may want to invest in a pair of quality insoles; not only for comfort, but also to extend the life of your sneaks (trainers, for those across the pond). The 'Her' insoles will be for shoe sizes 5.5-8 & 8.5-11, and the 'Him' insoles will fit 7.5-10 & 10.5-13. They are easy to be shap...

Getting it done!

A Book with More Than 500 Pages: The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest by Stieg Larsson A Book Set in Another Country: The Girl Who Played with Fire by Stieg Larsson A Book That was Originally Written in a Different Language: The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest by Stieg Larsson A Book Written by an Author with the Same Initials: The Girl Who Played with Fire by Stieg Larsson A Book You Started but Never Finished: The Girl Who Played with Fire by Stieg Larsson I know that this is probably a lot of cheating, like a lot a lot, but these two books covered everythingggg. Its most likely also cheating because I listened to both of these books on "tape". Why would I do such a thing like that? Because I found the first book ( The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo ) incredibly difficult to read. The books are translate from Swedish and I appreciate the time it must take to actually do that, but sometimes the sentence structure isn't always how I would like it to be. Any ...
