First Impression of CoverGirl LashBlast Clump Crusher

The new CoverGirl LashBlast line came out with the Clump Crusher which is the green tube and you can find this at most or all drugstores now! 
I purchased mine at Walgreens for $8.99 .44 fl oz in Very Black.
Claims to give you 200% more volume and 0 clumps of course Clump Crusher!
The curve brush features a lash loading section to saturate lashes with loads of product and fine-tooth comb bristles to evenly distribute mascara.
My first impression of this product when I tried it on my bare lashes were... IT IS AWESOME! It gave me so much volume and there was no clumps! Suprise suprise! It looks natural, no spider looking lashes, coated evenly and some length but overall really am loving this mascara so far!
Review will be in in a few weeks!

CoverGirl Outlast Stay Fabulous 2 in 1 Foundation

The new CoverGirl Outlast Stay Fabulous 3 in 1 foundation in drugstores today are offered in 15 shades! The foundation claims to have an all in one formula that primes, conceals and foundation in one foundation. The formula also has an SPF of 20, which is really great but may have a small white cast with flash photography. All day wear long, smooth and flawless shine-free finish. The foundation I purchased was at Walgreen for $11.99, and occasionally they will have the CoverGirl line for buy one get one 50% off so check for that!
The packaging is great, in glass container with a pump! WOHOO! It seems to have pretty good coverage from light to medium, feeling creamy and not too liquidy or not too dry but feels like a powder. It has an airbrush look to it and is build-able the more you put on. But it evens out my skin and did not break me out for having acne prone, combination skin. In my opinion this foundation makes me feel a tiny bit oily so I absolutely apply powder on after the application of foundation. The formula oxidizes over time, meaning it will turn darker. The color does transfer because it has transferred on the collar of my shirt. I never liked CoverGirl even younger, but this foundation is awesome. It feels nice on the skin and evens out my skin. It gives me skin a flawless look and has an amazing lasting power. I hope you liked this review and that it gave you enough information on the product!
Here is the swatch on the forehand. This is the shade 810 in Classic Ivory

CoverGirl LipPerfection Jumbo Gloss Balm

Hello!

I am reviewing the new CoverGirl LipPerfection Jumbo Gloss Balm in the shade 235 - Coral Twist. I bought this at Walgreen 2 weeks ago for retailing about $7. It claims that it is a sheer color and soft shine gloss balm. This is similar to the many other chubby sticks such as Revlon's Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains, Neutrogena's MoistureSmooth Color Sticks and more. It does twist up just like the other chubby sticks and the shade's names end with ___ Twist.
The packing is decent. The only bad side is that when you first purchase it, it comes in a plastic wrapping which has the name of the shade, which will most likely end up in the trash. So you would have to remember the shade name, search it up, or just remember the number of the shade on the bottom. With the twistable application, the tip does dull over time of usage. The good thing about this is that when you twist them up all the way, you can twist it down! I believe compared to the rest of the chubby sticks, the CoverGirl has the most with 3.8 grams (.13oz). The color pay-off is sheer but yet build-able I have semi-dry lips so I would have to exfoliate my lips or apply chapstick prior to application of the gloss balm or the color will end up in the cracks of my lips. They are moisturizing and the stain does remain on my lips but the color is less true to itself after several hours. By the way these do transfer but not as much since it is a sheer color.
To sum it up, it is an overall great gloss balm/stain. It is not sticky, it does not slide around, pretty moisturizing and does leave a stain after a few hours. I do believe these are fine for everyday use and a mini confidence booster especially with the brighter colors. I use this at least 2-3 times out of the week just because it gives me more color to my lips. Well I hope you liked my review and it gives you some information about the CoverGirl LipPerfection Jumbo Gloss Balm.
