CoverGirl NatureLuxe Foundation Review

Hello dolls!  Remember when I blogged about the EOS sale at Wags?  Here is what I used my $4 Register Rewards for:

CoverGirl products were buy one get one half off at Wags, so I took my coupon for $5 off any two CG Natureluxe foundations and stacked it with the sale along with my two $4 register rewards.  I literally paid next to nothing for these!  Was especially curious about these because cutie-patootie Taylor Swift is the spokesmodel for this brand.

I have found it easier to buy two different shades when products are on sale and custom mix my own shade than try to match myself. lol.  These come in a squeeze bottle with a twist off cap and are infused with jojoba, rose hips and cucumber extract.  I don't really pick up a scent from it when I used it- it just smells clean.  Not bothersome to me.

Anyways, I wore this foundation yesterday for the first time and I have mixed feelings.  The foundation itself is very creamy and consistent.  I used my Elf stipple brush to apply this instead of a sponge.  This foundation only offered me medium coverage.  I could still see some acne marks and scars so I went back in with my concealer and touched up those areas.  Also did a light dusting with my translucent powder from Rimmel to set everything.

Here I am, wearing CoverGirl NatureLuxe foundation in #350, Oak.  Originally thought that this might be too dark but I have gotten some sun and the shade now works for me. 

So what did I not like?  How it actually felt on my face- slick, tacky to the touch, and greasy.  A couple of hours into the wear, I noticed oil accentuation around my t-zone.  I applied another light dusting of the translucent powder to counter this and blotted with 2 oil sheets.  But, much to my dismay, I noticed another greasy t-zone while shopping later that day.  I hate that.  :/

I find that most liquid foundations don't do anything for me and I am very sad that these were a miss as well.  These would probably work better for someone who is looking for fair to medium coverage and doesn't have problematic skin, i.e. scars, acne and/or oiliness.  Not for me.

Love,
