BzzAgent Review: Covergirl NatureLuxe Makeup

I was very impressed with this foundation. As someone who can't go a day without seeing red, blotchy patches on my face, it's a continual struggle to find a foundation that not only covers the redness but also doesn't make me break out. I've had the best luck with mineral-based foundations in the past so I wasn't expecting much from Covergirl's latest brand. But Natureluxe actually provides a good amount of coverage, matching my skin tone really well and staying on for hours.

The brand's claim that it is the lightest makeup you will use is absolutely true. Even my tried and true mineral foundation starts feeling like it's cracking around 4:30 pm, but the Natureluxe is absolutely light and airy and fresh all day long. My only complaint is that it definitely starts to wear off a lot sooner than would be useful, but I use it when I'm just going to be around the house or running a few errands rather than going to work where I rely on my "real" makeup.

A good product from a good brand; I even like the way it smells! All around goodness. I enjoyed it immensely and suggest it for people who don't like it when they can feel their makeup on their face. I can almost verify that you won't feel this one.

BzzAgent Review: CoverGirl Lip Perfection

I recently joined BzzAgent and got my first free sample, CoverGirl's new Lip Perfection line of lipsticks. I got two colors: Fervor and Sweetheart.

Fervor is the color I requested as it's the one closest to my own lip color. I don't often wear lipstick (gloss is more my speed... chapstick is even closer) so I was excited to try it.

Here's my sample stick. It lives in my bag with the chapstick, I like it so much.

Overall, I've been very pleasantly surprised by the quality, color-last, and even taste of this lipstick. If I apply it in the morning, the color lasts all the way through lunch and is pretty much still there even after I eat. And maybe I am new to the world of lipstick, but the fact that the lid clicks into place is awesome. Checking the price on Google, it looks like they're going for around $5 which is a steal for a lipstick that works really well.

The CoverGirl claim, that you will have more beautiful lips after 7 days, is the only thing I haven't really been able to confirm. I have been wearing the lipstick consistently, but, like all lipsticks I wear, I've found that ultimately my lips dry out and crack leading me back to my gloss as opposed to reapplying Fervor. I don't know if that's just a by-product of my stupid-dry skin or if I'm the 1 out of 10 the claim isn't true for, but this isn't enough of a  reason not to use Lip Perfection.

Overall, I give this product 4.5 out of 5 stars. The quality, color, and clicking lid more than make up for the product's shortcomings.
