Covergirl + Olay = Great Idea

You've heard of Covergirl, right? What about Olay?

Now have you heard of them combined together in the same product? Hmmm....interesting, right?

Well, I hadn't heard about it until I received this complimentary BzzAgent Campaign box! It has the Covergirl + Olay Simply Ageless Wrinkle Defy Foundation for me to test out & review! So of course, that is exactly what I have been doing. As soon as I opened the box, I wanted to see what this was all about. The shade is Buff Beige.

Here is my quick unboxing & review video:

PROS:
• Loved the texture. It's creamy and applies so smoothly almost creating a layer over my skin.
•  Great coverage & definitely build-able (apply more as needed)
• They have different shades to choose from. (The shade I got does seem to be too light for my skin tone). 
• It has a light feel, so I don't feel it looks "cakey".
• Pretty packaging.

CONS:
• Sponge has a strange scent, but thankfully it doesn't get on my skin & I can always use another applicator.
• I get the white (kind of ghostly) hue when I take a picture using the flash, but as you can see from the picture below, it looks great without the flash.


Thanks to BzzAgent for sending me another complimentary product to test out & review!

REVIEW: Maybelline SuperStay #BetterSkinChallenge Foundation

I completed the Maybelline 3 week #BetterSkinChallenge & wanted to share my results with you as promised in a previous blog post! I've been sharing small updates throughout the process on my Instagram, but now that I've reached the end of the 3 weeks, I can give you guys a more detailed review.

Bottom Line: I love the Maybelline SuperStay Foundation!
Here's a list of things I love about it:

  • Matte Finish
  • SPF 15
  • Oil Free
  • Has Actyl-C (a more durable form of Vitamin C)
  • Long Lasting (stays on all day)
  • Pump Dispenser
  • Blends easily into my skin
  • Build-able coverage
  • Lightly scented
  • Great formula & consistency

Watch my 3 week journey as I test out the Maybelline SuperStay Better Skin foundation.

There were only 2 things I didn't like so much, but they both have easy solutions.

Photo taken with flash
1) The complimentary shade I received "Nude Beige" has a bit of an "orangey" hue for my taste, but I easily fixed that by using a bronzer to achieve a more "brownish" tone. Since they have 12 shades available to choose from, I'm sure I'll find one that matches my skin even better!

2) I also noticed that when I took pictures using flash, my face looked "white-ish", but that also had an easy fix...I didn't use the flash when taking most of the pictures. 

And as far as having "Better Skin", I definitely felt my skin looked great & wasn't irritated after I removed the foundation each night. Also, didn't feel like it was "drowning" under the layers of foundation when I applied it. To summarize, this is going to be a foundation I definitely recommend if you like having a "matte" look which is my favorite!
