i think i'll have to go out and buy more. i wish they were a *little* cheaper, tho. i paid $5.99 for mine @ CVS which isn't too bad, but when you plan on buying multiple glosses it just adds up.

oy...I might as well rattle off what I love:

Liquid Trublend foundation [toasted almond] - hot stuff. lasts me all day and evens out the skin tone - makes me look truly flawless! :]

Lash Exact [blackest black] - I can actually get a feathery lash look with this, or I can go bold - sometimes, it even looks as if Ive got on falsies - that brings me such joy...

Cheekers Blush [Soft Sable]- too light on me as blush, so I used it as a highlighter - not too shabby!

Wetslicks - used to have it, but I have it to a friend like a dunce. It was a great gloss, but it just wasnt my shade. but it lasted forever and smelled great.

Lipslicks [hipster] - love it. gives my lips that barely there tint. feels like a lipstick, looks like a wash - unless I add more for boldness, which is fab.

blah...I bet this is long...but they are my fav! ^.^

Terrible! I missed my fantastic lash very much

Ew ew ew! I hate that stuff. My mother uses it too.

CoverGirl has some pretty good sheer lipsticks and some pretty good pressed and loose powders.

i've never tried the sheer lipsticks (i'm not big on lipstick lol) but their pressed powders are pretty good.

does anyone have any thoughts on the trublend liquid foundation (the one with the pump dispenser)? i heard it's oil-free and won't clog your pores and cause breakouts, and i'm searching for a nice drugstore foundation with just that. there were mixed reviews on MUA so i figured i'd come here and ask =)

[PolyphonicLove]

thats actually my HG foundation - lasts me forever, doesnt smudge on my clothes or anything. as a girl with wicked oily skin and large pores, it is hard for me to find a decent foundation, and even hardner to find one for my skintone as a girl of colour. but not only did they have my shade, its perfect for my skin type. so I'd totally rec this stuff for you.

[LaChinita]

Has anybody ever tried Cover Girl's Color Squeeze? You squeeze the color out from a little tube thing...

I found them at a dollar tree and got two of their colors-- aqua and a light blue one. The light blue one was very pigmented and cute! On my lids they look more silver, though. As for the aqua, it looked watered down and you could barely see the color if u don't layer it.

I was just wondering what ur experience is with them if u've ever tried them. I tried using them as a base and they didn't work...it's crease city!!!

i've never tried them (and they've been discontinued i believe, because i haven't seen them on store shelves for a very long time) and i heard they crease like maaaaaad (as with all cream shadows!) so i stayed away. *however* one cream shadow that does work pretty good are the wet n wild ones - they make fantastic bases, better than MAC paints IMO. i heard they're being discontinued tho, so if you find some grab them and stock up b/c that might be the last time you'll ever see them!

CG mascara is FANTASTIC~ I've used the lash exact and volume exact both, and they were great. I'm not big on foundation, but I'd like to try the whipped foundation. I have pale skin and it seems like everything I try is too dark or heavy!

[mello]

I use CG's Professional Loose Powder in translucent medium, aswell as their Tru Blend pressed powder in translucent medium (for touch ups during the day). I love both, they work fairly well. The tru blend really matches my skin tone and goes on great. It gets rid of shine and feels very silky on my face. I also use some of their concealers. Not sure which ones right now. I've used some of their eyeshadows and they're pretty good, can't complain. I think my friend owns a shade that looks very similar to MAC.
I haven't tried any lipglosses by CG yet, but after reading posts I'll definitely have to give them a try. Same with the lash exact mascara!

[friend_of_MAC]

I also use the fresh complexion concealer in "soft honey". I think it works pretty good.

[drlake66]

I really love Cover Girls Outlast lipsticks. I have quite a collection. And their TruBlend powder foundation in Buff Beige looks great on me (so does the liquid, but I prefer the powder). And the Wet Slicks lipglosses have found their way into my makeup collection too.

I think Cover Girl has really made strides in improving their products. I've been impressed with a lot of their stuff lately, especially for the prices.

well it got really good reviews on MUA, so i decided to try it.....it was pretty expensive for a drug store mascara (close to $10 @ CVS). i laughed when i saw the ridiculously large orange tube. the brush itself is similar to the VolumeExact and LashExact brushes, but large and fat...it takes some time getting used to. as for the effect of the mascara....imo it didn't do much. maybe i didn't apply enough or something but it looked like i was wearing LashExact....no clumps or anything and it lengthened my lashes but nothing in terms of volume. i'll stick with my VolumeExact i think, even tho that isn't really that volumizing imo either - it's like LashExact but with more "oomph" to it. i suggest trying the LashBlast mascara tho - everyone is different!

[lovesittxx]

I was so disappointed in Lash Blast It wasn't awful, but it wasn't spectacular either, like I thought it would be. It was just eh for me....So sad. I will stick to Lash Exact.

[shortcake]

I love Volume Exact mascara! It's the only CG product I've ever tried, but it's awesome- loads of volume, no clumps!!!

[MAC_Newbie]

I haven't seen anyone mention the CG Tru Shine lipsticks, and these are really great. I have two of them, one a peach shade and one a wine shade. They are supposed to match 97% of people's skintone, or something crazy like that. They're pretty moisturizing though, and leave a glossy finish. Hope that helps someone!

I've never posted a photo on here, but let me try to figure it out!

[snugglebunny]

does anyone know what the ingredients are in CG's lashblast? I'm allergic to some ingredients and definitely would like to know what's in there before I consider buying it.

I've been wanting those lash exact and all the other plastic bristle wands, but they all seem to have a form of sulfa in them, which i'm allergic to, so if anyone can post up the ingredients list, i'd greatly appreciate it!

thanks in advance

LASH EXACT mascara(in the purple tube) I have other covergirl items... not that great but lash exact is wonderful!!!!!

[SerenityRaine]

My mother got me a tube of Lash Blast. Just tried it out for the first time today. For the mascaras with plastic bristles it was the most voluminous! My only issue is that as I put it on it lined my eyes and I wasn't wanting liner today.

I guess I`ll share how I feel about covergirl, umm their fruit spritzers are ok but the don`t last long and it`s just a hint of color, which i was dissapointed about because i only bought it for the ad rihanna did. the wetslicks i like not the crystals so much maybe because the color i have is a really light pink it`s too much glitter for me. I like the TruShine Lipsticks the don`t fade right away and their glossy. I also like thier Outlast Double LipShine the last super long but you can remove them eaiser with vaseline or eye makeup remover, the trick to getting them on is to put the top and let it dry completly, which doesn`t take that long, then apply the top coat.

Here`s some pictures I took ( thier not that good i couldn`t take them in natural light because it`s night time )


- From Left To Right -
Wetslicks Crystals in Crush, Wetslicks in Peaches n` Gleam, Wetslicks Fruit Spritzers in Rasberry Shine, Wetslicks Fruit Spritzers In Guava Splash, Outlast Double LipShine in Antique Rose, Outlast Double LipShine in Power Pink, TruShine in Watermelon Shine ( Which if you wanted the Rihanna Look I would suggest this with Rasberry Shine on top ), TruShine in Peach Shine . I couldn`t find Wetslicks Iced Berry I`ll try do better swatches in the morning .

I currently use the CG TruBlend whipped foundation (loooove it mixed with some moisturizer, goes on light and easy) and the Fresh Complexion concealer - both in classic ivory. But my two favourite CG products are my mascara (Fantastic Lash, makes my lashes sooo long and dark) and my various lipglosses, all CG Smoothwear Liptints. I f%#!'n love those lipglosses. I rave about them to anyone that will listen. The colours are great, just the right amount when you want shine with a bit of colour. I'm wearing "hint of honey" in my profile pic. HIGHLY recommended for anyone!

What CG products have you tried/love/hate?

Is the whipped foundation exactly like the Maybelline version?
