i think the cover girl whipped foundation is a creamy texture whereas the maybelline one is a thicker, "mousseier" consistency. if you want reviews on both, check out Makeupalley - Street Smart Beauty - Homepage =)

I love my Covergirl Clean makeup, I've been using it for about six moths now and no breakouts! I use the fragrance free version because my skin is very sensitive. I also like my Wetslicks Fruit Spritzers lipgloss too - it smells awesome and is really shiny, but not sticky at all The one product that I don't like the VolumeExact mascara because it dries out my lashes and eyes and makes them sting, which is weird. Sure, it adds plenty of volume but it's not worth the discomfort.

Aqua Smooth foundation. I cannnot say enough good things about this. It has the coverage of mac studio tech, but it cleared up my skin totally and was a fraction of the price of studio tech. My face at the beginning looked horrible. I was using studio fix fluid. My face had all kinds of pimples. then My friend suggested i try it and i could tell after one application my face was less oily and not irritated. Within a week my face had healed and now it is so smooth. I love it, I buy a backup all the time! Go and try it for the money it's worth it.

but i heard aquasmooth wasn't oil-free? but maybe i'll have to try it =)
does it have any weird smell to it?

[Obreathemykiss]

Most Covergirl shadows are really great...they usually don't crease. They do tend to break, however. I've done this I don't know how many times...

Last night, I ran out of mascara and found a new kind of CG. It's called Lash Blast.

Let me tell you, the brush is huge and it gave me lots of last definition! No clumps, and all the the lashes are individual, not all clumped together. I got length too. I would recommend it.

i'm not sure if it is oil free, but oil cuts oil so that could be the reason it works well on my skin. And i love it because it smells like absolutely nothing.

I don't really like Cover Girl. The fruit spritzers are alright.

My mom's been using it all her life and she has barely any wrinkles, so that's another plus. I don't really like my VolumeExact mascara because it dries my lashes and eyes out and makes them sting, which is weird. Sure, it adds a lot of volume but it's not enough to sacrifice my lash comfort for lol. I have higher hopes for Lashblast, which I want to buy SOON. But I adore my Wetslicks Fruit Spritzers, it smells awesome and adds the perfect glow, the only downside is the seal on it so it doesn't leak is busted oh well at least it's cheap

Has anyone tried the Lashblast? I hear it leaves your lashes soft but I don't know.

I have the lastblast...in the orange tube. I've been using it for like 2 weeks now. I like it okay. I loved it the first few days, but I don't know if I love it so much now. It's not a mascara I would use everyday. The

[NYDoll88]

I really love CG...IMO, it's a fantastic line. The makeup is good-quality and inexpensive!

I'm deeply, utterly, head-over-heels in love with the Cheekers blush in Snow Plum. I use it as a highlighter on the tops of my cheekbones. I'm addicted to it. It gives you the perfect barely there shimmer. It lasts forever too. I've had mine since August I think, use it everyday and I can't even see pan!

I also really like their new Wetslicks Fruit Spritzers. I have it in Fig and Guava. They're really pretty---not sticky at all with good color payoff. And they smell delicious. Perfect to keep in your purse for touchups.

Lash Blast is really amazing too. I'm a mascara freak and it really gives you thick, dark, volumized lashes. The packaging is cute too and it's easy to find in your makeup bag.

However, Lash Exact and Volume Exact are horrible. No color payoff, it makes me look like I'm not wearing any mascara. My eyelashes look wimpy and limp. Ick!

[Rennah]

I LOVE wetslicks fruit sprizter in papaya splash. It's sooo yummy and pretty.

Also, LashBlast mascara rocks!

Yeah Lash Exact was terrible imo...with Volume Exact I could actually tell that I was wearing mascara but it didn't really make a huge difference in terms of volume (or length)...and they flaked like crazy!

[Traversant]

TRUconceal concealer is awful. It's way too watery to provide any real coverage, waste of money.

Fruit Spritzers are GREAT! They smell so yummy and aren't sticky. I got them BOGO at Wal-greens yesterday... want to go back and buy them all

CG Smoothers tinted moisterizer is fantastic too.

Lash Exact mascara, personally I LOVE it, I am going to buy it again when time comes. People complain about not getting much product, but I personally don't use more than 4ml before it's time to pitch it anyway.

i tried those the firecracker trio and tropical fusion!they are very sheer!even with a base so im taking them back.i really wanted them to work though because those are pretty colors

[CherryPopsicle]

I love CG Lash Blast more than I love Diorshow!

[poetic_slut]

The last two colors in the tropical fusion pallet is amazing in my opinion.
I got mine for free with a coupon w00t.
But yeah, I love the green/blue color.
Its craaaazy bright man.

[ksaelee]

i don't like any of the lipglosses, they taste like plastic and have a plastic type smell to them...but i don't know about the fruit spritzers, i hear they are good...
the aquasmooth foundation was good, but the color i bought was too pink for me...it looks like the majority of the foundations tend to have the cool tones...
i would say their eyeshadows are pretty good color wise, but they always creased on me...
i don't own anymore CG stuff anymore

AQUASMOOTH USERS!!!

Just out of curiosity, what shade do you use? I bought it the other day in "Natural Ivory" (the "Ivory" actually looked darker to me!) and it looks somewhat orange on my skin in day light. It looked nice in artificial lighting and it covered up my problem areas very nicely (and it felt good too) but when I tested a tiny bit to my jaw line it looked orange. Maybe I didn't blend it enough or anything?

I'm really pale

[SparklingWaves]

I am NW15 and I can wear Cover Girl TRUblend 405 (Ivory). It's a great match. It comes in a pump and looks great.

[widdershins]

Has anyone tried the new mascara? I think it's called Exact Eyelights, and there are different colors depending on what color your eyes are. I got Black Sapphire because my eyes are blue and I really like it. It doesn't really build volume, but it really defines and lengthens my lashes.

I dunno about the color enhancing my eye color, but it has really subtle sparkles in it I like.

I have all of the Lashblast Eye Enhancers Eyeshadows and they are so amazing!! I fell in love with Firecracker when I first got it and I'm in love with all of them now.

Their dynamite drama is one of my top three favorite drugstore palettes ^,^

[GlamQueen21]

Have you guys heard of a new Lashblast mascara called Lashblast Luxe? I saw it in my Seventeen magazine and I really do want to try it out so badly! It has shimmers to brighten up your eye color.

[Meisje]

Is is just me, or are their eyeshadows all very sheer?


Eye Enhancers

I have the eye enhancers in Tropical Fusion (the dark blue, teal, orange, poison green quad) and I love the colors but it's not heavily pigmented. Putting TFSI under it helps and makes it last (without base, it's gone in an hour or so).

I have a discontinued Eye Enhancers in a bunch of taupe shades. I went to repurchase and it's not there. Pity because I liked the shades. One is great to fill my brows.


Blush

I bought the Dream Matte Mousse and although the color is amazing, but I tried it over and under my foundation and powder in various ways and it just fades on me within a couple hours.

So I tried the powder blush nearest the color, which was Cheekers in Plumberry Glow and it's a great colors for blondes with blue eyes and pale skin. Every time I put it on people say "oh, you look so healthy!" Even if I've been up all night. Try it if you're Charlize Theron colored (sans when she's fake baked, of course).

I tried the Instant Cheekbones blush trio and the colors are werid, they streak and don't blend well --- even though the darkest shade is close to Plumberry Glow, they look dreadful on me. I tried all manner of blending and no matter what, the blush looks like Angela's from Who's The Boss. The color is either Purely Plum or Pearly Plum --- the actual name wore off and it's abbreviated over the bar code. Two thumbs down for that one.
