COVERGIRL : Tru Blend Review

Cover Girl Tru Blend Liquid Foundation $19.95, Pressed Powder $18.95 and Fix Stick Concealer $14.95 available from www.priceline.com.au

My go to makeup items aren't always from expensive high end brands sometimes good things come with small price tags. I've been trialling the Cover Girl Tru Blend base products this month and I have to admit I've been very impressed at the overall formula and lasting power of these makeup kit staples. The Fix Stick Concealer is the star of the line for me, it's waxy formula is fantastic on my naturally oily/dewy skin for touch ups during the day. My skin gets a natural shine throughout the day and when touching up with a mattifying product it looks really out of place on my face, hello reverse panda eyes! 

The liquid foundation is a medium to high coverage on my skin, it is a great foundation for makeup beginners, my only gripe is I am in between colours and I need to blend 2 together to match my skin tone. 

Is anyone else really lazy with powder? It's my least used base product and by the time I get to this stage in applying my makeup I'm usually already 20mins late and so powder application is usually ditched. The Cover Girl Tru Blend Powder is a classic powder, nothing fancy just a straight up de-greasing compact that is very handy to throw in your handbag for daily use. 

All in all the Cover Girl Tru Blend range is a great budget friendly range of base products which could fit into your make up routine very easily. If you are an oily skinned babe like myself, the Fix Concealer is a must try!

Beauté Gazette's FRIDAY LIPSTICK JAM! Featuring CoverGirl + Phoenix + Blood Orange

CoverGirl's Lip Perfection Lipstick in 'Spellbound' $14.95 available from www.priceline.com.au

CoverGirl's Lip Perfection lipsticks are extremely underrated, I have hardly read anything about them on beauty blogs at all except that it is Taylor Swift's favourite lipstick. The formula is really easy to apply, not dragging or clinging to your lips even though it is quite thick and opaque once applied. The satin finish is really pretty and refreshing after the bombardment of matte lipsticks on the market. This is a good all rounder lipstick lasting well, doesn't dry out your lips and the colour is flawless and even across the whole lip. Spellbound is a flat-out blue based fuchsia with zero shimmer, it has a slightly 80's vibe which I am really into.

The Jam! Phoenix are a french band who make the most brilliant pop songs which I have had the best time dancing to for almost 10 years, 'If I ever feel better' reminds me of some of the best dance floor moments with my friend Hana. Blood Orange have remixed 'Entertainment' and I love it! It has been on every play list I have made for the past 2 months and I am not even close to getting over it. 

HAVE A BODACIOUS FRIDAY BABES!

Cover Girl Liquiline Blast Eye Liner

I have steered clear of liner for a while, freaked out I might cry and it will run down my face and also worried it made my eyes looked smaller. Applying the liner as a base for shadow close to the lash line  and tight lining (upper waterline) keeps eyes looking open rather than the traditional 90's Kohl waterline look which narrows the eyes. Cover Girl's Liquiline Blast is so creamy in texture, never have I found an eyeliner which blends so well even with fingers if you are stuck without a brush. So far I have picked up the Brown Blaze and Black Fire shades, and it is jet black, the blackest black.
