has anybody every tried their powder foundations (fresh complexion pocket powder or simply powder foundation? not interested in the trublend at all, i heard their shades were too orangey). both of them had a lot of good reviews on MUA but also a lot of...crappy reviews as well.

The only Covergirl product I really use is the Eyeslicks. They are simalar to Mac Shadesticks but they are so much better as a base. Shadesticks crease waaayy to much but the Eyeslicks keep my shadow put all day and I've never had creasing with them.

yes actually i went to CVS today and saw them there - unfortunately they didn't have very many left in stock, but i decided to pick one up in guava splash (light sparkly pink) and it smells WONDERFUL - it smells more like watermelon IMO, but whatever. it's a very pretty gloss and it isn't sticky at all, i'm VERY impressed

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 =)

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.

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!

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!

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!

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.

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