I bought the tropical quad and I was disappointed that I shelled out $5 for it..the colors don't show up for beans unless you use water or mixing medium

I just realized what I don't like about LashBlast.. it's not black enough!!!! I LOVE the way it goes on - it makes my lashes so full. But it's almost a charcoal colour. Is there any other mascara out there that has a similar effect but is more black?

 

[Amber*Christine]

I LOOOVE CG Lashblast mascara, makes my lashes long as falsies, and CG TruShine lipstick in "nude shine" and "valentine shine". Soo creamy and lovely. I'm going to buy some of their neutral eyeshadows next to try 'em out.

Before I started to take issue with animal testing, I wore a number of Cover Girl products. From that time in my life, one eyeshadow trio has remained in my collection (the rest went to a younger cousin or to the garbage) - Cover Girl Eye Enhancers in Golden Sunset 115. This trio is the perfect dupe for (from darkest to lightest) Bronze, Amber Lights and Skintone 2 (from Notoriety), Skintone 2 being similar to a number of other things in MAC's perm line.

Though I now opt for something else over Proctor and Gamble (Cover Girl) due to animal testing issues, I have to say that this trio applies beautifully and blends like a dream.

Has anyone tried their new version of Lash Blast but with a thinner brush/wand...I had seen it in the Allure magazine..the brush is a lot thinner and it does look promising..I want to try it..I surely didn't or don't like the CG Lash Blast. So maybe this will be much better.

I find that the Lashblast applies just as well as DiorShow does if you take care of your lashes well and wash it off at th end of the day. All of it. I use the Very Black shade and it's pretty much a true black, so I'm really happy with it. Another product I really like is the Amazemint glosses. Not the best for pigmentation, but they're great for every day or over lipsticks to add a wet look.

The classic clean liquid foundations are pretty good, but mostly would recommend for people that don't have loads of zits. Not that there is anything wrong with those who do. ^_~ I like their shimmery nude shades of eyeshadow and think they're good for every day just to add a little color and shape to your eyes. Most of the crazy colors came out sheer and were a little bit disappointing. I would probably buy the nude shadows if I ran out of the ones I'm using. Not before then, though. =P

Hi,

I am going to stop by the drugstore tomorrow and I am interested in getting Covergirl eyelights eyeliner in Vibrant Pearl because I have brown eyes...but to me it just looks like another black eyeliner! I might get it in the color for green eyes so I can try to bring out my eye color more, as my mom said sometimes my eyes look green (weird..)

Does anyone have any input on this product? TIA!

 

[luvsic]

UPDATE: I purchased CG eyelights eyeliner!! I have dark brown eyes and I purchased vivid ruby (for green eyes) and they BRIGHTEN them so much...they even photograph kind of a coppery brown. My eyes are still dark, but they have an eerie, beautiful glitter to them. I love the way they look and twinkle! I can't wait to see what they look like in natural lighting! 5/5 STARS!! I highly recommend the eyeliner.

I have to try out vivid pearl (black eyeliner, supposed to be for brown eyes) so we'll see!!

I don't know if I'm late on this, but did y'all realize that Covergirl lists its dupes for a variety of brands (e.g. MAC, YSL, Bobbi Brown, etc.) and a variety of products (e.g. l/s, foundation, etc.). I dunno how accurate it is though.

GET YOUR DEPARTMENT STORE SHADE MATCH

I really like their smoky eye shadow sticks. They go one way smoother then MAC shadesticks

 

[deemer]

My favorite favorite CG product is their Tinted Moisturizer! Have been using it since high school and haven't been able to tear myself away

 

[BEA2LS]

i got a triple blush it is called peach something or something peach. but i love it! the darkest shade is a ripe peach color, the middle is a pretty coral and the last is a pinky shade. it kinda got my lemmings for a coral blush outta my system lol. i would recommend.

 

[BEA2LS]

oh, also pink ciffon eyeshadow (which i know i spelled wrong

) is my HG for highlighter, i have a million and one high end eyeshadows and this is the one where i always hit the pan and always rebuy.

Really?? Oh no

Guess i won't be buying from them anymore.

So I've been using the Liquiline Blast eyeliner pencils for a couple of weeks or so now. They definitely are soft! I think they're comparable to the Urban Decay 24/7 pencils, which I personally don't like, so if I want another pencil ever... I might go with these.

I've tried Lash Blast (the original), Lash Exact, Volume Exact and Lash Blast Length. They're all pretty good mascaras, definitely have to say that Lash Blast was the best out of all of them, though.

I also have a Lemon fruit spritzer, and it smells really nice lol.

 

[Jewel7]

I own their translucent powder (loose) in honey.... and I loved it, but when I repurchased I noticed sparkles that I didn't initially notice.


I want to try some QUEEN COLLECTION products.

Sam Fine did a video for Essence - 5 tips for the New Year and I noticed he used the CG Queen Collection Bronzer. Has anyone tried them?

 

[shontay07108]

Even though I don't like Covergirl after several bad experiences, I took a chance on the Lip Perfection lipsticks today and they are awesome! I bought two from Rite Aid and I was so impressed, I ordered 3 more from Amazon. The 2 I have right now are #285 Temptation and #280 Rapture. They are smooth, pigmented and don't smell bad. I am very, very impressed.

 

[Allura Beauty]

I also have never been a huge fan of CoverGirl. But I recently bought the new lipsticks and the NatureLuxe foundation and was so impressed. The foundation surprised me the most--I really wasn't expecting anything great from it. But it's smooth, lightweight, and gives a very pretty finish. The lipsticks are very pigmented and smooth.

I'll upload swatches later in the product swatches section.
