Cover Girl Clean Foundation

from top shade 210 shade 220 with porcelain for color comparison

Heeeeeey Thuuuuuur! It's the return of Venus in Virgo! Eyzzz back...I hope everyone is having a great summer and had a blast on July 4th. Although I'm technically still on a hiatus I will be able to start posting regularly again and I have a ginormous amount of beauty-fashion news with tons of product reviews-tips and new features to post about. Including a heap of new product press info on Urban Decay Fall 2010 line sent to me a few days ago.It's total madness! I don't know how I'm going to get all this stuff on my little blog but hey it's a good thing I thrive in chaos...long live my ludicrous speed mode. Is anyone else melting in this shhmeltering 100 degree heat wave? Anyway-as promised before I left I said I was going to test out all the goodies that Cover Girl sent me so I will start my first post on Cover Girl Clean Foundation in the sensitive skin formula.My biggest concern was the shade match to my own skin and I'm glad I received a couple of different shades to try.First shade was 210 Classic Ivory-the second shade was 220 Creamy Natural.I also added a photo of L'oreal True Match that I wear to give you guys a picture of the shade differentiation as you can see in the photo how much lighter the L'oreal Porcelain shade that I use is.Let me just rule out the 220 right off the bat because it was too dark plus too beige-y on my skin.Classic Ivory 210 was much better even though still too beige on my. Yep,that's right I'm that light .I think I could get away with wearing this shade in the winter when your skin needs a bit more coloring.That's not a reflection on the foundation it's just a matter of getting the right shade and I believe Cover Girl makes a lighter Ivory in shade 205 but I didn't get that one-darn!.The formula itself is great.Very light and very build-able although if you don't get the right shade and you try to add more layers for coverage on a flaw it will show up. I loved how easily it blends while making your skin feel naked.It lasted all day and gave off a soft glow as this isn't a matte formula but it's not oily or greasy at all. Plus it didn't irritate or make my skin break out as I have sensitive skin. It's definitely a good quality find for a drug store brand as long as you find your exact color match.There's a lot more coming so stay posted xoxo
