Anyone that reads my blog knows that I have no problem "playing favorites" but I am always willing to try something new, that's why I was excited when my BzzAgent assignment was COVERGIRL + OLAY Tone Rehab 2-in-1 Foundation & Pressed Powder.
As a kid I remember saving my allowance & buying my first bottle of foundation (accompanied with a grape roll-on lip gloss!) at probably age 10, it was Covergirl and it smelled vaguely similar to Noxema. Now that I'm all grown up, it's part of my job to use only the best foundations, so I was actually pleasantly surprised at how Covergirl has grown up as well. Gone is the smell of Noxema, and it's a lot creamier than I remember! Maybe it's the Olay influence but this foundation is pretty awesome, it glides on and dries to almost a powder finish, and actually stays pretty well all day. The pressed powder was nice, not as refined (or triple-milled)as I normally like but it's also not $55, this stuff retails for about $13.99. So for those of you that can't (or refuse) to afford my favorite $62 bottle of foundation, give this one a try....I think you'll be pleasantly surprised too!

My latest purchase was a Trifold Table Makeup Mirror here’s why; it’s got 4 different magnifications 10x/3x/2x/1x, (so I can see EVERYTHING even without my glasses on, it folds up for easy travel, and rotates 180 degrees, and has 21 LED lights powered by a usb cord which is included or 4 AA batteries (for on the go makeup). While I like the ability to see all my flaws in different magnifications, (lol) the one drawback for me were the LED lights which I didn’t feel put out enough to actually illuminate the face and I noticed that I kept turning the mirror towards the window for a natural light source. All in all , I like the mirror and think it’s a great value for the price, I just wish the ...
Very nice!!! I remember those roll on lip glosses, mine was bubble gum! Lol!
