CoverGirl NaturalLuxe Review

COVERGIRL NaturalLuxe Foundation & Gloss Balm Review

I am a BzzAgent and joined the BzzCampaign for COVERGIRL NaturaLuxe and I tried the new product line and received full size samples of COVERGIRL Luxe Foundation, COVERGIRL Luxe Gloss Balm and Coupons from BzzAgent.

Some Facts About COVERGIRL Luxe

Silk Foundation:

  • Provides a smooth, silky feel
  • Contains refreshing cucumber water to help balance the creaminess on application
  • Made with hints of jojoba and rose hip extracts
  • Available in 14 shades ranging from light to dark tones
  • Oil-free, SPF 10 and dermatologically tested

Gloss Balm:

  • Combines the sheer color and shine of a gloss with the soft moister of a balm
  • Available in 16 versatile, beautiful shades
  • Formulated with SPF 15 for added protection

8 out of 10 professional make-up artists agree silk foundation provides a luxurious skin finish and light, luxurious feel

9 out of 10 make-up artists would recommend gloss balm to clients for a sheer color with a non-sticky, lightweight feel.

The New COVERGIRL NatureLuxe Collection can be found at drug stores nationwide in.

My full sized samples arrived in the mail. NatureLuxe in 310 Flax and Tulip 205 Lip Gloss Balm. Been trying them both for a week now. The foundation goes on smooth, you don't even need a foundation brush to apply it. It did reduce the redness around my nose and didn't fully cover my blemishes. It was very smooth and had a lightweight feeling. The fact that it does contain an spf 10 is a plus. For those who don't use a foundation on a daily basis like myself i found it to be a good product.

Now for the New COVERGIRL NatureLuxe Gloss Balm

The color Tulip is extremely sheer and leaves just a hint of color. The advantage to this product is that is like a light wearing lipstick and chap stick in one. There wasn't a sticky feeling like you have with some other lip glosses. The Gloss Balm glides on smooth and is pretty long wearing. I always reach for anything that goes on my lips for daytime to have an spf and the fact it is an spf 15 is great! It did condition my lips and have felt a difference in the over all feel of my lips. Its a great subtle color that you can wear to the office, doing errands, or watching a ball game. I bet it will go nice in the Summer pool side. If your into packaging it is a cool cucumber color that has a simple design.

Out of the two products I will repurchase both especially the other color lip balms. Now tell me your experiences!
