In this picture, we have the CG Smoothers BB cream, the TruBlend foundation, the Instant Cheekbones contouring blush, the Clump Crusher mascara, and the Exact Eyelights waterproof mascara.
1. CG Smoothers BB cream: I have this in fair to light, and I really love it! It blends in well, so it will pair seamlessly with most skin tones. It's also extremely hydrating, and has a very creamy texture. I find most CoverGirl products work really well for sensitive or combination skin, and does not make me break out. I have very dry areas on my face, and this evens out the texture and tone of my skin. However, there isn't a lot of coverage, so it won't completely hide under-eye circles or blemishes. BUT, that's what concealer is for! Overall, this is a great product that I use every day.
2. TruBlend foundation: I have this in ivory, it's much lighter (almost white) in person than in this picture. Like the BB cream, it is great for sensitive or combination skin because it does not cause me to break out or get dry patches. It never looks caky either! The texture is very nice, and it blends really well. This is definitely more coverage than the BB cream, but it's still not a full coverage foundation. TruBlend is perfect for young people with no severe facial problems, and comes in so many different shades!
3. Instant Cheekbones contouring blush: This trio of blushes is perfect for any beginner or for people who need a fast way to do some contouring. The light shade on the far right, is a very light pink highlight with the smallest amount of shimmer. I like to put it at the very tops of my cheekbones. The medium shade in the middle is a very natural-looking pink blush. The dark shade on the far left is a darker pink shade which you put on the line under your cheekbone (the fish-face line), to give your cheekbones a little more definition. Terrific instant contouring!
4. Clump Crusher mascara: The Clump Crusher mascara is AMAZING! It lengthens, volumizes, curls, and stays clump-free for the whole day. Really easy to apply, and the staying-power is really great! I consider it part of the LashBlast line because it is so similar, so I'll give an honourable mention to the LashBlast volumizing mascara. It is super volumizing and has very similar characteristics to the Clump Crusher. The only thing is that I like the wand of the Clump Crusher better because it is curved and really gets every lash (shown below).
5. Exact Eyelights waterproof mascara: As a lifeguard, I tend to spend a lot of my time in the water. This is by far the best waterproof mascara that I have tried! I have this for blue eyes, and the staying-power is remarkable. I've worn this while teaching swimming lessons, and it never causes me to have raccoon eyes or leave any mascara on my face. It actually stays on my lashes underwater! Luckily, it comes off fairly easily with makeup remover. Awesome product!
