[Tried & Tested] Vancouver Hauls - CoverGirl (Part 2)

Hi Huneybees,

Ta Da! Here's part 2 of the Cover Girl Haul. As I'm more focussed on my eye makeup, so I bought mainly eyeshadows, eyeliner and mascara. Didn't get their blush or lipsticks....

Ok enough of talking, let me start the ball rolling.

This is the Exact Hightlights Eye Brightening Shadow Palette (715 Majestic Hazels)

As seen on Jennifer on ANTM's Cycle 13 Commercial shoot.

The eyeshadow palette is said to be perfect to compliment girls with Hazel coloured eyes. The palette comes with four colours, Beige, Light Green, Taupe and Dark Brown. Not only was there a sponge applicator, there's also a brush for light sweeping of colours. I love that the sponge applicator has 2 different types. One side is flatter and rounder for bigger surface and the other end if slightly tapered and good for inner corner or smaller areas application.

See how pretty the colours are?

The lovely people of CoverGirl even had detailed instruction on the back for best application of the eyeshadows.

I must say the colours definitely bring out my eyes very well.

Just a few strokes and I can call myself Cover Girl already!

So here's the other products. On left: Lash Blast Fusion (Volume + Length Mascara) and on right: Liquiline Blast Eyeliner Pencil.

I bought the blue eyeliner. It's not very obvious like in your face blue, but I love the effect.

Fluffy mascara brush volumise my lashes.

Just a little note.

Love how my lashes look so long and luscious. They curl automatically without a curler!

This is the Liquiline Blast Eyeliner. On one end is the pencil eyeliner and on the other end is the patent pending tip  that helps smudge the product to create a smokey line.

Here's an example.

I tried the product with the Smoky Shadow Blast (Silver Sky) that I introduced in the previous blog. I created a smokey eye look in just minutes with tese 2 amazing products.

It's a pity CoverGirl is not available here in Singapore, but if anyone is doing a spree for overseas Drugstores, please please please inform me? I would love to stock up on some.....

[Tried & Tested] Vancouver Hauls - CoverGirl (Part 1)

Hi Huneybees,

I bet this line: "Easy, Breezy, Beautiful CoverGirl" is nothing unfamiliar to you guys right? All thanks to America's Next Top Model, Cover Girl makeup has gotten the maximum exposure and it has got to me. Before heading to Vancouver, I've already did my research and decided on what I wana buy, but in fact, I got more than I should...


Let me introduce them one by one.

First up, Advanced Radiance Age-Defying Pressed Powder.

It comes with a puff and a mirror. Great for bringing out to touch up.

The age defying and Olay formula attracted me and I've heard so much about the powder being smooth, so I decided to get one for myself, but as you can see below, I chose a colour that was too light, I also look like I was on the set of TWILIGHT.

Other than my wrong choice of colour, I must say the powder did give a smooth finish, but it was too bland to cover up any flaws and I ended up slapping more concealer below, which made my overlook pretty cakey. But now I use this powder for highlights on my face.

So, the next day, I went to get another face powder to suit my face colour. This time, I chose 3 shades darker and prayed that the colour suits me. (Not sure why the London Drugstore had no sample for us to try out, so troublesome).

This powder is under the Clean series, which is good for people with sensitive skin and boy I was glad this powder was for my skin colour! Similar to the other powder, the casing comes with a mirror and puff for easy touch ups. This powder not only gives my face a smooth finish, it works perfect for our weather and gives maximum coverage on my spots and dark circles.

Next up, Smoky Shadow Blast (Silver Sky)

It's a cream base eyshadow and Cover Girl has made it like a markers for super fast and easy eye makeup.

Step 1 is the rounded end (Silver) and Step 2 is the tapered end (Purple).

See the tapered end for Step 2?

Here's the instruction on the back of the packaging.

And I tested the method out on my hand before I proceed. It's a very pretty shiny purple colour which I think is great for both day and night makeup.

See what I mean? You can look professionally made up in just seconds.

One thing I didn't really like was that the cream base eyeshadow crease up pretty easily and the makeup kinda 'disintegrates' in our warm weather in just minutes. So I had to pat on a light silver eyeshadow to make  it stay on longer. Just didn't like the creasing much....

Ok. Here's part one and I'll be updating part two soon....
