Review {Covergirl Outlast Stay Fabulous 3 in 1 Foundation}

Good morning all!

I was recently given the opportunity through BzzAgent to review Covergirl Outlast Stay Fabulous 3 in 1 Foundation. I love make-up and always have, so I jumped at the opportunity to try something new. The lovely folks at BzzAgent sent me a coupon to redeem vs. sending me the product, so off to my local drugstore I went.

I'm a pretty fair person. Skinwise and otherwise, I suppose, ha. My mother-in-law lovingly calls me "porcelain doll" Imagine my surprise when I got to the section of this makeup and my color was NOT the lightest shade. I ended up with #810 Classic Ivory. There was one more number (805, I believe) behind mine, so if you are ultra fair, perhaps this foundation would interest you. I also grabbed 810 because I figured I'd be getting a little sun this summer.

So, the first impressions: I was very impressed with how easily this foundation went on. Sometimes with other brands, I feel like I am having to drag it across my face, and this went on very smooth. Another thing that I was very impressed with is that it went on evenly! It didn't streak because it doesn't dry the second it's out of the bottle, so it gives you a little time to blend for a streak-free finish, and it didn't leave obvious blobs of color on my face. 

Can we touch on how awkward selfies are? I realized about ten seconds after I agreed to do the review that a makeup review usually includes faces. So let's make some awkward ones, shall we?

What's over there?

And what's over there??

I applied the makeup on one side of my face and left the other bare so I could examine if there was any difference. The top photo is the makeup-less side... and the bottom has the makeup! Pretty big difference eh?

The "3-in-1" makes a big difference. The makeup is primer, foundation AND concealer... so all three steps in one. Which makes a big difference for me. I tend to be a bit lazy when it comes to my face... a dab of foundation and usually I don't want to work on it any farther. So all three steps in one? PLUS SPF 20? PLUS shine free? Sign me up.

My only "con" so-to-say is the price - the price of my bottle was $12.75 (and other BzzAgents saw it for 13.99), and I have to admit I'm a bit cheap when it comes to makeup. But, I realize that purchasing primer, foundation, and concealer separately would be MUCH more than $12-13 dollars, so I will most likely purchase this product again because it'll save me money in the long run. I must say that I'm impressed!

So what about you? Have you found any makeup recently that's really impressed you? Tell me about it!
