CoverFx Needs You to Help Raise Money to Fight Skin Cancer During the Month of June!

Hey there!

As we are knee deep into Spring and Summer is fast approaching, many of you may be in search of a tinted moisturizer. With ninety degree weather upon us, less can definitely be more. Well, here's a new product that's worth a try. Cover FX has a new tinted moisturizer (Skin Tint FX Moisturizing Treatment & Tint SPF 30). Here are the claimed benefits of using this product: This lightweight, tinted moisturizer gives you a sun-kissed glow while moisturizing and protecting your skin from the damaging effects of the sun. The formulation is water resistant for long wear, which is great for Summer weather, and is oil and paraben free. It also contains anti-aging, anti-wrinkle, and skin repairing ingredients.

Cover FX has a new foundation primer as well, Brite Prep FX, which claims to brighten skin, diminishing the appearance of lines and pores, and protect against the damage UV rays can cause with SPF 50. The formula is said to create a great canvas for foundation blending and long wear.

During the month of June, Cover FX will donate a portion of sales for each unit of Skin Tint FX Moisturizing Treatment & Tint SPF 30 and Brite Prep FX sold to these skin cancer research foundations: The Skin Cancer Foundation, Skcin, The David Cornfield Melanoma Fund, and The Karen Clifford Skin Cancer Charity. So, try out these new products and support a great cause all at the same time. Be sure to let us know how you liked the products if you decide to try them!

I have yet to try these particular products, however, I have used and continue to use the Big Cover Up by Cover FX. I was pleasantly surprised with the great results I achieved with this product, and my clients also love it. So, I am excited about trying the tinted moisturizer and Brite Prep as well. I'll let you all know what I think. Stay tuned... :0)

Stila Illuminating Tinted Moisturizer SPF 20

Danielle87 this review is for you ;)

Stila says: "Skin instantly looks softer and younger with this handy multi-tasker. It delivers a hint of sheer coverage, subtle shimmer, SPF [20] and added moisture in one effortless application. Perfect for everyday use, the silky formula blends beautifully for a pretty, luminous look. "
Take a look! Stila offers two shades of this product and this is Shade 02. A drop of the product is on my hand and below it is the product blended out. Look a little closer, it's there! Stila is right... just barely a hint of sheer coverage with luminosity and moisture. The illuminating glow is from slight pinkish glimmer. Gorgeous under low lights (Sephora got me this way!), but barely noticeable in inside lights. Maybe out in the bright sun, I would see more glow, but usually I'm on the go and not really checking myself in mirrors. Besides, I have to cover this with something whether its blot powder or a setting powder (that's not too translucent) to keep shine at bay.

This definitely felt like a moisturizer and whatever tint existed pretty much disappeared. I would recommend this for people who don't wear makeup (more than gloss and mascara) and those that have dry skin type.

I wanted a one step all over glow system (reminiscent of MAC's discontinued hyperreal foundation), but the glow and light coverage that I was looking for isn't strong enough for my taste.
Because the tinted moisturizer felt like a moisturizer first, I used it in lieu of my regular moisturizer and under my foundation, MAC Prolong Wear especially since it can be drying (esp. during these drier months).

For a tinted moisturizer without the glow, Stila offers the Sheer Color Tinted Moisturizer.
For skin tones darker than me wanting a sheer glow, Stila offers the Bronzing Tinted Moisturizer.
I actually had a hard time choosing between the illuminzing TM and the bronzing TM. I love a sheer bronzing product when I'm tanned.

Regular price for this is $30, but Stilacosmetics.com has it for $16 on sale.. *blink blink* Where's my receipt for Sephora??

Have you tried this? What's your favorite tinted moisturizer. Do you have a one step on the go face product? Share! I wanna know!

CoverGirl 40% off at RiteAid this week

... and BOGO (buy one, get one) half off at Walgreens! [SALE ENDS 3/12/2011]

Here's what I've scooped over the week: a few of the Natureluxe balm sticks, the liquild silk foundation and 2 of the new Lip Perfection lipsticks. I've heard so much about the Lip Perfection lipsticks, a good sale was all I needed to get the goods!

So far, so good! When I first got the items I did a quickie swatch -thru and instantly heard one of my favorite songs in my head- "I'm Still In Love With You" by Sean Paul and Sasha. Then I said in my #messymya voice, 'Baby, when I tell youuuuuu!' I'm completely excited and swooning over this stuff! The only drawback... it's hard to find a Rite Aid in my area with the Queen Collection. What's up with that? I want to see her collex of Lip Perfection lipsticks too!
"I'm still in love with youuu CoverGirl!"-- me wearing one of the 'luxe balm sticks.

I still have to play around with the lipsticks to be sure how I feel about them. Ahhh! Adding stuff to my review list....
