REVIEW: Covergirl Natureluxe foundation & gloss balm


I've been on a hunt for a tinted moisturizer for quite a while now. I basically want a go to product that I can wear on my face and not feel like I have a ton of foundation on my skin, specially since the summer is right around the corner.

A few weeks ago I was sent this product to try out, #imabzzagent, and so far it's been going pretty good. I have no signs of breakouts! So that alone gets alot of points from me, considering I have very oily, sensitive skin. The texture is very lightweight, it feels like you have nothing on your face, yet of thicker consistency. It's not like my Neutrogena healthy skin foundation that's super liquidy. The foundation claims to have natural ingredients such as jojoba extract and cucumber water, although I can't really tell if it does actually have such ingredients, it does have a smell and it's quite pleasant actually somekind of a bubblegum/fruity smell, I like it!
I usually use it when I want light -medium coverage since it's very sheer, yet buildable so you control the coverage. Not to mention it has spf 10 sunscreen, so it's the perfect foundation for summer, yet I don't recommend to photograph with this on. It is a matte finish, major reason I don't recommend to dry skin.


I'm a NC35 in mac but in the summer I'm around a NC37 - NC40, and the shade that I got is 350 in Oak which fairly matches my skin. At the moment it's a little too dark for my skin but it blends pretty well. Although I'm sure it'll match my skin better in the summer when I get tanner. This product gets a 4/5 just because I'm always on the run and I don't have time to retouch during the day, and this doesn't last very long, but other than that it's everything I look for in a summer foundation!

The natureluxe gloss balm has the conditioning effects of a lip balm yet has a pretty good effect of lip gloss without the stickiness and messy applicators. This product also has a fruity scent and I love how it glides on my lips. I usually reach for this when I'm looking for a glossy finish. I also pair this with my favorite lipsticks, and I love the final effect this provides! It is a very sheer color, kind of frosty. This also has spf of 15 which is always a bonus when it comes to lip products since lips can get very damaged from the sun. 


The shade I got is a frosty baby pink color, which is in 210 thistle. So far I give this product a 5/5 for those lip balm junkies, like me! : )



I hope you dolls try atleast one of these new natureluxe products by Covergirl. I definitely enjoyed taking one for the team lol and trying these out! Covergirl finally stepped their game up with these new products.
Hope you enjoy!

Broken Charger :/

So my laptop's charger is dead! Literally...

I was doing my usual stuff that I usually do lol which is just edit videos, homework, and some work stuff here and there, and work on some blog posts, all of a sudden my laptop totally shut down on me, and when I say shut down i mean completely turned off, the screen went black and yeah I lost my work. I got up to get my charger and plugged it in my laptop and nothing! So I tried connecting it to another outlet which didn't seem to do any change. I didn't know if it was the battery or the actual charger itself but I figured my charger's little green light would turn on if it worked, so yup it was the charger. No worries I ordered one off ebay and it's on it's way over here.. I believe it will take a week or so.. *sigh* I feel disconnected from the world lol but for now I will be using the desktop aka my bf's computer. 

Sooo yeah that concludes my lame excuse onto why I'm slacking off. SOWWY :(
