Cover FX Natural Finish Foundation Review

  Cover FX Foundation
Cover FX Foundation

A self-professed makeup-a-holic and lover of FULL coverage foundation, I am so excited to share my new favorite foundation with you! Growing up with rosacea and having it linger into my twenties has made me self-conscious about going out bare-faced. As a teenager, I wore a Clinique cover stick foundation, heavily applied to hide all traces of redness. Then I moved up to MAC’s Studio Fix foundation (still one of my favorites). I’ve tried so many foundations, and have a small handful of favorites, but I am so very impressed with the Cover FX line of foundations/face products. Recently I have been revamping my lifestyle to be more conscious of what I put in and on my body. For me, that means making tweaks to my diet and researching where my food and beauty products come from. Luckily the Cover FX Natural Finish Foundation is cruelty and gluten free, talc free, paraben free, and is a stellar full-coverage, silky product.

The shades: My shade is N40. The colors available are broken down into three categories: N (neutral), P (pink), and G (golden). I was very impressed with the range of colors; probably the best range I have seen from any brand before. Each letter (P, G, and N) has a wide range of colors.

The wear: Applied with or without primer (I have worn it both ways), this foundation stays put. It has stood the test of spin class, weight lifting, and running. It does not budge. Giving a silky finish, it looks natural but gives GREAT coverage. I was impressed that I did not feel the need to apply concealer around my mouth, chin, and nose as I usually do. This foundation is not dewy, nor matte, it just gives a soft, satin finish to your skin. In the photo above, I am not wearing any concealer or powder over the foundation with the exception of under my eyes. 

Pros: 

-Lasts all day

-Great coverage; covers redness

-No odor

-Cruelty free

-Takes very little product

-Great packaging

Cons:

-Price ($40 for a tube)

If you decide to try this foundation, please let me know what you think of it!

a few ways that getting dressed/fashion is spiritu a few ways that getting dressed/fashion is spiritual:

1. experimenting with what you wear can help you see yourself in a different way & provokes inspiration.
2. Getting dressed in the morning is a way to have fun by expressing your beautiful soul for everyone to see. 
3. when you feel confident in what you’re wearing, you FEEL good.

my style evolution: I used to wear a lot of black & shunned expressing my femininity with the clothes that I wore because I was following trends. NO MORE. now: give me all the feminine LEWKS and colors 🌈

During the first few months of my Z’s life, my body & soul felt burnt out. looking back, it was hard (and still is!) to prioritize just taking a few deep breaths each day. totally not trying to sound dramatic like so many Oprah IG captions 🤣 but it’s the truth.

during a meditation session recently, my intuition called out and invited me to reconnect with my feminine side. I realized I had abandoned much of this ‘side’. this is where the journey of activating my divine feminine energy began for me.  I’ll be sharing bits of my re-discovery here in hopes it will help you overcome the same and step in to your wholeness. 🤍

by wholeness, I mean not DOING IT ALL. being intentional & redefining the feminine experience. 

some of the words I have reclaimed include…

emotional, ease, wild, & healing 

do you have words to describe your feminine energy?
this foundation is so so good 💖 it’s like a f this foundation is so so good 💖 it’s like a filter in a bottle which is SAYING SOMETHING especially when it comes to clean beauty products. @saintcosmetics products are just as beautiful, luxurious & glam as they are clean and powerful ✨
one year ago ✨8 months pregnant & we’d just mo one year ago ✨8 months pregnant & we’d just moved from CA to AZ 🌵…& it was one of the best things we’ve ever done. 

reflecting back on the past year has put into perspective how critical taking the leap and moving to a new place has been for my personal growth and development, and if you’re thinking about moving, this is your sign to do it!

the change of environment has been SO beyond magical for many reasons…it’s taken me out of my comfort zone, given so many new and exciting experiences, and expanded social connections. 

🤍10/10 recommend, even when you’re super pregnant 😜

Even with other clean products, my scalp was not happy and it’s such a relief to find a product that WORKS that isn’t medicated or full of crap ingredients. so excited to share with y’all as I have always shared my scalp/hair journey and finally feel like my scalp is THRIVING 💖

this look is one of my faves as it doesn’t take much time and it shows off my natural hair texture. 

…the sea salt & texturizing spray from @beautybyearth is a game changer - it does exactly what the name says AND it’s a fab clean hair product 💖
