I’ve been wanting to try mineral makeup after reading all the positive feedback, but haven’t been able to take the plunge due to the sometimes high prices. So I was pretty excited to find out that CoverGirl has introduced its new line of mineral makeup. It seemed like an affordable way for me to try mineral makeup.
“Get healthy-looking, flawless coverage that feels barely there! NEW TruBlend Minerals Pressed Mineral Foundation is a blend of pure, micro-fine minerals that’s so silky-smooth, it goes on powder-light to cover like a liquid and help conceal imperfections beautifully.”
- available in 6 shades
- very convenient compact for the person-on-the-go
- very light and airy feeling
- looks very natural
- affordable price
- has a bit of a shimmer which leaves skin with a subtle healthy glow
- doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin
Claws Out:
- included brush doesn’t allow for blending into skin well
- no mirror included in compact
- makes a mess if you accidentally drop it like I did
- doesn’t really allow for additional moisturizer after makeup application
Final Comments:
I’ve been using this foundation in combination with a face primer, blush, and a veil mineral powder for more than a month now and I am very impressed. It’s very light and blends into my skin well giving me a naturally flawless look. I will definitely be a repeat customer of this product.
My only beef is that because it’s winter and my skin is very dry, I often need to apply additional moisturizer to my face after I’m done applying my makeup. I don’t think this last step goes well with mineral makeup. If anyone out there has found the solution to this problem – please let me know!
Now if only there was a way to carry around ALL the mineral makeup easily & compactly…

The ones I want to avoid are the ones that spell out the brand name. Most of them look a bit tacky and just simply too obvious. The only ones I think are potentially cute are Chanel ones -not really sure why.
This pair of wing studs by Giles & Brothers is SO cool! I love them! The details to the metal make the earrings look stylish in that vintage-y way.
I’ve always wanted something that had skulls on it but I never thought they were worth it. I think this pair is ok though-it’s got tiny crystals in the eyes so it would look more designed and hopefully less juvenile. Yes, I know skulls are so two seasons ago but I still like them. This pair is by Tom Binns.
Even though I usually prefer things to be symmetrical, I think these are too cute to dislike. I prefer the XO pair by Giles & Brother, but the LOVE studs by Jennifer Zener are really cute too!
I usually think style items in the shape of lips look cheap and tacky, but I think this pair is done really well and are quite adorable! Although for 242usd, they really should look classier than most! Gosh, I really need to keep an eye out for any sales and discounts now!
