CoverGirl Necessities on southeastbymidwest.com

CoverGirl Outlast Nail Polish || $4.79 – I LOVE CoverGirl’s Outlast Nail Polish is one of the best true drugstore nail polishes. It has great opaque color in just one coat, a second coat isn’t needed but is just the icing on the cake. I’ve used several different shades and had no problems with staining or chipping super early.

CoverGirl Outlast 3-in-1 Foundation || $7.83 – I initially avoided this foundation because I was SURE that the hype that surrounded it was purely that, hype. However, I needed a foundation that was closer to my skin shade for a tutorial and I decided to just jump and grab this foundation. I’m so GLAD that I did! Besides my MAC foundation this is my favorite foundation in my collection.

CoverGirl Flamed Out Mascara || $5.19 – This is another product that I picked up for the tutorial that I was unsure of at first and again I was glad that I took the plunge and got it. This mascara gives volume, length, and curl throughout the entire lash but more specificallly in the outer corner for a “Flamed Out” look.

CoverGirl Clump Crusher Mascara || $5.51 – Another CoverGirl product that got a lot of hype was the Clump Crusher mascara and it lives up to it’s hype. This mascara not only gives you gorgeous lashes but, for me, it’s also a “Saving” mascara. Whenever I have another mascara that’s not giving me the length and/or volume I want or is clumping I plop a coat of this over the top and BAM gorgeous lashes again!

CoverGirl Flamed Out Shadow Pencil || $5.19 – The CoverGirl Flamed Out Shadow Penchil’s are good to use for numerous things. They work really well as a base before putting on powder eye shadows and they work extremely well as eyeliners too. They are also easily blendable so you can mix shades as well.

CoverGirl & Olay Simply Ageless Concealer || $8.15 – The CoverGirl & Olay Concealer is creamy, hydrating, and gives excellent covereage. Also, it doesn’t break down like I’ve seen other concealers do, especially when wearing with mascara.

What is YOUR favorite CoverGirl item?

    Look at all that beauty! I love the nail polish. Cover Girl has been around a long long time and I’m glad to see them still thriving.

    I’m a Mary Kay and MAC girl, but it have to say I love Cover Girl’s Olay concealer! Your description of it is spot on. It’s great. I’ll have to try out the polishes. One coat opaqueness is something I look for in a polish for sure!

    Cover Girl IS the mascara for me. It’s so amazingly affordable and performs better on my lashes than expensive brands!

    This post just reminded me that I need to get some new mascara as well as other makeup supplies the next time I go out. I usually never go anywhere without my makeup on.

    Great make-up and really economic! Thank you for the tips, Cassie. The only make-up I really like is thick eyeliner pencils. The one you have here looks really good.

    I do love me some Cover Girl make up! I do use a few dept store brands, but most of my make up, and my daughter’s, are from the drug store. Cover Girl is a great brand and so affordable!

    What you said about the clump crusher makes me know I need that. I feel what you’re saying about having a mascara that can save other mascaras. MUST have it.

    I don’t really use covergirl so I couldn’t tell you what my favorite item is. I do know that I’m loving that nailpolish color that you have there. 🙂
