Covergirl Simply Powder Foundation Review
Hi All,
This is again another product I won in an auction on Ebay. I so love it when I win such stuff for a good price..hehe..
When I got this I was so excited thinking I’ve found a new powder foundation. But it was a disappointment in this regard. This is not a foundation at all! So after a bit of moping I decided to make it work and realised that ‘Hey! This works gr8 as a compact or finishing powder.’ 
What Cover Girl Foundation Claims Covers like a liquid, but goes on powder-light-so the look of tiny flaws, oil and shine seem to disappear. Simply Powder Foundation is non-acnegenic, hypoallergenic and won’t clog pores, for an even skin tone and beautiful matte finish. And its mirrored compact lets you take it everywhere. Usage: Use puff to sweep foundation over entire face.Price: $8 ( not sure though since I won it in a bid)Quantity: 0.41 ounces.
- compact covergirl + classic ivory
- Ingredients – Talc, Octyldodecyl Stearoyl Stearate, Dimethicone, Dextrin, Calcium Silicate, Nylon-12, Zinc Stearate, Quaternium-15, Lecithin, Sodium Dehydroacetate, Tridecyl Trimellitate, Silica, Propylparaben, Methicone, Octyldodecyl Myristate, Methylparaben, Lauroyl Lysine, Glyceryl Rosinate, Iron Oxides, Mica, Titanium Dioxide, Bismuth Oxychloride. May Contain: Ultramarines. My take on Covergirl Simply Powder Foundation: Packaging:This blush comes in a black cased compact in a rectangular shape. The lid is that of a push lever and this includes a mirror and a ‘U’ shaped sponge applicator.
- Packaging – This is very very sturdy and travel friendly, although I do think if the palette drops, the black plastic casing does stand a good chance of shattering
- Coverage & Usage: This provides light coverage. I really don’t understand how the company could have thought this would be a good foundation. This doesn’t conceal any marks or acne and one would still have to use a concealor below this.However, as a compact / finishing powder this is perfect for daily use since I don’t like using heavy powders on my face to work or for a normal outing. This blots out any shine on the face and does give a nice complete look to the face without seeming like anything has been applied.
- Texture: The texture of the powder is feather soft and doesn’t have any fallout at all. I was quite amazed at this. Even the Lakme Perfect Radiance compact has a tiny amount of fallout but this one doesn’t have even that. Whether I use a brush or the sponge, the pan still looks totally untouched
- Staying Power: This lasts about 2-3hrs on my face. I do wish it wouldmlast longer but I’ve rarely come across a compact powder which lasts longer than this so I’m not complaining.
- Cost & Availability:This brand is a very affordable drugstore brand in itself and is quite popular abroad for its foundations and cosmetics..especially their masacara which is a cult fav abroad much like the Colossal Volume is in India.
These are however not available in India but can be picked up from ebay if desired. However, I would suggest to get these through relatives abroad since it would work out cheaper that way.

after birth the baby was all right and we didn’t know what happen in one and half hr she stopped breathing and she went in to coma. On monday doctor told us that, she will not able to survive and yesterday she died. She was so pretty. it’s really hard to see, tiny sole to suffer that much. 100 of wires all around her body. It’s hard for me to stay strong infront of parents. Came home today morning only.

I use loose mineral powder that I bought from Ebay!it is awesome!

jyoti recently posted..Mini Lotus Haul
i agree…i hope such budget brands come to india soon…we have such a huge market for these in india…people will be all over them!
Zee….. now this is something new from you!! After the first few lines I thought you ended up using this as a blush too
Which do you think is the best compact? I use maybeline wala (coz it has spf thingy) but my search is still on
hey mals…naa…i wish it were a blush tho…id never say no to a blush
plus this has a lovely soft texture which would be gr8 to replicate ofr a blush…
i like the lakme perfect radiance compact the most…the main 2 reasons being that it actually blocks the oiliness on the skin and second is that its the first time i found my exact skin tone in a compact
you know what ?
After reading the article I directly went to ebay to look out for any such auction, but unlucky me never find anything good
I use lakme radiance not that happy with it
Divya recently posted..Face Astra shine lip gloss in brown
Divs.wats the problem r u facing with it ?
I picked it up thinking about a radiance finish, but rather its very matt. Also the sponge in it is not good, so I have to carry an extra sponge in my bag
,
i agree with u on the sponge thing…i use another sponge or a powder brush with this lakme wala…but Divs, i think amost compacts r meant for a matte finish…so as to combat the oiliness..if u want a mild shine i think u shud go for mineral compacts or mineral powders..wot say? Faces has some awesome ones..
well, i got this in an auction na..and its rare to find the same products fr auction all the time…
but if i see this again ill pakka let A know so she can put it up..
Zee how come yur sponge is so clean yaar.
actually i turned it other way
the other side is all brown is mucky after use.. 
Gud ques ana
to my answer is not nice?!?!?!
Ur ans is even better zara
Nice review
But it’s not available in India :’(

i kno..sad story of our lives….covergirl is such an awesome drugstore product abroad…if only they;d launch in india too..
The very second I read the title I knew this would have been your post, Z! Who else brings such awesome foreign brands to us on wiseshe!
I wante covergirl…easy, breezy, beautiful covergirl!
hehe…itna vishwaas!!
covergirl has such pretty mascaras and blushes..hav u ever read bout their stuff swats?? drool worthy…sachi!
I used to watch America’s Next Top Model and there Covergirl was promoted like anything…that’s how I got to know about the brand….and then I researched and found that there’s a lotta hype about their mascaras…I want these brands in India so bad!
Maybe if you used it with a damp sponge it might give you the coverage of a foundation..
.. I really wanna try prdts from this line, I keep hearing about it so much! esp on ANTM 
i tried using a damp spong on it like 2 days back…but it dint work too well actually…i had a weird whitecast on my face
god knows…but anyways, i like using it as a compact so i dont wuite mind it 
me too wana try their products…especiallt their lash blast mascara..its a cult fav there and m dying to use it some day…
cute cute sponge…u won this?? how?
