Foundation Review Friday: Covergirl 'Clean' Foundation for Sensitive Skin

This product is such a throwback for me. Covergirl's 'Clean' Foundation for Sensitive skin is the first foundation I ever purchased back when I was in high school and just getting into wearing makeup. Of course, this is a new bottle but using it brings back the memories.

From what I've seen at the drugstore, they're repackaged this foundation, so it doesn't look like this anymore. The print on the front of the bottle is now a lighter green but it's still in the same glass bottle.

The Claims


  • Lightweight
  • Unscented
  • Oil-free
  • Soothes redness
  • Moisturizes dryness
  • Does not irritate skin or clog pores

The Results


  • This foundation was very lightweight on the skin but it also gave light coverage
  • As claimed, it is unscented
  • I didn't notice any irritation or break outs caused from this foundation
  • I did not find it to be moisturizing nor drying; it kind of just sat on top of my skin 
  • I found that it would cling to any dry patches on my skin
  • Even though it gave very light coverage, it applied pretty streaky on my skin when I used a brush. Definitely opt for a Beauty Blender for this. 
  • I can't really say it "soothed" any redness, but it covered it up well
  • The bottle of this foundation is the worst! It has no dropper or pump, so you have to pour it out, however it is a fairly thick product, so pouring it isn't exactly easy...

The Verdict 

I found that for a light coverage foundation, this was not easy to work with. It took a lot of effort for it to look natural on me. I was pretty disappointed because it wasn't as good as I remembered it being back in the day, but then again, I've tried so many awesome foundations since then.

I'm not sure if it's been reformulated since the packaging has changed, but I don't believe it has. Overall, I don't think it's the best foundation out there. However, I do highly recommend the pressed powder that goes with this. It has been one of my holy grail powders ever since I first tried it and I have repurchased it many times!

The BEST and EASIEST Waffle Recipe! (Blogmas Day 9)

1 Year of Covid-19: A reflection

  It feels like just yesterday we were all feeling the anxiety and uncertainty of a new disease that was spreading quickly around the world that no one truly understood yet. We were facing the first wave of cases, the fear of going outside and being around people and the first round of quarantines and restrictions.  It feels like just yesterday, but also so long ago.  I, and I am sure many others, am feeling a mix of emotions.  Sad for the loss of comfort we once had. Grief for all the lives lost and permanently changed. Thankful for my health and that of my family. Gratitude for the scientists and frontline workers alike, working tirelessly behind the scenes I hope that one day we can return to a new normal. I hope that one day I'll be able to go to work and not feel  afraid  to get too close to my coworkers and patients. I hope that no one will ever again have to face the end of their lives all alone. I hope that no one has their life cut short because of an insidious virus that

Blogilates Beginner's Calendar 2.0: Review & Final Update

I've officially completed all 28 days of the Blogilates Beginner's Calendar and firstly, I have to say that I'm pretty damn proud of myself, because it was pretty difficult but I stuck with it until the end. And I had fun in the process! So, how much of a difference does this calendar really make? Does it work? Here are my final thoughts. This workout program really works, but you need to work at it too. If you're going to half ass the workouts, eat badly and skip days, you really won't see a huge difference. I really did my best to stick with it and work hard at it and I really have seen a difference. The thing about Blogilates that I enjoyed is that you won't just see a difference in your body, you'll see a difference in your mindset and motivation as well. Physically, since I began the calendar, I lost 10 pounds and I feel so much stronger than I was before. My muscles, especially my legs are so much more defined than they used to be. Cassey als
