Covergirl TruMagic Skin Perfector

Today I am reviewing: "Cover Girl TruMagic Skin Perfector"

Retails for about $8.94 at Wal-Mart

Comes in 2 other shades as well for bronzing and illuminating. 

Claims

• Use under, over, or instead of makeup
• Oil free
• Non-greasy
• Works with all skin types
• Blendable and lightweight

First Impression: I was really excited to try this out because I saw the picture of what it's supposed to do on an orange on a TV commercial (as pictured above). I have deep acne scarring as well as getting enlarged pores sometimes so I thought this would be perfect for me. I'm going to be honest, I didn't know it was a slippery balm. I thought the consistency of it was supposed to be powdery instead. I used this twice; once under makeup and once over makeup for touch ups. I didn't like the feeling of it over makeup, it just made my face feel more greasy and unbearable. Under makeup felt like it was definitely clogging my pores. I also hate the packaging, it's so bulky for no reason at all.

Final verdict: I feel like this product broke me out a little just after the first use, like it felt so thick that it didn't allow my skin to breathe. Everyone's skin type is different, mine can be combination normal to oily some days and just normal other days. One of it's claims is to work on all skin types, but I don't find that to be entirely true for my skin type. It does feel like any silicon primer, but this wasn't very easy to blend well as the claim suggests. I used this product 3 times and I've hit pan using it yesterday. It's ridiculous how little product is in there. It made my makeup slip and slide; it didn't want to stick to it at all. My makeup was coming off so easily.. I would say an hour later.

Would I Recommend?:
✗ No I am sorry, but I do not think I would recommend this to anyone. It simply does not work. It's not blendable whatsoever, it doesn't do anything smoothing for my skin and doesn't work for combination oily skin types. Plus they should really re-evaluate how much product they actually put in there, because only using it 3x and I hit pan? That's absurd! Not worth even test-trying it yourself. I would honestly feel better just using my Maybelline Baby Skin Primer & touching it up with some Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder!
