Review: Covergirl NatureLuxe
The NatureLuxe Collection is a luxury makeup line that exchange certain select heavier synthetics for carefully-chosen natural ingredients, while delivering a polished makeup looka and a lightweight feel. The NatureLuxe Silk Foundation and Gloss Balm are higher end products with a more luxurious formula that can found at local drugstores.

This foundation provides light to medium coverage (I had to add more than one layer to properly cover blemishes), which is perfect for me as I usually don't wear foundation. It goes on smoothly, leaving my skin very soft and dewy. It even gives my face a healthy glow.
I tried it in the shade Maple 340 and at first sight, I thought it would be too dark for me, but as the coverage isn't heavy, the difference isn't even noticeable. In fact, it adds a bit of warm and glow to my face.
The texture is very creamy and it blends effortlessly on my skin. The product is quickly absorbed into the skin and it feels very light, which is a big pro because honestly, nobody wants to feel like they are wearing a mask!
This foundation has a very subtle and fresh scent that reminds me of cucumber. Nothing over the top, but still pleasant.
However, I think the tube could be a little larger for the price (remember this is a drugstore foundation!)

Gloss Balm in Hibiscus 215 ($11.99)

- Luxurious, sheer color with a hint of shine
- Contains decadent mango and shea butter
- Soft, lightweight feel
- SPF 15
Wow, I'm absolutely amazed by this product! Seriously, after only one use, my lips were moisturized and the dryness was completely gone! I just couldn't believe it. Even my boyfriend noticed how soft my lips were (=
Looking at the color in the tube, I thought it would be really dark, but it turned out to be more on the sheer side, and very wearable.
The texture is light, very buttery, and it glides on the lips very smoothly. I love that you get the color and shine of a gloss without the usual stickiness.
I totally fell in love with the scent of this gloss balm. I don't know if they all smell the same, but this one smells very sweet to me, which I absolutely love. The scnet is stronger in the tube than it is on the lips, though.
Oh, and the SPF 15 is definitely a plus!
