💖 ABOUT ME:
Hi, my name is Jen I am 44 and live in Connecticut with my husband and 8 year old son. I am a stay-at-home Mom and full-time TH-camr with a degree in business with a focus in marketing. Before leaving work when my son was born, I was a commercial lender at a bank. I also worked at Sephora and Macy's doing visual merchandising.
I have dry skin with some hyperpigmentation and fine lines. I love natural makeup looks but occasionally go outside my comfort zone a little bit. On my channel you'll find lots of videos about drugstore makeup and drugstore dupes (those are my favorites to film!) but I also review high-end makeup as well. I hope you enjoy my channel and if you do, please don't forget to SUBSCRIBE & leave me a comment!
I love it! I got it at CVS with a 40% off coupon plus a cover girl coupon. It came out to 8.50 after all the discounts!
Hi Jen I was wondering if you had an update on the Youthforia foundation? I noticed it was on sale at Ulta. Is it worth picking up?
Man that is way better of a discount than what Walgreens offered!! I got it for $16 there with a coupon and sitewide extra discount code... At the time CVS was Out of stock on it... 🤷🏼♀️
@@DMV8662 I
used to only shop @ Walgreens, now I only shop CVS. The coupons are frequent and if u sign up for CareRewatds club u get 10$ the first of every month🎉. It's a de
Me too!
Wow that’s so great you are still getting 40% off coupons from CVS! I’m only getting $2 off now which is so sad! I don’t understand why cvs doesn’t send out the same coupons to everyone.
I've been so surprised at the number of influencers who dislike the CG foundation; complaints of texture, wear-time, coverage, etc., that I'm not experiencing with the product. I think the light coverage is perfect for my (older) skin, and the ingredients are so kind to my very dry complexion. Your experience with it seems much more in line with my own, and it's just one more reason I take your reviews to heart! Thanks, Jen!
Every single influencer I seen, and I’ve seen several all rave about it, so I’m not sure who you’re following
I feel the same way. I’ve seen a couple other comparison videos, comparing Chanel and CoverGirl, and they didn’t like the CoverGirl. I love it! I think the same as Jen. I think it sinks right in the skin and looks beautiful. It doesn’t crease or settle into my wrinkles. I think it’s beautiful!
Maybe they don’t want to alienate Chanel
I am going to purchase this foundation
I’m in my sixties and love it!
I’m 66 with dry skin, sun damage, wrinkles, looking for a fragrance-free tinted moisturizer with sheer coverage that wears well and doesn’t look like foundation. The Covergirl is PERFECT! I considered the Chanel and the Rose Inc. similar products but the fragrance and prices put me off. Be aware the shades are very neutral but run very run light-I’m always the first light shade in foundation (after the fair shades) but light-medium is perfect in this. I like that this company is Leaping Bunny certified too (Chanel is not.) Also, I got it at Rite-Aide for buy one get/one half off, plus 30% off for buy online pickup in store, so I got 2 bottles for $24, which breaks down to a much better drugstore foundation price. Thanks Jen, I first saw this on your other video!
I am normally fair/ light and had to return and get the light medium shade in this too!
That's a fantastic deal thanks for sharing! I agree the light is a little too light on me also. I may go a shade up next time.
That's another thing is Chanel is NOT cruelty free and cover girl is. It all comes down to the smallest details but I can't see paying $70 for a product that is 99% the same. Your paying for the chanel name and obviously packaging. (Imo) Have a blessed day ❤️
@@michellecogdill6128I think the packaging on the Chanel is pretty basic. Reminds me of Maybelline fit me with a pump.
I agree with you that drugstore brands are bumping prices up to take advantage of the dupes. I feel like they try to train you to spend more using the excuse that it’s so much cheaper than the original. It’s especially irritating when the dupe isn’t really even a great dupe. I’m glad to hear that’s not the case here, but I’ll still probably wait for a sale.
The queen of dupes !!!
I agree with your theory, Jen. I'm not a conspiracist, but I see the point and agree that it seems an items price has become part of the image campaign.
Honestly it works so well on my skin. I didn’t like it when I used it with my fingers the first time, but I gave it another chance with my normal brush routine. It covers my texture and acne scars just enough to not look like I have a full face on, and it actually helped calm my skin a bit after a cystic acne flare up which is so rare
I'm willing to bet ELF launches their own version
I hope they do!
I appreciated your views on price points, and I very much agree. Also, your skin glows against your pink sweater!
I haven't bought foundation in a long time but I'm so curious about this one. Thanks for the comparison, Jen!
Same 🎉
I bought the cover girl one recently from CVS. I’m a queen of CVS coupon, so I didn’t pay much. I’m amazed at the magic of this product. Not much coverage but yet my skin looks radiant and natural. I don’t understand how this work. I’m still testing out on the day I don’t need much coverage for my makeup foundation.
Hello, do you think you could spot conceal then use foundation and it would still look as good?
Please share your coupon game on this one! I bought it on Amazon for $21 but it’s more a summer shade. I for sure don’t pay 21 again for current shade!
I’m on board with your ‘conspiracy theory’, Jen-and it started for me with elf’s ‘dupe’ pricing, too.
You spent $70!? Thx for taking 1 for the team Jen, I have been wondering. Guess I will stick to my CG, I have it in Fair. I’m pale lol
Not quite, I got it for $30 because I had $40 in Ulta points!
I haven't worn CoverGirl foundation since I was a teenager but this has piqued my curiosity. I still remember that Noxzema tingle.
I actually have the original Covergirl foundation, mostly for the aromatherapy of the scent, lol. It's too drying for my skin but when I'm feeling a need to put some on, I super hydrate my skin before I wear it
Omg that scent just came back to me! I still remember those bottles-the shape, the pour top. Aaaah, nostalgia
Yes, I'm surprised CG didn't ruin the product by putting fragrance in it. Some of their face products are still scented.
I love the CoverGirl skin tint. It’s perfect for the days I don’t want to wear a full face of makeup. Rub some of that on, some cream bronzer, cream blush, mascara, and out the door I go. 😊
I wondered if the greater expense was due to the technology used to suspend the balls of color in water, but I don’t know at all what that involves. It’s so interesting to me that they stay suspended yet are so easy to blend into the skin. I’d assume that the foundations being shaken from travel would cause them to blend within the bottle. Thank you for comparing these; I also was VERY curious if CoverGirl was a dupe for the Chanel.
I never would have bought Revlon illuminance if it wasn't for you. It's my new fav foundation. I may try this too
I love the Revlon too. I may have to try the Covergirl myself
@@sherrypettit5552 update us here if you do
IMO: The ColourPop creme blushes are not only pretty but GENIUS too! Love the fact that the product has multiple uses and compliments all skin tones! I'm totally sold and want all three colors! 😂
I bought the Chanel and it is absolutely such an amazing finish. That being said, if I'd seen the Covergirl first, I'd have bought that one. In fact, I told one of my daughters that when it comes time to buy a new foundation, she should definitely go with the Covergirl. And when I finally replace the Chanel, it will be the Covergirl.
You are very helpful in dupes. These foundations are very similar 😊❤. I prefer the cover girl due to the price.
I'm 56 and this product looks really good on my skin. I do use a pore filling primer on my nose where I have some larger pores. My skin is dry so I do prep my skin with a good moisturizer, I love this product, so glad I purchased it!
So true Jen, so very true on the money. I am so happy to have your reviews on the Covergirl and I think it is a perfect dupe. Thank you so much Jen for a great video and I enjoyed it so much. Have a great weekend and I am still catching up.❤🌺🌸💐
I got the med tan and it’s a perfect shade for me. Got mine at cvs with a major discount with tons of coupons. Very happy with it. Thanks for sharing. ❤
What a great review! I generally find CC creams to be plenty of coverage but it's nice to know for the very occasional time I might want more coverage I can try this drugstore foundation. I would never pay Chanel prices. ( I get it though if you need the coverage, I'm for purchasing whatever makes you feel good)
Really looks beautiful on you Jen!!! Couldn’t tell the difference at ALL ‼️I’ve seen positive reviews from older women (I’m almost 61😮😉)because of how moisturizing it is! I can’t wait to get my hands on the Covergirl! Thanks so much for this review!❤️👍🏼🥰
I got it after your 1st review. I got it at CVS. I used a coupon and it wasn’t as expensive!! I LOVE it!! I just turned 50 and I love the way it looks on my skin.
I noticed that covergirl has transamic acid, too, which is a great ingredient!
Thank you for pointing that out!
Tranexamic, not "transamic" in case anybody wanted to look it up!
Wow, your makeup looks SO pretty ❤ I just love that pink on you & your skin looks great!! Thank you & God bless 🙏
The new Colourpop products are stunning on you! Thanks as always for sharing! ❤
I have tried the cover girl skin tint and I like it a lot, never have tried the Chanel and now I probably never will:) Thank you so much!!!
Thanks for the video Jen. I think the coverage from the CoverGirl would be closer to the other Chanel LES BEIGES WATER-FRESH COMPLEXION touche de teint. I found the CoverGirl leave a dryer finish anyway on my dry to normal skin.
Great Review! I am really enjoying your tutorials. Thanks for your time 🙂
The best TH-camr has posted again! Thanks for all your care and hard work for us Jen!❤
I was excited when I first saw it and bought it based on your first review. I really like it.
I’ve got oily, textured 47yr old skin but I’ve been getting psoriasis flareups in patches on my face. My usual foundations just look awful. I’ve been looking for something light with a bit of coverage. Will try the CG one out.
I’m absolutely in love with the Covergirl. It looks amazing on my skin, leaving me with a near flawless finish. I clicked on your link after your first review, ordered it from Amazon, and have never looked back. I love it SO much that I bought a second shade at Walgreens (used some points, yay) to get the perfect match. I find that fair and light together give me a kind of match that’s almost impossible to find in any other foundation. As always, thanks for the fabulous review!
Yay!! That's amazing to hear!
Love how that foundation looked!! ❤
Hi Jen, I think the Covergirl side looks better than the channel side, your makeup looks flawless, can you please use the colour pop palette & the other blushes in another video for us,if you some have time ?. Love Katherine xoxo
People have been flipping out a bit over the price of this product from Covergirl - but to their defense bakuchiol is a very expensive ingredient. That being said I love this Skin essence - I'm 58 with dry skin and I live in a really dry climate in winter - this is great on my skin. I use a flat top kabuki brush to apply it over my sunscreen and finish it all off with a good luminating finishing powder (I use the ambient lighting from hourglass). It looks very skin-like, offers decent coverage (I do have lines but not much texture) and lasts a good 8+ hours on me. When I go to buy it again, I will wait for a sale but I'm glad I got it to try out before it sold out!
Thank you for creating this video! You never steer me wrong. What a great start to my week 😊
Wearing for a week luv it doesn't feel like foundation looks natural use best with brush😊
I like this so much I put it on Amazon auto ship (first time putting a cosmetic item on auto ship). Also, I might have mentioned this here or elsewhere…I put some under my eyes on a whim (after corrector/concealer) and the improvement to my dark circles was unprecedented without looking like I had a 3rd layer on. For this I mixed it thoroughly first. When I do the rest of my face I blend as I go.
Well now I’m even more interested. I have total raccoon eyes.
Loved these reviews! First at all, I want this CG foundation! I don't know how good will work on oily skin but mine is also mature, so I think is perfect for a daily use looking natural and I really love it also has bakuchiol! I think this one is a real foundation with skincare. And your comment pointing out a product with 70% water shouldn't be so expensive was great! thanks for comparing the formulas! Also, I think this Colourpop collection is so pretty! I've seen on IG some youtubers showing they received it but yours is the first review I watch here on YT! (Is like if everyone else didn't care too much about trying them, just doing a story showing they have them). And I think it was important to know from a reliable voice those blushes are good! (personally I don't love very pink blushes but if they extend the shades, I could get one).
thank u so much for speaking up about the drugstore price conspiracy, i feel it too...calling it a dupe they charge extra dollars these days
Drug store brands are really stepping up their game !!
Unpopular opinion (maybe): I love it! I’m in my early 60’s. (I do use a sunscreen underneath. I don’t rely on any foundation for spf). I’m referring to the CG version.
I don’t have texture. I do tend to be more sensitive and dry in winter. Generally, I dislike foundations marketed for dry skin. I’m not sure how the CG is marketed. But it isn’t drying nor does it produce that oil-slick look on me. So I’ve been quite happy with it (I’ve only used it about 3-4 weeks).
Thanks Jen u look 20 yrs old .. beautiful luv ur hair straight
I really appreciate your review and your practicality! I almost bought it, but questioned the price. Good to know it's a good product!
Hi Jen. I bought the cover girl essence tint a couple months ago and I love it!!!!!! It's my go to daily. I bought it at CVS. With my care pass and coupons, it was $9.
Great video! Haven’t tried either of these yet but definitely going to give the CG a shot! Lots of comments about CVS coupons so will look into that too!❤
Just pointing out that Chanel invested in and came up with the formula for the tint in water thing, so that partially explains the hefty price, not justifying $75, but good to know that there is now a less pricy version. Thanks for testing and sharing your impression!
These pinks suit you very well. I’ve enjoyed the Chanel before, might have to try the cover girl!
Thank you for such a detailed comparison. I will most likely try the Cover Girl brand. I don’t need the higher end for a product like this.
Have a great weekend ❤️
I've lately decided I'd like a more natural type of finish so was intrigued when I started hearing about this. I too was wanting to check out the Chanel bc I really like their foundations. When the tint came out I wasn't at all thinking it would work for me so I never paid much attention to it. But then when delving into this I found out about the Complexion touch that came out a bit later from Chanel. I'd tried to pick up the CG but was not finding any. So stopped by a Chanel counter & tried both the tint & touch. I have to say, they both were GORGEOUS 😍. I did untimely decide when ready I will buy the Touch. But in the meantime I'd decided today to look some more for the CG. Again tho no luck. I did happen to find 1 in "light", but pretty sure I need the L/M. A store was even looking everywhere, including the back room for what their system said they should have had, but nowhere to be found. Lol. Seems like tho they're getting ready to restock and start putting up on their walls so hopefully it will be more available soon. I'd at least like to have it until I can fit the Chanel into the budget. Lol
Just for me personally, I don't mind some pink lighter shades on eyes, but I wouldn't want all peach and pink or closer for my eyes only with balancing with other colors. Might make my eyes look tired . Love your comparison on the foundations. And cheeks look and see what happens with lips. Thanks Jen . Excellent video💜💜💜👍
Love the Covergirl Essence Foundation! It looks fantastic on yr skin! All the Colorpop makeup looks beautiful! TFS! This was a great video! See u in yr next video! Absolutely want to buy that Covergirl Essence Foundation! That’s a need & a want! lol 😂 Ty Jen ❤❤
Hi Jen. Thank you. I ordered it from Ulta. You are appreciated!
The essences look identical! Excellent video! You are killin' it, Jen!
I’ve used the Chanel a year now and love it. On my skin, the CG one seems to have more coverage and I’m very fair and the shade is nice. I love them both!
Thanks for doing this comparison. Oh I just can't wait to buy fun things again so I can try the covergirl. It just looks so nice on you.
I appreciate you !
I watched a bunch of reviews about this skin tint since I was sick, I bought a bottle! I liked all the reviews and what it does to the skin!!! 😮. I can’t wait to try it on my 60 year old skin! FYI Amazon is price gouging some of the colors!
Hi Jen! Thank you so much for reviewing the CG foundation. I'm going to pick it up. That Colorpop eyeshadow pallet looks like it might be a dupe for Jaclyn''s Strawberry Fields pallet. I'd love to see them compared if you have Jaclyn's.
Sadly I don't have it but you're right it looks similar!
Thank you so much Jen for comparing the Chanel Le Beige I bought it and I love it a lot but I will purchase when I am out and I will try the covers girl and no perfume in the foundation. Thank you for research and saving us money. Can you please do a skincare for us we need to save some money too
She published a video a few months ago - last fall maybe? - where she shared the drugstore products she's using to replace more expensive products. You might find it of interest.
Yes it's this video here! th-cam.com/video/J1-ETEGAXsE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=OflXqHdFSN7l6I0D
I definitely want to try the Covergirl formula even though it would be close to $30 here in Canada. Thank you so much for this review 💖!!!
I know you don’t usually like pink eye shadow but this look is gorgeous on you! And thanks for the foundation comparison!
Wow. I’ve nvr seen u w/o the artificial ring light so I thought ur youthful look was lighting. U r so beautifully naturally youthful❣️🥰
Thanks for the natural light view…very helpful, and your skin looks stunning!
I bought the CG essence about 2 weeks ago and I’m in love! I haven’t worn anything since I bought it. I saw your video and had to wait until it finally came in at my Walgreens, but it was worth wait❤
And I totally agree with you; drugstore brands trying to focus on "compared to high-end" is utter B. S. and I'm not gullible, so...🙅🏾♀️
This formula looks beautiful!! I’ve recently stopped wearing foundation, because it feels to heavy on my skin and I live in FL where it’s usually hot, so I just prefer skin tints. I’ve been wearing the Wet N Wild one for a while now and really like it, but I’m definitely trying this one because it seems like it will give a little more coverage, glow and hydration
I bought the chanel in the round bottle that also has the little pigment drops (before the Cover Girl came out), and I'm still trying to make it work. Went ahead and used my extra bucks (I think it was a 25% off everything coupon) for the CG. Maybe it will work out. I bet the people who don't like the CG have oily skin?
I just got that CG foundation today,looking to see you had review it and here we are 😊
You look great with pink!!!
Jen, you always do an amazing review of things! Thank you for all of your hard work.
I just ordered mine from Ulta today. I'm 50 with a lot of fine lines and wrinkles from years of past smoking. Most foundations age me even more. I'm hoping this will be the one that finally doesn't. Thank you, Jen, for all you do and all the hard earned money you spend testing products out for us so we don't have to!
Did you like it?
@monicapatton1405 No, it didn't look good on me. I must have too many lines and wrinkles. 😞
@@binderkim thanks for sharing your results. I think I’m just going to stay away from it. I’m pretty happy with what I use anyway.
Jen, I know you think pinks and reds make you seem sick, but I totally disagree! Your skin tone matches so beautifully with those shades! Specially if they have cool tones. My CG dupe is on the way too, by the way! 😊Awesome video! Thank you for your content!
I've been thinking about buying this if I can find my shade!
Shoot ! I’m sooo distracted by your adorableness ! I’m actually not seeing anything super douper speacial about this hyped up foundation ! And you look pretty in pink shades ! Love the sweater ❤
Our dupe queen! 👸 ❤️
I really want to try the cover girl one.cannot afford the Channel one.some people like the cover girl one and some people don't so I heard
Your makeup looks beautiful with your matching shirt! Loved the final look!💖So excited to try that CoverGirl Essence soon :)
Great comparison and love that you address the price/marketing issue. The drugstore brands are definitely going after the consumer who wants the luxury experience but is not willing/able to pay the price. I'm sure these big companies do a lot of market research to determine the the highest price point the market will bear. Honestly, I'll bet the packaging on both of these skin tints costs the companies more than the product. If they are 70% water, that would put the price of the ingredients in the Chanel formula at over $200/oz. That said, we as consumers can decide what we feel is worth it to us.
Thanks for this comparison Jen! I totally agree with you about the drugstores raising their prices with any new release that's a possible dupe. I just checked at Shoppers Drug mart in Canada and the CG is 27.99CAD so with tax, over $30. I'll wait til it goes on sale. I'm curious to see how this wears on my very oily skin. 🙂
The CG foundations was a no for my mature combination skin. But I do like the new Revlon Illuminance skin tint. The price of everything is ⬆️, but Ulta always has at least a $3.50 coupon and I find coupons to Walgreens too so it helps a little.
First off, Jen you look soo pretty! 😍 now, the CG one seems to be one of those products that ppl either love or hate, I've watched a few reviews where they struggle to make it work over their skincare/primer/sunscreen, it pills or separates, etc., also, for some it applies better with their fingers whereas for others the brush works best. I'm curious about this product but I might wait for a sale or a coupon to give it a try 😏... Anyway, thnx for the review Jen, I trust you 100% 🤗 ... have a good one! hugzzz 💜
Waiting hopefully for you to review the new shades of Moira love heat blush!
gosh, these cp Valentine's specials really caught me!
Your pink sweater is so pretty on you, Jen! The foundations look good on you as well. I'm not sure that a product like this is for me. I have oily-textured skin with dry spots in spite of the fact that I will be 60 this year. I think that my skin oils will melt this foundation. Is there anyone that tried the CoverGirl version that also has oily skin? I'd be interested to know your experience. Thanks in advance for any replies!
Your look is amazing 🤩 this colors look great on you 😊 wow. Thank you for texting the two products.
I agree that dupes are super expensive and no matter how close they are they are never the original. My example is Supergoop unseen sunscreen. I still like the original and I'm not a fan of the Elf one. I did buy the Chanel Les Beiges and I hated it at first (I was expecting it to be more dewy, which it wasn't); but I must admit, it looks pretty good.
Darn! I had already placed my order before I saw this. Thank you for reviews.
Really appreciate seeing these side-by-side.
Your theory is spot on in my opinion!
Looks pretty all you chose on you , for you 💗
I wish these type of complexion products would have warm, or better yet olive undertones, for fair and light skin tones. I’m more willing to try the Chanel one since it looks like they have more undertones available for my light complexions…I can’t stand fragrance in makeup and skin care products.
Both products look lovely on you btw.
That's a very good point. More expensive brands seem to have a bigger shade range.
Thanks for this review. Just checked my local Walgreens and this product is buy one, get one 50% off. Yea!
First time seeing you in those colors. You look stunning. Id wear them all the time.
Thanks for your work on these two products:) Not quite sure if it’s enough coverage for me but maybe worth trying the CG.
Hi Jen. You know, I purchased the Chanel version last summer and barely used it. For me, I either like a foundation that gives a little more coverage, or Tula or Saie skin tints (more affordable than Chanel). Either way,whatever works for the wearer, right? Another great video Jen. Btw, they aren’t making Dollhouse 2.0 anymore. I contacted them and asked why, so they shipped the palette to me from their warehouse. Talk about customer service! To this day, it is still my fav palette (even over Denona and Mario). I told them it was you that introduced me to this palette.
Oh my gosh that's amazing!! I love them...they really do have the BEST customer service!
I got the CG on your rec and love it!
