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.

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 $16 there with a coupon and sitewide extra discount code... At the time CVS was Out of stock on it... 🤷🏼♀️
@@cantstanditanymore I
used to only shop @ Walgreens, now I only shop CVS. The coupons are frequent and if u sign up for CareRewatds club u get 10$ 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 willing to bet ELF launches their own version
I hope they do!
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.
I’m on board with your ‘conspiracy theory’, Jen-and it started for me with elf’s ‘dupe’ pricing, too.
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.
The queen of dupes !!!
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 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.
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 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!
I appreciated your views on price points, and I very much agree. Also, your skin glows against your pink sweater!
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 haven't bought foundation in a long time but I'm so curious about this one. Thanks for the comparison, Jen!
Same 🎉
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 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.
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! 😂
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!
Wearing for a week luv it doesn't feel like foundation looks natural use best with brush😊
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
I need to try it now! Thanks Jen!❤
Really appreciate seeing these side-by-side.
Jen, you always do an amazing review of things! Thank you for all of your hard work.
Thank you for this review! You are the best!!
So pretty! Thanks for another great video.
This is awesome news! I can't wait to try it!
I love the look you came up with! So cute!❤
Thanks Jen u look 20 yrs old .. beautiful luv ur hair straight
Wow, such a pretty pinky coral look!
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
The essences look identical! Excellent video! You are killin' it, Jen!
Your makeup looks beautiful with your matching shirt! Loved the final look!💖So excited to try that CoverGirl Essence soon :)
Thank you for creating this video! You never steer me wrong. What a great start to my week 😊
Thanks for the natural light view…very helpful, and your skin looks stunning!
Love how that foundation looked!! ❤
Darn! I had already placed my order before I saw this. Thank you for reviews.
I love your makeup today!
I just got that CG foundation today,looking to see you had review it and here we are 😊
Great Review! I am really enjoying your tutorials. Thanks for your time 🙂
Your look is amazing 🤩 this colors look great on you 😊 wow. Thank you for texting the two products.
Looks pretty all you chose on you , for you 💗
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.
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 !
The new Colourpop products are stunning on you! Thanks as always for sharing! ❤
You look great with pink!!!
First time seeing you in those colors. You look stunning. Id wear them all the time.
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❤
These pinks suit you very well. I’ve enjoyed the Chanel before, might have to try the cover girl!
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...🙅🏾♀️
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. Thank you. I ordered it from Ulta. You are appreciated!
I got the CG on your rec and love it!
I really appreciate your review and your practicality! I almost bought it, but questioned the price. Good to know it's a good product!
Thank you for the checkins!
Your theory is spot on in my opinion!
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.❤🌺🌸💐
Our dupe queen! 👸 ❤️
I know you don’t usually like pink eye shadow but this look is gorgeous on you! And thanks for the foundation comparison!
Waiting hopefully for you to review the new shades of Moira love heat blush!
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!❤
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❣️🥰
Wow, your makeup looks SO pretty ❤ I just love that pink on you & your skin looks great!! Thank you & God bless 🙏
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 ❤️
You are very helpful in dupes. These foundations are very similar 😊❤. I prefer the cover girl due to the price.
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 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!!!
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. ❤
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 ❤❤
gosh, these cp Valentine's specials really caught me!
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).
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!
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
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!❤️👍🏼🥰
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)
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 💖!!!
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.
You’re so pretty in pink!! 😊
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 did not wait until the end of ur vid i went and got the colopop collection and came back to finish the video and there goes the code, and i would have love to support you, aah next time i will wait but those blushes were calling me😂
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 💜
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.
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!
Great review
I always love watching your videos, and I learn a lot. There is some exciting news Alter Ego has shared with me on what is coming very soon.
Yes!! They shared it with me too...so excited!
I would love for you to try IL Makiage NY. I see these ads and it looks amazing!
Loved this :)
I've been thinking about buying this if I can find my shade!
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
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. 🙂
I really appreciate you doing these videos. I wish someday the eyeshadow swatches were done with natural light too because it’s so deceiving when I order online it looks very different ❤
My ring light is set to daylight setting so it's a close as it can get. Unfortunately swatches are very hard to film in natural lighting because there are too many shadows.
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 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!
One thing we should not forget is that it is Chanel that developed this new formula. Investing in new formulas and technology is expensive and it is important to support that. Of course not everyone should spend their money on super expensive makeup. Dupes are great.
This! If people knew how much it costs to innovate and make great ideas happen, they wouldn’t talk trash about a company’s prices
It’s not important to support that, companies aren’t our friends.
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.
great Video Thanks x
That CG foundation is $28 is Canada!
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💜💜💜👍
