I picked up CoverGirl’s Aqua Smoothers Liquid Foundation at Walmart awhile ago. I was there to pick up some other stuff but once again the cosmetics area drew me it like it does almost every time I go there.

The CoverGirl websites touts that this vitamin enriched formula will last for hours while still being lightweight. This foundation is fragrance free, oil free (great for those of us with oily skin),won’t clog pores, and is hypoallergenic. It’s available in 12 different shades.

But after wearing it for awhile, I have to say that I’m not too impressed with it. Although it was the right shade for my skin it still didn’t look quite right – kind of ashy. It just didn’t look very natural. Although I didn’t think it was too greasy, I found the formula to be a little too watery. I tried mixing it with a little moisturizer and it ended up not working at all. Usually mixing liquid foundation with moisturizer isn’t a problem – but this one was just too watery.

Although this foundation was pretty inexpensive I wouldn’t buy it again. I usually finish using up product, even if I haven’t totally loved it, but I haven’t used this one in a couple weeks. I just don’t like the color or the consistency.

Available at your local drugstore.
