Covergirl Trublend Liquid Foundation *Review*

I received this foundation for review from BzzAgent. I love trying out new foundations but find it hard since I have fairly pale skin, it is often hard to find a foundation that matches my skin tone and doesn't oxidize. This one comes in about 21 different shades ranging from palest to fairly dark as well. There is a good variety of shades for any skin tone.

This foundation is light-weight with at most a medium coverage. It glides on smoothly with a nice dewy finish. It doesn't feel cakey or heavy. I have applied it with both a dampened beauty blender and a foundation brush. I will say with a brush you get more coverage but again its only about medium coverage. However you still get a great finish with either the sponge or brush.

BEFORE:

I have very pale skin with a lot of acne scarring and redness.

AFTER:

Just foundation applied. 

After the rest of my makeup is applied. I love the finish of this foundation! So dewy and fresh looking. 

I do find this foundation only lasts 4-6 hours, 6 hours being with a primer. I really like this foundation for the summer as with it being so lightweight it's really great to wear in the heat. However it doesn't have SPF in it so that is something you will need either in your moisturizer or primer.

AFTER 7 HRS WEAR AND A NAP

Ignore the smudged eyeliner, this is what happens when you nap :)

Overall this foundation has a great price point between $8-$12 and can be bought at any drugstore, Walmart or Target. Although this foundation has a pump, it doesn't seem to work as good as other pumps which sucks because a pump on a foundation is one of the best things!

S'mores Chocolate Cookies

If there is one thing I can never have enough of it's s'mores... It is not unusual for me to wake up and make a s'more over my stove at 7 am before I go to work in the morning. 

I literally try and make every s'mores recipe I find, some haven't always been winners. However some have! and these cookies are one of those! They are every bit delicious as they are easy! 

These cookies have everything you want in s'mores; graham crackers, marshmallows, chocolate and lots of it!

The Recipe:
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp milk
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
2-3 mini marshmallows per cookie 
1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs

Preheat oven to 350 Degrees.

Cream butter and sugars, next add the egg, vanilla, and milk. Mix all the dry ingredients in separate bowl(flour, cocoa powder, baking soda). Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ones and mix until no dry ingredients remain. Fold in chocolate chips and graham crackers. Once all mixed scoop out using a tablespoon measuring spoon and drop on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Next top each cookie with 2-3 mini marshmallows.

Bake at 350 degrees for 13-15 minutes or until the marshmallows appear toasted on top. Moving your rack up one spot will help to toast the marshmallows. Let the cookies cool for about 5-10 minutes on the baking sheet before moving them to a cooling rack or enjoy them warm off the pan for that perfect, campfire s'mores experience!!

I hope you enjoy not only making these but eating them as much as I did!
