COVERGIRL & Olay Tone Rehab 2-in-1 Foundation and COVERGIRL & Olay Pressed Powder


 

I recently joined a BzzCampaign for  COVERGIRL & Olay Tone Rehab 2-in-1 Foundation and COVERGIRL & Olay Pressed Powder. As a BzzAgent I get to try products, share them with my friends, family, acquaintances and anyone else who will listen.  When I received my Bzz Kit, I was surprised to find a full size (1oz) bottle of  Covergirl & OlayTone Rehab 2-in-1 Foundation and COVERGIRL & Olay Pressed Powder. I also received 10 $2 off coupons to share.
 

I found the packaging bottle is appealing. The contents of the makeup,  foundation and Olay Hydrating Serum, are swirled as you can see in the image above. Both the pressed powder and  bottle fit easily into the small makeup bag I keep in my purse.  

COVERGIRL & Olay Tone Rehab 2-in-1 Foundation has the following shades:  Ivory, Classic Ivory, Creamy Natural, Buff Beige, Nude Beige, Natural Beige, Medium Beige, Warm Beige, Creamy Beige, Soft Honey, Golden Tan, Classic Tan, Tawny and Soft Sable. 

COVERGIRL & Olay Pressed Powder has the following shade choices: Fair, Fair/Light, Light, Light/Medium, Medium, and Medium Deep.

I am fair skinned and I don't tan well, I red. Today is the first time I applied the Rehab 2 in 1 foundation. Shade I used was  Buff Beige and I found that really helped to tone down the redness, smooth most fine lines made my skin feel moisturized and that I didn't need to put any sort of concealer on before hand. So I feel it does have great coverage. I noticed I had some of the foundation on my hands, it didn't come off when I ran my hands under water, I had to use some hand soap. This is a plus in my book. The pressed powder I used, Fair/Light.  It did glide on and even out the overall skin tone as promised.


The only concern I had was how they made the pores on my face look, but over all it provided great coverage and gave me a finished and polished look.  I'm going to continue to use  COVERGIRL &  Olay Tone Rehab 2-in-1 Foundation and COVERGIRL & Olay Pressed Powder for the next 3 weeks to see if there is any difference in my skin tone due to continued use. Keep your eyes out for a follow up :)

They're so confident you’ll love the COVERGIRL & OLAY Tone Rehab 2-in-1 Foundation, that if you don’t, they will give you your money back, GUARANTEED! There are specific requirements.

Great Grilling with Lawry's Marinades

I recently participated in a Bzz Campaign for Lawry's Marinades and Season salt. I can honestly say, I don't grill Pork Chops, Steaks, Chicken or Veggies anymore without using Lawry's Marinades.  My newest favorite is Santa Fe Chili with Lime. I've used it on Pork and Chicken.



I have grandson's ages 2, 4 and 6. I was worried it may be too spicy, so I made 2 that I seasoned with  Lawry's Season Salt. The boys loved the chops marinaded with Santa Fe Chili w/ Lime and didn't want anything to do with the other chops!! The oldest said "Nana, those were the best pork chops ever, can I have some more?" Thank goodness I had one more for him. :)



This brings me to another subject. Don't over cook your pork. Pork today is very lean and shouldn’t be overcooked. To check doneness, use a digital cooking thermometer. The National Pork Board follows the guidance of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which recommends that roasts, tenderloins, and chops should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees F. and followed by a 3 minute rest time. This will give you a flavorful, tender and juicy pork roast, tenderloin and/or chop. :)  ( I found this information on the cooking chart download available at Pork Be Inspired)

Happy Grilling!

NOTE: As a bzzagent I received a sample. The above is an honest opinion regarding my own personal experience with Lawry's Marinade.
