Cover Girl and Olay Tone Rehab 2 in 1 Foundation Base

Because I'm such a lucky girl, with a generous sister-in-law, I got to try Cover Girl and Olay Tone Rehab 2 in 1 Foundation Base for 2 weeks already. I owe it also to my skin tone and her skin tone because she bought the medium tone but it sadly it didn't fit her so she gave it to me. *dances giddily*

Okay, so I was kind of hesitant at first because I thought it would not fit my skin tone as well cause I'm a lot darker than her. Surprisingly though, the foundation really blended in my skin so I gave it a try for 2 weeks and it has not failed me.


What is Cover Girl + Olay Foundation Tone Rehab 2 in 1 Foundation base?

It's a combination of foundation and hydrating serum to cover fine lines and wrinkles and help improve skin tone over time. It also reduces the look of skin discolorations.

My thoughts on Cover Girl + Olay Tone Rehab 2 in 1 Foundation Base

The bottle given to me didn't have the cap cover anymore but it has a purple cover if you buy it in stores.:)

Swatch of #140 Natural Beige

Before and after. Left without make up and right with Cover Girl + Olay Foundation

After 6 hours in the mall without retouch.

I LOVE...

The Scent: It smells fresh and clean and the Olay smell is very distinct with the product. I like that it smell fresh and clean because I feel that the product is safe for my skin.

The Coverage: I like that it blends really well with my skin tone and it covers my skin discoloration. One of my main problem is that my forehead is darker than the rest of my face. Sometimes I would need to use a lighter shade of foundation just so it would have the same color with my face. With this foundation it helped blend out the color on my forehead and face. It also managed to cover the black circles on my eyes so I did not really use a concealer anymore.

The Longevity: As a teacher I can't always retouch after class because I only have ten minutes each class. I also only have a lunch break and sometimes I could not retouch the foundation anymore. Another problem I have with foundations is its staying power in a hot weather like ours in the Philippines. I travel to school using public transportation and I also transfer from one campus to the other making me and my make up exposed to the sun and sweat. But Cover Girl + Olay, amazingly, can keep up with my lifestyle and the weather as well. I do not retouch too often but it still makes my skin flawless. I even used it while in a make up prenup gig from 9am to 6pm and it didn't wear off. Cool, right? I guess this one's really a keeper for me.

The Packaging: I love the packaging. It looks like chocolate inside a tube with the white and brown combination on it. I also love the light purple color of it. The pump up bottle makes it less messier as well when using. I also like that I can see through the bottle and know how much of the product I have been using already.

I Don't Like... well,nothing really! I love the product and I would definitely buy one as soon as I'm finished with this one.

My Final Verdict: This is my first Cover Girl + Olay make up product and I'm satisfied with the effect it had on my skin. I love everything about it and I'm looking forward to try other products from their line too.
