On my last Sephora purchase, I received three samples of foundation. I'm always excited to try new foundations... it's kind of like the quest to find the "perfect" mascara. Never ending, but I won't give up! ;-)One of the samples was Cover FX Total Cover Cream Foundation. I was pleasantly surprised at the size of this sample... usually I don't feel there is enough of a sample to really tell how it covers, but this one gave ample! The full size product is retails at Sephora for $42.00, and is available in 28 shades, so you will be sure to find one that works for your skin tone. My particular sample came with three colors, of which I tried the lightest one (oh the joys of being transparent). ;-)
The cream texture was a little dry, making it a little hard to work with. Perhaps in a full size container it would be easier, but I just felt like it was a little dry. They do recommend the Cover FX Cream Foundation Brush ($38), which may help.
The coverage it provided was wonderful. Very even and FULL. If you are a sheer or buildable coverage kind of gal, this is not for you. I personally, like having a medium to full coverage, as it covers the redness in my skin better. However, I felt like it took a lot, A LOT of work to get that even coverage. It did last all day, with no budging. But I did feel like my skin wasn't "breathing". It felt a little heavy on, and although stayed in place, just gave me a very "makeup-y" feel.
Overall, I give this a 3 out of 5 stars. The coverage is wonderful, but lacks a smooth consistency, and gives a heavier feel.
