Source verdict

The reviewer found the L'Oreal Infallible Cushion Foundation, ColourPop Liquid Bronzers, and Versed Everything Balm to be surprisingly impressive for their price point. However, the Maybelline Mascara was a mixed bag, offering length but no volume, and the Covergirl Yummy Big Oil Sticks were deemed 'useless'. She highly recommends the new flavors of the Covergirl Squishy Glaze Lip Butter Balms, reiterating they are the best affordable option.

About this source

This video reviews six new drugstore makeup products: L'Oreal Infallible Cushion Foundation, ColourPop Weightless Liquid Bronzers, Versed Everything Balm Complexion Color, Maybelline Lash Sensational Body Mascara, Covergirl Yummy Big Oil Sticks, and new shades of Covergirl Squishy Glaze Lip Butter Balm. The reviewer applies and tests each product, offering first impressions and comparisons to higher-end options.

Review notes

The L'Oreal Infallible Cushion Foundation offers a truly lightweight feel and a stunningly smooth, flawless finish. While building up the product to medium coverage, the reviewer observed slight patchiness where the second layer disturbed the first, and it also emphasized peach fuzz on the cheeks. Despite these minor application quirks, the foundation looked gorgeous and proved non-offensive even on the reviewer's dry skin. If you prioritize a weightless, smoothing finish and true medium coverage from a cushion foundation, this product is worth considering. However, if you have noticeable facial hair or prefer a completely seamless buildable formula, you might want to look at other options.

What the reviewer liked

  • Applies really smoothly
  • Looks very lightweight on the skin
  • Evens out skin beautifully
  • Builds to a full medium coverage
  • Not offensive on dry skin
  • Makes skin look flawless and smooth
  • Dries quickly (good for curling lashes, though this is a foundation)

What the reviewer criticised

  • Catches onto peach fuzz on cheeks
  • Application can be slightly patchy when layering, with second layer potentially taking off first
  • Looks slightly dry on dry cheeks with a second layer
  • May not last long in the component (general concern for cushion foundations)

Structured claims

The L'Oreal Infallible Cushion Foundation offers buildable coverage, starting light and reaching full medium coverage with a second layer.

The Versed Everything Balm has a very thin, slippery, non-sticky balmy consistency that feels hydrating and makes the skin look plump.

reviewer_claimstrong

The Maybelline Lash Sensational Body Mascara delivers good length and lift, but contrary to its claims, it does not provide much volume and can weigh down lashes with multiple layers.

reviewer_claimstrong

A positive aspect of the Maybelline Lash Sensational Body Mascara is that it dries very quickly after application.

reviewer_claimstrong

The Covergirl Yummy Big Oil Sticks come in unnecessarily large packaging and provide very little tint or impact on the lips, essentially running clear across all shades.

Buyer questions answered

How does the L'Oreal Infallible Cushion Foundation perform?

The L'Oreal Infallible Cushion Foundation provides a lightweight, smoothing, and buildable medium coverage finish. However, the reviewer noted it can catch on peach fuzz and might apply a bit patchily when layering, though it eventually evens out to look very flawless.

Are the ColourPop Weightless Liquid Bronzers good?

The reviewer was very impressed with the ColourPop Weightless Liquid Bronzers, noting they are quite pigmented and blend out beautifully and seamlessly. They dry quickly without feeling sticky or balmy and remind her of the Rare Beauty formula.

Is the Versed Everything Balm Complexion Color pigmented and easy to use?

Although a swatch initially showed little pigment, the Versed Everything Balm actually delivered a gorgeous, natural flush on the cheeks during application. It has a thin, slippery, non-sticky balmy consistency that blends well even over foundation, making the skin look hydrated and plump. However, it was not good on the lips, separating on application.

Does the Maybelline Lash Sensational Body Mascara provide volume and lift?

Despite claims of being volume-forward, the Maybelline Lash Sensational Body Mascara provided good length and lift but very little volume for the reviewer. It could feel heavy with multiple layers and was a bit messy for lower lashes due to the large wand, though it did dry quickly.

Are the Covergirl Yummy Big Oil Sticks worth buying?

The reviewer strongly advises against the Covergirl Yummy Big Oil Sticks, calling them 'useless' due to their unnecessarily large packaging and lack of impact. All six shades she tested ran clear, providing very little tint despite an oil-like feel, and she felt she could achieve the same effect with any other product.

What are the new Covergirl Squishy Glaze Lip Butter Balm flavors like?

The reviewer enthusiastically recommends the new chocolate chip cookie dough and fudge brownie flavors of the Covergirl Squishy Glaze Lip Butter Balm, calling them 'yummy delicious.'
