Such a queen

Hi Girls,
So sorry you barely heard from me last week! I was having MAJOR server issues, and as a result, I spent most of the week in a near-hysterical, highly agitated state (which I believe spawned the surly new patch of grey hair to the left of Joanne). But I'm back now! And I have a fabulous suggestion for you. After my post about Prescriptives color-matching foundations and powders, I got a slew of emails saying that the line sounds divine, but that it's a tad too pricey for college student/entry-level lady/budgeting new mom wallets. Well, miladies, I have a fanatastic alternative for you. Yes, please believe the hype about Cover Girl Queen Collection Natural Hue Compact Foundations ($8.99, each). I've searched far and wide, hither and yon, and I've NEVER found a drugstore foundation that A.) didn't break me out, B.) wasn't cakey-gross, C.) didn't have horrible pink or ashy undertones, and D.) comes in enough shades to cover all the various complexions that fall under the "brown girl" umbrella (in fact, the darkest shade in most "extension" lines is a Halle Berry-bronze, and in what world is she the darkest person anyone knows?). Cover Girl Queen's compact foundations come in twelve shades, from Rich Sand to True Ebony (I'm Golden Honey, if that helps), and the texture is simply to die for. It goes on super-silky, yet provides amazing coverage and manages to last all damn day. And it's so natural-looking, no one would ever guess you were even wearing makeup! Try it, you'll love it.
xoxo,
Tia
