On Amazon there are listings for these products HERE (four shades of foundation, six shades of concealer). If you click on those listings, you can view product claims and a full list of ingredients for both products.
Have you spotted these new CoverGirl face products in your area yet? Thoughts?
Thanks so much, Reagan, for the great sighting and pics!

It better be made out of part gold or something because that is pretty expensive! It makes me want to go and save a bit more and splurge on a high end foundation. You're completely right because many drugstore prices are climbing up :/ and it would suck if the product didn't work out and you couldn't return it. With high end ones you can usually return it. /Le sigh
ReplyDeleteHoly cow, $18?? I'm in Canada so it will be even steeper here! That price is a huge deterrent for me, especially since a lot of the stores I would get it from don't have great return policies...
ReplyDeletePerhaps the $18 will give my face the complexion of an air-brushed, photoshopped Ellen deGeneres.
ReplyDeleteI would not pay $18 (or likely $20 since I live in Canada) for a foundation in a drugstore that has no testers. May as well head to Sephora.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I probably would pay for it, it does make me sad in a way, because Cover Girl was my first makeup brand ever when I was in middle school (and it was for a lot of my friends, too) mainly because of the low price point. Now, with them shooting the prices up, I fear that a lot of young girls won't get that experience of buying CG. As I write this I think I sound very sappy and sentimental, but thinking of my pressed CG powder that I had in the 7th grade is a happy memory.
ReplyDeleteHOLY PRICE POINT, BATMAN! I'm steering clear of this simply because I could get higher-end products for roughly the same price.
ReplyDeleteAt that price range, I'd much rather go to the clinique counter where I can try on face makeup and make sure my skin likes the product!
ReplyDeleteI was JUST thinking about how some Clinique foundations are $23, so that's only five bucks more! Crazy.
DeleteThese prices are crazy?! Especially for CG -- i've tried almost every new thing CG has brought out in the past 6 months or so and they have been complete fails for me. You know sometimes if you buy the value sets they have at Ulta, Sephora, QVC and HSN, you can end up paying $9 or $10 a piece for high end products which is just about the same as the drugstore prices.
ReplyDeleteI would pay $18 if they would bring back the simply ageless concealer. I've been on a hunt ever since they discontinued it and nothing I've tried at any price point has been a replacement.
ReplyDeleteI know!! I am almost out of my last eye corrector and am fighting the urge to spend a ridiculous amount on Evilbay!
DeleteThese prices are almost convincing me to take a trip to the Clinique counter for just $5 more. The increase in prices is making it harder to score deals.
I have such sensitive skin, I'm not going to pay that for something I can't return
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure which drugstores you have access to in your area, but Walgreens, CVS and Rite Aid accept returns on used beauty products, no questions asked. :)
DeleteI've never understood why so many anti aging foundations are in jars. I like them for dry skin, but that is messy. And the price point is ridiculous when Maybelline and Revlon keeps their's under $10.
ReplyDeleteI use Physicians Formula Organic CC cream, and I consider that expensive! (Here in Canada that is). I was totally curious about this until I saw the price! Nope. Pass. That is just silly.
ReplyDeletewoah! if this thing costs $18 in the US, than imagine how much it will cost in Australia? $30?! Covergirl foundations in Australia are $20+, my beloved Aquasmooth foundation cost $22. All high end foundations in Australia are $50+. Mac foundations are $50, Chanel foundations are $70+ and Giorgio Armani are $90+. This is highway terrorism.
ReplyDeleteMy first thought was "What the heck is Cover Girl thinking charging that kind of money?" I agree that the dept. store brands aren't much more and they have testers too. I still cringe whenever I have to replenish my Outlast 3-in-1 because that is $12 (but I do love it!)
ReplyDeleteEeep, that's steep. The 12 dollars I paid for my last CG product (3in1 outlast foundation) was a total fail for me, so I won't be trying this. My only hopes with these more expensive drugstore products are that the ingredients are getting better. Hopefully, over time, the price of these ingredients will drop, and so will the prices of the products.
ReplyDeleteplease let us know about the eye cream if you try it, at my age I might be willing to pay (with a sale and a q) for an eye cream that actually works
ReplyDeleteGetting too expensive for a drugstore brand IMO.
ReplyDeleteThat is a pretty steep price! But I always find that Walgreens is more expensive than the local Target or WalMart - at least in San Francisco that's true. I can go to the corner Walgreens and see stuff for $5-8 more than if I went to Target outside of the city. Regardless, $18 is pretty ridiculous for a drugstore foundation like CG, but people will pay for it thanks to brand loyalty!
ReplyDeleteI like other CG-Olay stuff I've tried, but this is way too pricey. That 3-in-1 Foundation is cheaper and probably works just as well or better. Plus, at these prices, just a couple bucks more and you may as well just buy foundation at Sephora.
ReplyDeleteJust spotted these today at Walgreens!
ReplyDeleteI also spotted them on Friday
ReplyDeleteBut I wait for a sale or coupon bz am not paying 18 to try it!
I LOVE this foundation. I really think it is spectacular, makes you look younger and glowier, and is especially great for summer wear. I ordered it on Amazon, but in a pinch, I would have no problem playing 18 dollars!
