Cover FX
Brand acknowledgement, truly a flattering experience. I put Musings of a Muse out there for the world to see because I wanna share my love of beauty with like minded folks like yourselves but I get every so flattered when a brand acknowledges my site in some way, shape, or form…it’s just the highest form of flattery for favorite brands to say hey, we really liked the review or post did!
Today I was featured in Cover FX’s newsletter (Thanks guys!) and I just can’t help but share it with you! My review of Cover FX Powder FX was featured in the newsletter.
Since I’m heading into my second tube of Cover FX Eye Prep FX Anti-Age Smoothing Primer now would be a good time as any to give the good word.
This is Cover FX’s solution to priming your eyes for concealer while providing anti-aging benefits along the way! Yay for multitasking products. Considering their are so few products that actually prime UNDER your eyes this could prove something to check out particularly if you have issues with concealer creasing.
Check it!

Totally off the topic of makeup but is anyone watching The Walking Dead on AMC? Holy Zombie-time Batman! Loves it! It’s super fun seeing this graphic novel come to life and they really haven’t forsaken anything creating this. It’s gruesome, bloody, cuss-filled zombie fun! I’m obsessed with Zombie’s so this is so me.
I even got out my Hello Kitty Rest In Peach Zombie Glitter Body Spray out, you know, Zombies are people too, they dig the glitter and shiz. Fun fact, Andrew Lincolns, the dude that plays the legendary Rick Grimes, is British! I dunno who I have a bigger crush on, Rick Grimes come to life or little Glen, token smart Asian kid.
Anyway, enough of about Zombies.
Let’s talk cool makeup deals.
Has anyone indulged in the Sephora Favorites Gift Sets? These have gotten better and better every year and feature a plethora of great products. Now you might be confused and assume they include only Sephora makeup but not the case dude! They actually contain an array of products from fav brands such as Tarte, Bare Minerals, DKNY, and so much more.
I recently checked out the Sephora Favorites Give Me Some Lip Gift Set.

Word on the street is Sephora V.I.B. Members are getting their 20% Off Friends and Family coupons via snail mail which starts somewhere around November 12th. I’m V.I.B. but I haven’t gotten one as of yet. The entire V.I.B. thing is a bit confusing at the moment I really don’t have a ton of info but readers have mentioned getting a 20% Off coupon in the mail and I’ve read a few bits on forums that say the same.
As I said I haven’t been privy to this yet however I did get a 10% off coupon when I recently purchased something in store. So who knows? Unsure how all this goes down as of yet but we shall see.
Reason I’m spreading the cheer about coupons and such would be because one item that’s worthy of a haul should you get a coupon is the new Cover FX The Big Cover Up Set. At $75 I was a little wary of the price however I’m thinking differently now and actually really loving the set.  It’s worthy of it’s $75 price tag but it’s double worthy of hauling if you happen to snag yourself a coupon.
Jump for it!

Cover FX Conceal FX Camouflage Concealer is one of the weirdest concealers I’ve had the pleasure of working with. With a color match that was completely wrong on so many levels….hello gross orange shade….and a formula that’s all kinds of strangeness, it did so take me a second to get my kicks on with this guy.

I’m thinking I need to glisten all night long. That’s ok right? I’m sorry I can’t help myself, I do like to glisten and sparkle and shine……
I’m glinting crazy cool today as I used a bit of Cover FX Radiant FX Luminescent Powder in my moisturizer.
Jump ahead to do the shimmer with me.

Benefit Hello Gorgeous has been my BFF for a while now. I truly adore this powder especially for warm Summer days when my best friend Jai is using my forehead as a mirror…you know what I mean right? You have those days too dontcha?
I recently discovered Cover FX Powder FX and I’m thinking that Benefit Hello Gorgeous and myself could still be friends just not BFF anymore……oh hai Powder FX wanna go steadies?

Well wow I do believe that Cover FX Powder FX is possibly the most richly pigmented powder I’ve come across to date. I’m talking seriously pigmented. I’m talking covering up everything and the kitchen sink pigmented. I’m talking making me look all fresh and gorgeous with under 5 hours of sleep. Oooo I want to hug and pet it and maybe sleep with it tonight.
Seriously, loves it!
Cover FX Powder FX is a mineral foundation available in some ridiculous color line up. I swear if anyone complains they can’t find a correct color for their tone available from this line up we can no longer be friends. With 20 or so shades to choose from I’m going to go with, yes they have your color.
The powder is deeply pigmented as I stated so it’s going to work double duty at creating an incredible canvas for makeup. It makes me skin so very smooth and…well it makes me look perfect. The powder is supposedly enriched with oil absorbing qualities and I can account for that as it sticks around on my face for a nice long wear without a crop up of nasty shine, sorry Jai best find a new mirror! Cover FX calls the finish sheer to medium matte coverage I call them crazy. What? You can totally get heavy coverage from this! The powder is totally good enough for heavy, medium, or light coverage depending on how wild you go with your sponge or brush. It is a mineral foundation but it wears lightly and doesn’t feel like a mask nor does it cause an outbreak of the itchies (I’m talking to you BE!). It’s oil-free, fragrance-free, and paraben-free so you’re getting smooth, even coverage minus the gunk.
With proper prepping and priming I can get about 5 to 6 hours wear from the powder without touch ups in between. It wears incredibly well for a powder. It manages to not only even out my complexion but create a flawless finish to my skin. The powder is thick enough to conceal large pores, minor acne, and other flaws. It’s ideal for oily skin as it mattifies so very well.
Overall, I’m pretty impressed with Powder FX and do believe we’ll have many adventures together the remaining weeks of Summer. If you’re looking for something to mattify your skin while creating a picture perfect canvas for makeup, Powder FX is the way to go. Loves it!
Muse Approved for purchase. Finally a foundation powder to love!
P.S. If you noticed my skin looking all kinds of nice in some of my recent FOTD’s you can blame it on this powder.
