Milani Color Fetish Hydrating Lip Stain ($13.99) is a new, hydrating lip stain available in six shades that contains hydrating Hyaluronic Acid and plant-derived Squalane. The formula is has a glossy shine finish that transforms as it dries down to a semi-matte one that promises up to eight hours of wear. This formula reminds me of products like Maybelline Vinyl Ink Lipstick and Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Tinted Lip Oil.

This is a pretty soft launch for Milani as I’m surprised they only did six shades. I sometimes think they do this to see how a product will perform and if it does well we get a second round with more shades. I would have liked it if they did a few softer nudes because this launch of shades pretty much packs in some very bold reds and berries. If bold isn’t your lip look of choice you might wish to skip these.

L’Oreal True Match Radiant Serum Concealer ($15.99) is a new concealer that was released for Spring 2024 and it features a lightweight, crease-resistant formula infused with 1.5% hyaluronic acid plus caffeine to hydrate the delicate skin under the eyes and depuff it as it covers darkness and fine lines. Let me have my Keith Lee moment, “I got it, I tried it, let’s rate it 1 through 10”! I love a Keith Lee moment and since he was in New York recently let’s honor him in this review. As a self-proclaimed concealer junkie, I immediately purchased L’Oeal True Match Radiant Serum Concealer when I saw it pop up! I wasn’t ready to wait for a sale and immediately purchased a shade for review and because I love a new concealer moment. And this one intrigued me considering its major claim of containing 1.5% hyaluronic acid plus caffeine. Sounds like they are trying to capture the L’Oreal Revitalift Derm Intensives 1.5% Hyaluronic Acid + 1% Caffeine Eye Serum in this formula. Do they succeed? Not quite but they do provide us with the most amazing applicator.

Covergirl Simply Ageless Skin Perfector Essence Hydro Fresh Tint ($21.49) is a new lightweight hybrid foundation formula that acts as a skin tint and skincare all-in-one. This is a lightweight, gel-serum formula that contains 71% water to provide hydrating coverage as well as skincare benefits in the form of 0.5% Bakuchiol and Tranexamic Acid. What are Bakuchiol and Tranexamic Acid? Tranexamic Acid acts to fade dark spots, discolorations, and melasma. It’s also may aid in treating acne and improving the skin barrier. The real star of the show is the Bakuchiol. Bakuchiol is a retinol-like alternative that helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while firming skin and evening out skin tone.

I normally scoff at foundations that claim to act as skincare (or even an SPF). But I can see this formula potentially have some good skincare benefits due to the consistency of the formula. It does feel like I’m applying a serum on my face. Unfortunately, I haven’t used it long enough to speak for those benefits but I’ll update this post if something major happens to my skin after using it for a few months.

Let’s get on with the review and swatches of the Covergirl Simply Ageless Skin Perfector Essence!
