Canada Day Sheer Summer Look with CoverFX {Giveaway CLOSED}

Posted on June 27, 2012November 15, 2015 by Elaine

No doubt in this weather we’re wearing lighter layers – well the same should go for our makeup. Cover FX (a Canadian company – yay!) products are great for providing sheer but effective coverage with everything from SPF primers, healthy foundations and sheer bronzers for that sun kissed glow.

How do you perfect this sheer summer look? 3 easy steps is all it’ll take.

Step 1: BritePrep FX Brightening Foundation Primer

BRITE_PREP_FX

This primer is great for brightening the skin and blurring the appearance of fine lines and pores (visible pores are definitely one of my issues!).  A primer is perfect for making sure your foundation blends easily and stays put on those hot and humid days. This primer also has an SPF of 50 so you’re sure to be protected!
  
Step 2: SkinTint FX Treatment and Tinted Moisturizer

SkinTintFX_EN 

 Great for all skin types this oil and paraben free foundation is water resistant! As a bonus it also contains skin repairing ingredients to promote anti-aging and skin firming – it also contains Bisabodo which is the main ingredient of the chamomile plant so this product is also anti-inflammatory and it can protect and reduce any skin irriations or sensitivities.

Step 3: Bronzed FX Mineral Bronzing Powder       

BronzedFX

Now for the last step try out a bronzer to get that sun-kissed look – you can use this product on the face or the body!

Bonus Step: For your lips: MintTint FX Tinted Anti-aging Lip Glaze

Coral_Chablis

Now that your skin is all glowy highlight it with a soft pink gloss. This product is not just a gloss but a moisturizing lip treatment and a primer!

Just in time for Canada Day CoverFX is offering my Canadian and US readers a chance to win everything you need get the perfect face this summer!
All you have to do is fill out the Rafflecopter form below.  Good luck!

Celebrating our best boy’s birthday with a custom Celebrating our best boy’s birthday with a custom sensitive-tummy-approved cake from @jujulet! Cause life’s too short not to mark special occasions 🐶❤️🎂 

I can’t believe @guster_dog is already 6! 😭❤️❤️

The cake is made of pumpkin, sweet potato, spinach, and carrot. The “frosting” is potato cream mixed with natural colorings. Gluten-free and lactose-free with lots of healthy veggies means Guster can enjoy his special treat and we don’t have to worry about his health. 🥳

The cake is truly a work of art, and - as you can see - Guster definitely approves of the taste! He ate the sculpture of himself so fast that we didn’t even catch it on camera! 🙈

Would you get a cake for your pet?

Hi! 👋🏼 I’m still here! I’m sorry I haven’t posted Hi! 👋🏼 I’m still here! I’m sorry I haven’t posted much. I’m finding it a bit hard, tbh. 🫤

I’m figuring out what the next phase of #TorontoBeautyReviews looks like and healing from an injury, while my 9-5 has lately been more like 7-7, so I’m filling my off hours with family, dance, food, and books. Finding joy and peace where I can in an intense world. ❤️

I still try out lots of products and I do occasionally paint my face 🙃. I’m just not as interested in the grind of daily posts just for the sake of staying relevant anymore. Which has meant that I’m not on as many PR lists as I used to be. Which means that I don’t have as much new stuff to review. It’s a cycle. 

Things are shifting, which is tough sometimes. But it’s ok - so am I. 😊

A longer video, because there’s a lot to talk abou A longer video, because there’s a lot to talk about here. 🫤 I’ll be reaching out to the company in question to make them aware of the situation, but I wanted to share it with you all as well. 

How is this type of thing still happening, even in the age of AI? If a high-tech “smart tool” can’t properly recognize and accommodate diverse skin tones, then it needs further development and should not yet be released. End of story. 

Use your purchasing power to support brands that are inclusive in their product development, testing, promotion, AND corporate structure. Every action has impact.
