Cover FX Custom Color Drops -- anyone tried?

FUTURE — Sat, 04 Apr 2015 20:57:57 GMT

Needless to say, I'm very intrigued by this product. It's essentially pure pigment drops that you can add to anything for your face -- oils, moisturizer, tinted moisturizer and foundation (for more coverage), serum, etc etc etc. There is also quite a large shade range. They have to in my local JCP Sephora, so the next time I'm around one, I might see about getting a sample so I can play around with it a bit before I buy. The reviews on Sephora are stellar, but I haven't seen a lot of reviews and swatches. I'm going to look on YT tonight to see if I can find more info on colors, etc. Just wondering if anyone here has tried?

Wanted to say, you add increasing number of drops (1-4) to increase your level of coverage, which is also nice, as some days you have better skin days than others. Well, at least I do! I wish I had this in the winter so I could've mixed some cream and oil with this for a super hydrating product with coverage.

I saw this too and the drops look very interesting. I am more than interested because no matter what foundation, bb or cc cream I use, it all just seems to sit on top of my face no matter how much I blend or not. I am doing something wrong or my skin just doesn't like it. I normally go without foundation but sometimes I want a more finished look. Anyway, these look interesting. I am curious too if anyone has tried them.

I've had the drops about a week now and I'm not sure yet. I have mainly used it with moisturizer and 2 drops of the pigments. Today I noticed that you really need to exfoliate good because it seemed to sit on my dry patches(I was in a hurry and didn't use a toner). I used the same amount of moisturizer I normally do and seem to have a lot left after applying to my whole face. Maybe I need to try it mixed with a few other things and report back. I saw a code if you buy from their site, get half off a primer when you use the code droplove or lovedrop when you purchase the pigment drops. Sorry I wasn't much help.

Beauty-junkie, I appreciate the review. It does help me because I was wondering since it is mixed in with moisturizer, would dry patches be a problem. Does it show every fine line and wrinkle? Once thing about my foundations so far, they are showing me more fine lines than I thought I had.

Thanks a bunch, beauty junkie! I'm hoping to get a sample before the sale, so I can decide if I like it. I hate returning things, even if they really don't work, but this item is a little pricey. I'm glad they have a nice color range. I went to Sephora this wknd and wanted to look at the new Clinique two in one foundation/concealer product, but even the lightest shade was too dark AND yellow for me! And I'm not what I would consider porcelain, unless the shade range is limited. This one had a LOT of shades, but they definitely could use one (maybe two) lighter. Please keep us updated if you find a way to use the Cover FX drops that works for you. I was concerned about the dry patches,so I'm glad you mentioned that.

I have combo skin and minimal fine lines/wrinkles, but when I use a toner it looks really good(or a scrub in the am). My main thing is I guess I need less moisturizer and maybe 1 drop of the pigments? I did watch Melissa Parada on YouTube when she reviewed the drops-it looked great on her.

I was unsure what shade to get, but I saw videos on YouTube and tried to use them for comparison. I have not mixed with oil because I have combo skin and tend to use oils at night(when I do a peel or Skinn microdermabrasion). I think I might have been using too many drops(2) and I'm going to try using 1 drop tomorrow and see what that looks like. I'll keep you posted for sure. Oh no, when's the Sephora sale? I'm trying to be good, but it's so hard with all the spring lines coming out.

I had not heard of this product. Sounds interesting.

I think the sale starts April 12th for Rouge. I haven't seen confirmed dates yet, but that's the rumor on the interwebs.

I just got them this week and have tried them two times. The first time I mixed it with Cerave PM moisturizer and used two drops. I thought the Cerave was a little too thin and I seemed a little dry by the end of the day. It didn't accentuate any lines, though. Today I mixed two drops with a tinted moisturizer and I liked it better.

Bottom line is that I also need to play with it a little more to find the best product to mix it with. I can't see using more than two drops at a time, at least for my needs. I have medium coloring with pink undertones and went with P40 and I like the color of the drops. I just need to play around with it a little more. I think I like it; just have to use it a few more times with different products. I'm going to try it tomorrow with a Paula's Choice moisturizer.

I'm in trouble! Plus, I just got a 20% off from Ulta too(rouge at both stores)! What's on your list so far?

All, I noticed on Phyrra's blog, she used them with several products, including the PC oil booster many of us love, as well as a PC moisturizer with spf. She did pics with each. Just thought some might find her post and info interesting and informative. Thanks Luv2playgolf for the info!!

Thanks. I'll have to read her blog. I do have the PC oil booster, so I will try it with that, also.

I may have to wait for a non-work day to try the oil method as I have no idea how that will go and if I'll have to mix anything else with it. You definitely need to have some time to play around with it and I don't think I have time on the mornings when I'm going to work!

okay what?? Instead of foundation or TM, she just added these drops to the PC oil booster or maybe even my PC skin recovery moisturizer with SPF?? Hmmm, this sounds intriguing. I will have to look into these pigment drops. I need to make sure they are cruelty free. It has been many moons since I used anything from the line so I can't remember. Thanks for the heads up!

HD-- yes!! I think she used it with the men's SPF (which my husband has, because he's kind of a freak about PC products -- I've created a monster! Anywho....) But you can mix with any product. You can use it with foundation to adjust a shade, add more coverage, add to TM, primer, OIL (!), serums, etc. It's crazy!

I totally understand. The oil is what I would be most nervous about, too!

HappyDaze, they don't test on animals and are PETA approved, per their website. HTH! (All systems GO! Lol!!)
