Am I too late to be joining the bandwagon on this Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circle Treatment & Concealer? I’ve been wanting to try this product for so long but I thought maybe it’s just a hype and might not even be worth it. But I finally gave in and purchased one.
I wanted to swatch them but no tester available so I purchased the shade FAIR just to be on the safe side.
If you’ve followed my journey here since the beginning, I’m sure you’re aware of my “sparkles” story. However if you have not, I used to call my pimples “sparkles” a lot. Why?because I felt like pimples are just like sparkles.. no matter how much you hide them, they will peek and show up shining. Well, that’s what I noticed on my pimples anyway.
But, after all the trial and error in finding the perfect product for me. I finally met him (yes him..LOL) and have been using it since then. Here is a link to my previous My Skin Care Routine!

I had such a wonderful experience with Valentia Clear Lift Revitalizing Serum in the past and I’m so glad that I’m able to try this New Skin Detoxifying Clay Mask that was sent to me in exchange for my honest review.
Now, let’s get started!
About the Product
Skin Detoxifying Clay Mask – Natural and Organic Ingredients – With Kaolin Clay, Hisbiscus & Cranberry Fibers. Specially selected ingredients work together to achieve optimum results.
Recently, I have been “hoarding” more liquid lipsticks to add to my collection. I’m sure we all can relate when it comes to lip products as they are just too tempting. Unfortunately one, two or three lipsticks aren’t enough.
Whenever I see new products being displayed in our local drugstores (new to my eyes anyway), I usually purchase one item at first just to try as I do not like to return products nor want my money go to waste. If however, I’m impressed with the product then yes! it’s time to grab for more.
Now let me show you what I’m talking about!
For today’s post, I will be sharing my thoughts on a foundation that I recently bought and has been put to the test for a few weeks now.
You guys know that I am a loyal Rimmel London Foundation gal and it’s very hard for me to try something new. However, this Calvin Klein CK One All Day Perfection Face Makeup SPF20 caught my eyes while I was browsing at Ocean State Job Lot just over a month ago.
In case you are wondering what is Ocean State Job Lot, here is a quick overview for you.
Ocean State Job Lot opened for business in 1977 as a single store operation in North Kingstown, RI. The idea was to sell brand name, first quality products at closeout prices. We understood that people work hard for their money. Our job was to deliver the best values possible. That was the idea then and that’s still our goal today. Although we are known as a closeout company, we prefer to think of ourselves as opportunistic merchants.
Now, let’s talk about the product!
The moment I saw this Calvin Klein CK One foundation on display, I immediately went to check them out and see if they happen to have my shade. They did have two shade options, Porcelain and Sand. Porcelain is more on the lighter shade while Sand is a little bit too dark for my skin tone.
I’m sure to some the bottle is decent, but I personally find it a little bit annoying. I am all about space “saver” and not space “consumer”. This bottle takes up space on my vanity compared to my other foundation bottles.
However –
I love the pump on this foundation though, it’s very precise that only gives you one pump and not messy at all.
Swatches…
I love that this is a matte finish and does have a very pleasant smell. I applied this foundation using different methods (well after applying moisturizer an all).
First, I used my foundation brush from BH Cosmetics. The result was OK, it didn’t give me a smooth finish even after I applied my tarte cosmetics – smooth operator Amazonian clay finishing powder.
Second, I applied this foundation using my all time favorite Stylewurks Sculpting Makeup Sponge (damped). The result was a little bit better but still not impressed. I am all about smooth, flawless finish and this foundation didn’t provide me that look.
Lastly, I had to apply this foundation using my fingers hoping that manual application will work..but then again, it was OK, I prefer using the makeup sponge than my fingers.
Now, to rate this Calvin Klein CK One All Day Perfection Face Makeup SPF20, I’m giving this foundation 2 out of 10. 2 because it’s matte finish which I like, but it did not give me that smooth, flawless finish that I want in a foundation. It does turn “cakey” after a long period of time especially when you apply powder over it to retouch, it does have a thick consistency, also makes my skin looking dull and non-glowing, I’m glad I only paid $5.00 for this product as it’s definitely disappointing.
After doing some research, I found out that this foundation has been discontinued (I won’t even ask why?) but you can still purchase this through Bonanza.com and Ebay if interested.
However, I will give this product one last chance and maybe, just maybe it will work better this time (LOL).
And there you have it!
Have you guys tried this foundation?
