I haven't purchased very many products from Covergirl, but I haven't had luck with the ones that I did buy. With that being said, I hadn't had much luck with Maybelline in the past and I am finding that I love a lot of their newer products.
The TruMagic Skin Perfector is a new product from Covergirl. It is supposed to offer shine control and pore minimizing. I applied it with my hands one day and with a sponge a separate day. I preferred using my hands as it helped the product melt into my skin. If you are a sponge person, they offer one that is fine, but I felt like it wasted a lot of the product. It applies very smooth, but feels waxy on the skin. After you rub it in dries to an almost powdery finish. It does not feel restrictive or heavy on the skin once you rub it in. I did not notice any change in my pores with the skin perfector applied alone. However, when I applied the TruBlend foundation on top, I did notice that the pores on my nose and around my nose looked smaller. This pore perfector acted as a primer for my foundation. It did seem to extend the wear of my foundation. If you typically read my blog then you already know that I do not struggle with oily skin. My skin is on the dry side, but I do have an oily t-zone. This product did not help minimize the oil in my t-zone at all. Overall, this product is good for pore minimizing, but not great. I feel that other products do a better job, but for the price it does a good job. I purchased my products at Walgreens during a buy one get one 50% sale.
$10.99 if you purchase it at full price.
The TruBlend liquid makeup is great! They offer 21 different colors. It has a pump, which I am a huge fan of. It does not look or feel thick on the skin, but provides long-lasting coverage. It has a more matte finish, but it looks natural. This foundation would be great for oily skin. I have dry skin, but this product still works for me. I only set the concealer under my eyes and my t-zone when using this foundation. $9.99
The last Covergirl product I purchased was the cream bronzer. The Sunkisser was a horrible product. It looked incredibly orange on my skin. I tried it as a contour one day and to bronze my face a separate day. I hated both looks. The formula doesn't feel bad and it does blend nicely, but the color doesn't do my skin any good. It may work better if you have a darker complexion, but I can't speak to that personally. If you are looking for a cream bronzer, I would recommend the Sonia Kashuk Undetectable Cream Bronzer. It is the same price, but a heck of a lot better. The Sonia Kashuk one comes in two colors. The offer #41 Warm Tan, which is meant for people with fair skin and they also offer #42 Rich Bronze. I have the lighter one, which works great for me, but more beauty bloggers prefer the #42 Rich Bronze. I would skip the Covergirl and head to Target and get the Sonia Kashuk if you want a cream bronzer. Cream bronzers are great for people with dry skin.
Sunkisser $10.99
Sonia Kashuk Undetectable Cream Bronzer $10.99
I hope this helps you determine whether or not these would be good products for your makeup collection.
