Bethenny Frankel reveals her $11 CoverGirl summer beauty staple
It’s glowy girl summer.
Bethenny Frankel took to Instagram this week to rave about her latest drugstore beauty find: CoverGirl TruBlend Sun & Sculpt Bronzing Glow Serum, which she says is “as good as the expensive ones” with “not an iota of sacrifice.”
The self-proclaimed accidental beauty influencer said that the brand is coming in “fuego” (Spanish for fire), as she applied the multifunctional makeup with a fluffy brush, producing a pretty, glowy effect.
The all-in-one bronzing, hydrating and illuminating drugstore steal was released this year and is even on sale for under $10 right now.
With a unique pump-and-wand applicator, the Sun & Sculpt can be used to contour or applied all over for a sunkissed glow.
The vegan, non-comedogenic serum is packed with peptides, vitamin C and vitamin E to improve skin over time — and shoppers are even swapping their foundation for it, as is Frankel.
“If you’re someone who prefers a natural-looking bronzer with a soft, healthy finish rather than a sparkly one, I think this is a great option to try!” reads one five-star review, among the largely positive feedback.
But the “RHONY” legend didn’t stop there with the drugstore finds, as she name-dropped more CoverGirl finds in what appeared to be an unsponsored post.
Raving about the delectable scent, Frankel called the brand’s Squishy Glaze Lip Butter Balm “amazing.” The formula promises nine hours of hydration and is made with hyaluronic acid, shea butter and plant extracts.
It comes in five flavors, including raspberry, grape, toasted vanilla marshmallow, plum and peach gummies, the latter of which is the one the former “Housewife” uses.
The Squishy Glaze Lip Butter Balm also gets high marks from shoppers, who compare it favorably to much pricier brands and call it “super smooth and creamy.”
To complete her look, Frankel added blush, also from Cover Girl, while raving about how impressed she is with the line.
Brushing some on, she said the Skin Enhancer Blush Balm Stick is “super creamy” and “pretty,” but “not too pigmented that you’re freaking out that it’s clown vibes.” (Besides blush colors, the stick also comes in contour shades.)
“These are good,” Frankel added, after having completed a pretty everyday look in minutes — something we can all get behind.
If you’re looking to refresh your makeup stash for under $30, this is the time to do it. These sales are not likely to last long, so get clicking for a Frankel-approved haul.
