ELF Poreless Face Primer Review

Hey guys! Today I thought I would review the ELF Poreless Face Primer. I have heard some pretty good things about this so I wanted to try it myself. If you are not aware ELF has some amazing prices for drugstore makeup and alot of their items are pretty good, this is one I had never tried so when I ran out of primer I decided to see how this one was. As you can see from the title this is their poreless primer, what I want from my primer is a kinda perfect skin kinda look under my makeup. This applies really really nicely, it isn't sticky or oily it is just super smooth and blends really nicely. My makeup goes on super smooth over this and it helps it stay put all day. I actually really like this and would rate it up there with some of the more expensive ones if I'm being honest. I might make this my main primer from now on.  

Smashbox Cosmetics Photo Finish Foundation Primer

Hey guys!! Today I thought I would review the Smashbox Cosmetics Photo Finish Primer. I have been using this for a couple weeks and am really liking it under my foundation. I will say it isn't my favorite consistency going on because it's one of those that is kinda greasy, but as far as how it looks once the foundation is over it, I am super into it. It really blurs my pores and creates a nice base for everything to sit on top of. My makeup stays put all day long with no issues and once I add powder to my face it looks pretty matte. If you aren't a powder person then you might have a little bit of shine but nothing to crazy. I think this is a good product for normal to dry skin, not so much oily since it has a bit of an oily texture itself. Overall I really like this and could see myself potentially using it again in the future.

IPKN Radiant Cream Primer SPF 15 Review

Hey guys!! Today I am reviewing the IPKN Radiant Cream Primer. I am a pretty big fan of the more lotion like formula, it blends super well and I always love a product with some SPF in it as well. One great thing also is that even though it is a lotion texture it still dries down really quickly so I can get right to continuing my makeup routine. This makes a really nice base under my makeup and it stays put all day, this is also relatively mat in itself once it dries so it doesn't add unnecessary shine to my skin which I love because my tzone tends to look oily on its own sometimes. Overall I am really liking this, the full size is about $30 so I would say it is mid range for pricing, which i think is fair for this product, not to mention you only need a small amount so it will last you ages. I would definitely recommend giving this a try if you are looking for this type of primer :)

Ulta Beauty Mattifying Face Primer Review

Hey guys!! Tonight I am reviewing the Ulta Mattifying Face Primer. This has a very greasy feeling formula, it reminds me of the  Gimme Good Face  primer I loved. It doesn't make my skin look greasy and dries down really fast. It blends in nicely and a little goes along way. I do think it helps my foundation last a bit, but the foundation I am currently using does pretty well on its own as well. I think it will help more in the summer as that's when I have more issues due to the heat. I don't really think this makes it anymore matte though, it looks about the same to me. If you need a cheaper primer option I do like this.

Coola Dawn Control Classic Primer Review

Hey guys!! Tonight  I will be reviewing the Coola Dawn Control Primer. I use face primers on and off, sometimes I find them necessary and other times I don't. This one smells very cucumbery, which is interesting to me. I don't hate the smell but I don't love it either. As far as how it works it is on par with other primers I have tried. It helps my makeup stay in place longer and isn't overly greasy on the skin. It definately makes my skin look smoother. It is pretty light as well which is cool for summer.
