Essence Volume Booster Lash Primer Review

Hey guys!! Today I am reviewing the Essence Volume Booster Lash Primer. Now I have never used a lash primer so this is coming from someone with no experience with one prior just so you guys know. However that being said I personally quite like this, I feel like it really does make a difference in how the mascara looks when I use this first. When I start with this it makes my lashed look much longer and fuller that if I use just the mascara. Now I won't say this helps the mascara stay on any better because I haven't tried it with any I have any issues with but I think it probably would help. My only issue with it is that it is white so sometimes a little doesn't get covered well enough but that really is my only  issue I have had, other than that I love it. I will for sure be buying this again because it is very inexpensive and really works!  

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.

Yensa Color + Face Tone Up Primer Essential Glow Review

Another blogger oopsie here, I tried this and forgot to write my review... So I will be going on memory once again, I do remember I liked this. It went on super smoothly and was one of the ones with more of like a lotiony texture, but it dried down pretty quickly. I love ones that dry quickly like this so I can just keep going with my makeup and not need to wait, I can't quite remember if this was a yellow or white primer, but either way it went on and blended really nicely. I didn't think it made my skin that much glowier than normal but it did make a really nice base for my foundation and other products. Overall I really liked this one :)

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 :)

Touch in SOL No Poreblem Priming Water Review

Hey guys!! Today I thought I would do a review on the Touch in Sol No Poreblem Priming Water. So this is exactly what it sounds like, it is very very watery, I have found the best way to apply this is to put a drop at a time where I want it on my face and then blend it with my other hand because it will just run everywhere otherwise. It does work pretty well although I do find it kind of oily, but once I have everything else on it is not really noticeable and everything blends super well over it. The formula definitely isn't my favorite even though it works pretty well so I wouldn't personally buy a full size of this, but if this is the type of formula you like then this might be something to try out. The price isn't terrible so overall I would say this is a good product :)

MAC Prep and Prime Natural Radiance Review

Alright so I have to say when I first squeezed some of this out I was a little worried that it was a yellowy tint, I didn't want my skin to look yellow obviously lol All was ok though onceI blended it into my skin, once you get it on you really can't tell it has a yellow tint, especially once you put on your foundation and concealer. I really like how light this is and how quickly it dries down, I can't stand things that feel like they just sit on my face and I feel like this one is really nice because since it dries down so fast I can get on with my routine quickly. It works pretty well, my makeup goes on really well over top of it and I haven't had any issues, I don't really think this adds much to it either though, like I don't feel more glowy or anything but it does work quite well overall.

Revlon Rose Glow Hydrating Illuminating Primer

I love the look and smell of this product, it is super pretty and smells very floral.  It blends into your skin super well and isn't greasy which is nice. It is honestly extremely liquidy and goes on very light weight. I do not think it does anything for my pores personally but I do like the base it gives for my foundation and/or concealer.  I feel like it helps a bit with the lasting power of my makeup.  I am not sure I will purchase it I'm the future but I am enjoying using it.

Benefit Porefessional Pearl Primer Review

Hey guys!! Today I am reviewing the Porefessional Pearl Primer from Benefit. I have tried the original one of these and really like it. This one is the same, it goes one super smoothly and soaks into the skin pretty quickly. It makes my skin look smoother and creates a good base for my foundation to sit on. I would say it really does help my makeup last longer, my makeup doesn't go oily on my t-zone as fast with this primer. I am absolutely considering buying either this or the original as I quite like them both. They are around $32.00 a tube but they last FOREVER so it is totally worth it!!

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.

Ulta Beauty Tinted Eye Primer Review

Hey guys!! Tonight I am reviewing the Ulta Tinted Eye Primer. So I like how this goes on, it goes on smoothly and dries pretty quickly. As far as whether or not I get creasing on my eyeshadow with this, yes I still get some creasing. That being said there are lots of times I will get creasing with more expensive products as well. I think I get less creasing with it than without though. My shadow on the lid area looks fine, it's just literally though my crease you can see it, so basically only if my eyes are closed. As I am used to this I won't blame this product and think it's still a good product, I do wish I would find one that totally prevents this though.

Urban Decay Primer Potion Review

Hey guys!! I know this review is a long time coming but I wanted to thoroughly test these. Original: This works really well. It makes my eyeshadow last all day.  I really like this and will probably buy the full size one.  Eden: I quite liked Eden, but not as much as the original, I found my eyeshadow still creased after a while. Minor Skin: I really like the shimmer in this one and it works really well for the first few hours, however my eye shadow still ends up creasing in the long run. Anti-Aging: This works really well. My eyeshadow stays in place all day with no issues. I can't speak for any anti aging effects, but it definitely does what I need it to do. Overall I do believe I will be purchasing a full size of one of these. Most likely the original.

Too Faced Hangover Rx 3 in 1 Replenishing Primer and Setting Spray Review

Hey guys!! Tonight I'm reviewing the Too Faced Hangover Rx 3 in 1 Replenishing Primer and Setting Spray. Let me start off by saying I imagine I'd like the full size version better, that being said, I quite like this. It's very cool it can be used for both, it makes a very refreshing primer and isn't greasy like some can be. It is a very refreshing setting spray as well. I used this the other day and it extended the life of my foundation pretty well through the day. I don't know how well it works for touch ups, but if it works as well as it does for the other things I think it would help refresh your makeup pretty well too.

Benefit Cosmetics POREfessional Face Primer Review

Hey guys!! How have you all been? Today I'm reviewing the Benefit Cosmetics POREfessional Face Primer.  This is interesting to me because it's tinted like a foundation or concealer. As far as making a nice base,  it works fine,  covers pores and stuff. I would bit say however thus helps my makeup last much longer. It helps a little,  but not enough I'd likely purchase this.  Does it work well for anyone else? Personally I much prefer my  Trust Fund Beauty Gimme Good Face - Face Primer  to this. It's the only one I've tried so far that really keeps my makeup looking nice all day long.

Trust Fund Beauty Gimme Good Face - Face Primer Review

  Hey guys!! How was your week? Mine has been nice, just very busy.   Today I thought I'd review the Trust Fund Beauty Gimme Good Face- Face Primer.   When I first opened this and applied it, it honestly grossed me out. The texture feels so so strange. It is like grainy and greasy.   However that being said, I actually love it. It is a very good primer and makes a really good base for my foundation.   It makes my foundation last without my face looking shiny much longer.   So as grossed out as I was at first I really like it and would recommend it. I am even considering buying it myself when I run out. :)

Two Faced Hangover Replenishing Face Primer Review

Hey guys!! Today I'm reviewing the Two Faced Hangover Replenishing Face Primer.  I really really like this primer. It makes a very nice base for my foundation. The formula is great to, it's like a very light non greasy lotion and a little goes a long way. It smells ok as well. I'm not sure how much it actually makes my makeup last longer,  but it definitely makes it look nicer. I'd definitely recommend this to you guys if you'd like a nice light primer. :)

Smashbox Cosmetics Photo Finish Primer Oil Review

Hey guys! How's your week going?  We had a super bad storm here last night so I've barely slept, therefor if this review is a little all over the place I'm very sorry. I actually am not crazy about this. I've never used a face primer before so I'm not sure if they are all like this, but I feel like this just makes my skin feel super greasy and it takes an eternity to soak in.  I guess it does kinda make my foundation look a little better and last longer, but I don't find my foundation to be a problem without it normally anyway. I probably won't purchase this just because I don't think it's worth it for me. If you're interested though like I said it does kinda help.

ELF Eyelid Primer review

I thought I would do another ELF review for you guys today, so I'm gonna review the ELF Eyelid Primer(sorry about the slight glare in the picture).  It comes in a little tube that actually feels very light and you kinda have to move the applicator around a bit to get the product out, but it isn't hard by any means. I have the one in sheer and it goes on very light and actually seems to even out the skin tone some as well. It works really well, I'm used to wearing my eye shadow without any primer and when I do that it starts creasing pretty bad, but with this primer I can wear it all day pretty much from like 8am to 8pm and it's just barely creasing even then, so I would definitely recommend trying this. If you have SUPER oily skin I don't know that it would work quite as well, but you could still give it a try and see, I mean it only costs $1.00 so it's a really good deal for this product and if it doesn't work for you, you won't have spent a for...
