Primers and why are they so important

Do you guys remember when you were younger and would take your mom make-up, or you went through that punk rock phase and all that black eyeshadow or liner creased?? Pretty huh? ..No I didn't think so either. It was about a year ago when I started to really to get back into make-up I had stopped wearing it because my sponge tips didn't make my eyeshadow look like it did on Gerad Way from My chemical romance .. ah the black and the red eyeshadow. Now I'm not bashing sponge tips I just didn't know how to utilize them. I learned everything pretty much from youtube watching gurus. The various Gurus would talk about udpp Urban decay primer potion, too faced shadow insurance, Loreal decrease , and Mac paint pots . Now I didn't know which one was the better one so I researched all of these primers . My first primer was loreal decrease I did like what it did for my wash of color it made the color pop and stay on longer .Then I got curious on other primers but udpp and tfsi was 17 each and I wasn't willing to spend that much for a while I was quite content with my loreal.. then I went off from my safety zone Champagne colored eyeshadow and tried light pinks and adding contour then after that I was hooked . Eventually I ventured out and bought udpp the big tube I had used a coupon and was pretty content with what I had paid . Udpp Changed everything ! After One use I had an Epiphany . I realized how much more pigmented my drug store eye shadows looked , how much less product I used .Now choosing a primer . If you have oily lids dry lids its what depends on what primer you choose I have dry lids but I use udpp and a base over that to get some sort of moisture . But either way I love udpp . other recent primer i've tried out is the elf eyelid primer . This Primer is awesome its very similar to udpp smooth application and evens out the skin tone but what makes the elf eyelid primer better is the price which is $1 and its amazing . If your on a budget the elf one is the one to pick makes the colors pop and prevents creasing for about 8+ hours but do take into account I work indoors with airconditioning so this may extend the wear .

Eyeko Macara

Omg where do I begin with this Mascara I'm in Love . ^_^ I got it in the mail a couple days ago and well I got happy I've heard so many good reviews on this mascara , Firstly let me talk about the Brush . The brush didn't look like it would do much for me I'm not exactly a mascara brush snob but well I'm very picky and it didn't look like it was going to do much like i've said earlier its so hard to describe but I'll have pics any way this weird looking brush separated my lashes perfectly and ran through my lashes with out a problem, Now the formula for this awesome mascara ... Its FRiggin amazing gives great length and volume . The formula is pretty wet but like with any mascara you have to be careful when applying so you don't mess up your pretty eyeshadow . Yes the formula is pretty wet but it dries quickly but if you want to apply more than 1-2 coats do not wait until its has completely dried it will clump but not to bad but it is build-able. Once this dries it's smudge proof and water proof which it does state on the packaging but , Eyeko states on the packaging that it has vitamin B to promote lash growth . Now i don't know how true this is because i've only used this a couple of times when I finish this tube I'll be sure to report any changes in my lashes . Lastly i want to talk about the packaging it comes in a Sqeezey tube which is fine by me .. except I don't think I'd carry it around just in case my mess inside my purse squeeze it and makes it burst .. oh no that would be very messy . this mascara can be purchased at Eyeko.com it's 8 pounds (british money) or $13.68 or so it's not more than $14 but it's good stuff and if you spend 10 British pounds or more you get a free sample but you have to use an ambassador code I have one that you may use E7407 Happy shopping at Eyeko.com oh and pic soon to come I promise my camera has been misbehaving >_

Lash Blash By Covergirl Review

Firstly let me introduce myself as a Make-up addict , Lately I've truly have been obsessing over Mascara in general . My current Tube is Lash blast by cover girl firstly this Mascara comes in a bright orange tube and comes waterproof and the regular. I personally love Waterproof mascara because I'm quite sensitive so I may do a bit of crying from time to time and I like to be ready so to speak .... any way. This mascara promises bold and volumized lashes with this formulation and brush. The Brush is obnoxiously big I have big eyes but I have to admit that this brush intimidated me at the beginning then after a couple days and coats of mascara I got the hang of it and I started to like the mascara . I really love the formula but the brush is way to big it's hard to get into the inner corner and because the brush is blunt flat at the tip it's quite hard to coat those lashes with out getting mascara on your nose Thus this may ruin your foundation if you do decide to use makeup remover which I don't recommend Wait for the mascara to dry and rub it off with a Q-tip and you'll be fine. Overall its an awesome mascara after you work out the "bugs" aka get used to the brush ..lol This mascara give me a Falsie look but bare in mind my lashes are quite long and the mascara lengthens and it gives me an exaggerated look but its ok I love this mascara even with the big obnoxious brush. Later kids pics soon to come
