Friday Faves: Primers

 All time fave: Smashbox Photo Finish Blemish Control

Oil free, helps keep skin clear, great base for foundation.
The green tint evens out redness and irritation, the feel is luxurious, and it makes make up application so smooth. This is my #1 primer ever!












Smashbox Photo Finish SPF 20

LOVE the feeling of this primer. The SPF is a great bonus, especially for summer.

MAC Prep + Prime

The feeling of this isn't as smooth as the Smashbox, it has more of a lotiony feel to it. It has luminosity/sparkle to it that brightens your skin. A great primer and your make up stays put!

Benefit the POREfessional

Benefit has great products, I use their Erase Paste often. The POREfessional is smooth and leaves a flawless face. The only drawback is this made my skin break out a little, so maybe not the best choice for oily skin like mine.

Friday Faves: Mascara

New feature for every Friday! I'll be posting my favorites - whether that be a certain kind of make-up, fave clothes, shoes, anything that comes to mind.


This week's feature is mascara.

I'm very specific about how I like my mascara. Many that I have tried are too wet and too thin. Here are the best:

MAC Zoom Fast Black Lash: Love this mascara. I seriously cannot rave enough about it. I originally got it in a sample with my MAC order and I fell in love.  $16

Benefit They're Real: This is another great mascara - it's slightly thinner than the MAC, but not a huge difference. The MAC is a darker black. $23

Maybelline Volume Express: Get it at any drugstore. This mascara is really thin and wet straight out of the package, but if you take the cap off overnight, it'll dry to an almost perfect consistency. The applicator is decent, but usually wears out before the mascara is gone. Even though it may not sound great, its great for the price. $7
