Weekly favorites!

Howdy all,

Just wanted to share a few favorites that I've been using all week. I think it's beed a good makeup week for me. Probably because I got some new goodies and I've been having fun playing with them but Ii've also had a lot of fun coming up with cute summer looks.

The goods: 

1. It Cosmetics CC+ Radiance Palette

2. Too faced à la mode eyes palette: jardin has been my go to lid color :) 

3. Tarte BB tinted undereye corrector in Medium to Tan

4. Tarte Amazonian Clay liquid foundation in Tan 

5. It Cosmetics Celebration Foundation in Tan 

6. It Cosmetics brush: I don't know the name but it;s the large face brush 

7. NYX Pore Filler primer   

- The Tarte undereye corrector has been the MVP this week. I have not been sleeping well but this guys has helped me look like I have! I've been using it with different concealers and highlighters and it has not let me down. 

- The Tarte foundation has been great since my skin has been really oily skin but I would not recommend it for dry skin. 

- The It Cosmetics Celebration Foundation is by far the best powder foundation I have ever tried! 

What products have you been loving this wee? Any MVPs? I would love to hear what other people have been wearing :)

NYX Pore Filler

Hello all,

Today I wan tot talk about my current favorite primer, its the NYX Pore Filler. I bought this before I owned any NYX products and was just trying to explore the brand. Over the last 6 months it has become my favorite primer. It is silicone feeling and has dimethicone like most pore filling primers.

You can see from this picture that I have given it lots of love and gotten it dirty. I am actually about to finish it and will be using my scissors to get to the last of it. It is just as good as any of the mid-end $30 primers but at $13.99 ulta.com it is a great value. I find that it is a dupe for the Too Faced Primed and Poreless and I will actually not be repurchasing the Too Faced primer. Both are cruelty free and work well on me so there is no reason to pay $30. 

I don't have any Benefit primers so I can't compare them but I would really recommend this wonderful primer for anyone in the market for a new primer. NYX is often buy one get one free at Ulta and CVS so you could even get it for cheeper. Seriously, this is a wonderful primer. 

I should add that I have combination skin and huge pores. If anyone has had a bad experience with it let me know or let me know if you also love it. I don't remember having a problem with this primer when I had really dry skin this winter. I did just have a few really oily days and used this primer but I think my problem was of not having the right foundation so I could not tell if the primer made a difference. 

Parting thoughts: 

-I hope everyone has a great weekend! 

-Dont' forget to check the Sunday paper for coupons. I've been having a lot of luck with those. I just bought an Almay liquid lip balm in lilac love for less than $2 with the $4 off coupon I got in last weeks paper :)
