I hope everyone had a great weekend! I had such a great weekend celebrating two of my closest friends; one who got engaged (yay!!) and one who had her baby shower for her expecting twins (double yay!!). I couldn’t be happier for you guys! And the happiness continues as we’re gearing up to see my family tomorrow in Cape Cod to celebrate my grandma’s 84th birthday, woop woop!
So I’m probably the only idiot who actually gets excited when my makeup and beauty products run out as it forces me to shop around for a new one! Well, I had finished my face primer so the quest for a new one began! Fear not though, I always have samples and backups on hand, in this case being L’Oreal’s Magic Lumi Primer which I actually REALLY like for a drugstore cheapy! Why even get a different one and not just stick with the L’Oreal you ask? Short answer because I’m cray cray. Moving on, I started looking on Sephora to see if there were any new primers out there or if I should repurchase a past favorite of mine, I have always really liked Stila’s One Step Correct as well as Hourglass’s Veil Mineral Primer SPF 15 and would definitely buy them each again in a heartbeat.
Suddenly I see that Benefit just came out with a new primer and I was too intrigued not to buy (damn you Benefit and you’re catchy packaging and marketing), the Stay Flawless 15-Hour Primer. It hasn’t even hit all stores yet (my Boca store has yet to receive any) and yet it already has amazing reviews! The primer claims to act like a magnet to lock on your foundation for up to 15 fresh and flawless hours. The stick can glide directly on to skin or you can use your fingers to apply and then either use fingers or blush to blend in. A consumer-panel showed the following impressive results:
-94% said it helped foundation last longer
-97% saw an improvement in the look of skin/complexion
-94% said it increased foundation coverage
-97% said it enhanced foundation’s performance
And you wonder how I could pass this puppy up?! Well, I tried it for myself this weekend and I have to say I loooved it!! The primer itself felt so light on my skin and it did wonders to my makeup! It truly did last all day long and still looked perfectly intact when I washed it off at night. It is a definite must try in my opinion!
Cheers to a great week!
