KORRES™ Quercetin & Oak Antiaging Eye Primer

Hi, Everyone! I hope that you have been doing well since the last post. In this post I have a review for you. It's the Korres eye primer. When I received this I had just went ti Ulta and purchased the Too Face Shadow Insurance from Ulta (It was on sale...) Anyway, you know how much I love the NYX eyeshadow base. And I could not wait to try the two new bases I got. First of all I love the fact that it is made without; Parabens,- Sulfates, Synthetic Dyes, Petrochemicals, Phthalates, GMOs, Triclosan. What it does: This primer provides a 360-degree smooth canvas around the delicate eye area, ensuring crease-proof, long-lasting eye shadow and concealer wear. Enriched with quercetin and oak extracts, it minimizes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles to provide softer skin while visibly improving skin texture. The apricot undertone instantly corrects darkness and imperfections on the eyelid and undereye area.(Info Courtesy: www.korresusa.com)
Overall, I like the product I used it for about a month. I have to say that given the long days my make-up stayed in place. I really don't have very oily lids, even though I do have oily skin. It retails for $21.00 if you are in the market for a primer this is very good one to think about.

****I received the sample products with compliments from BeautyStat.com, but the review is my own objective opinion. If possible, we would greatly appreciate if you could include in your review the following call to action:

Review: MAC Paint Pot in Painterly - VS- NYX Eyeshadow Base in Skin Tone

Hello! Lately I have been using eyeshadow bases like crazy. Now, you know how much I LOVE MAKE-UP PRIMER, right??. Well I've been trying out different bases to use under my eyeshadow everyday. For the most part I will generally grab what my whatever is near me to use as my eyeshadow base (concealer, foundation, jumbo eye pencils,etc). I have had the MAC paint pot for while and since I got it. I have used it barely, but I do enjoy having it. While on the other hand I use the NYX jumbo eye pencils at least 2-4 times a week as a base. So, now most of you know I love me so NYX products! Well in the last few months they have come out with these WONDERFUL eyeshadow bases. There are 3 base colors in total which are Skin Tone, Pearl, and White. The nyx bases are to help hold the color all day. Which I can say is true. Now, MAC paint pot in Painterly has quite a following in it's own right also. This is a wonderful base as well. And does a GREAT job also at keeping eye color in it's place as well. So, I was curious as to see how they compare to each other. Today, I applied my mac paint pot on one eye and the nyx eyeshadow base on the other. They both are equal in staying power and giving you the color impact you want and need from a base. So if you need great eyeshadow base these are two AWESOME options for you to choose from. The MAC paint pot(s) cost $16.50 and the NYX eyeshadow base(s) cost $7.00. Also you may luck up and be able to catch a NYX cosmetics on sale in your area or at nyxcosmetics.com. If you are looking for MAC check your mall or maccosmetics.com. Until next time.....Enjoy!
Xoxo,
Y.

Quick Fix

(Photo Courtesy: 3mstationery.com)

Have you ever had one of your favorite eye shadows or blush(s) fall out it's compact? You had no idea how to make it stay, right? Well let me share my tip with you. I had this happen to me and I was not about to throw out the eyeshadow (or deal with the hassle of going back to the store to exchange it). One I was in Office Depot and I saw this foaming tape and I thought that would work. Ladies, let me tell it worked out great! I purchased the Scotch Foam Mounting Squares for under $4.00. I just cut the size I need,place it at the bottom of the container and press the loose eye shadow (or blush) back into place. Be careful when you press it back. You want to make sure that you don't break you product. I get to keep my make-up in the proper compact and no more worries! So if this ever happens to you remember this tip. Until next time...
