NARS Pro Prime Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base

When people find out that I write a blog about beauty products, they always ask me what my favorite product is. I tell them that is WAAAY too hard a question to answer. But I do tell them what product category I absolutely love and recommend everyone start using if they aren’t already: Eyeshadow primer. I can’t even imagine putting anything on my eyes without it. It just doesn’t make sense. So needless to say,…

MAC Paint Pot in Painterly – Amazing eyeshadow base!

This is definitely a product I had been meaning to try forever, but for one reason or another (didn’t want to spend the money, had something similar already, was lazy, etc.) but now that I finally did, I’m obsessed and not sure how I ever lived without it.

I’m at the point where it is virtually impossible for me to apply even the most basic simple eye shadow without a primer. It just feels wrong. It would be like applying foundation before your apply moisturizer or washing your face. Eye shadows just looks so much better with a base! I can’t imagine applying them without a primer (unless they are cream-based). I feel like I’ve written about Urban Decay’s original Primer…

Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion’s new shade

Beth — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 15:00:00 +0000

Being such a huge fan of Urban Decay’s original eyeshadow primer portion, I practically ran to Sephora when I heard they were coming out with a new shade , Sin. My basic everyday shadow is a champagne shimmer anyways, so the idea of my primer being a shimmer makes sense. Now I can get a little extra shimmer by using Sin under my favorite frosts and shimmers, and save my original UDPP for…
