Benefit Lemon Aid

I am busy preparing for a trip that is why there is a scarcity of posts. Anyway, I will blog tonight as much as I can to make up for lost time. Here is Lemon Aid, part of the Confessions of a Concealaholic palette. I did not bother to make it pretty. After all, this is how most girls use their make up unless you’re OC. I took the photo in December. I already hit pan on this but I still have a long way to go. Lemon Aid’s texture is similar to Elianto’s eye primer. I use my fingers to apply this so that I can distribute it evenly on my lids. It has a yellow tint and it goes on yellow on my lids too. It’s yellow to help brighten the dark spots on your eyes. If I don’t blend this properly, it creases and cakes. It does not make drugstore eyeshadow last longer although it does an okay job with the high end ones. Urban Decay shadows work best with this probably because it’s a really good eyeshadow brand. If you wear your make up in the morning, you would have to retouch after...

NARS Makeup Primer

This is one of two face primers that I own. It’s a white liquid that goes on clear on my face. There are no annoying smells but I did get a few rashes on my first week of usage.  It’s no biggie. I have sensitive skin and it was just adjusting. After that, I didn’t experience any more allergic reactions. I use a wedge sponge to apply this on my face. I tried using a brush but it felt like the product was just going around and around my face so I tried the sponge. Much better. I only need a pea-size amount to cover my entire face. My BB cream and foundation stay put a very long time. Sometimes I only need to re-touch in the afternoon after a long day’s bazaar or a long day at the mall. This is definitely worth its price.
