Intro+Mini Haul

I love watching youtube tutorials and reading blogs on new and old products! I find tips and advice that I would have never known otherwise. I hope my advice and reviews on any and all things beauty can help you as so many of yours have help me :) So heres to life, beauty and happiness!


I've never worn face primer,  though eye primer (urban decay) has always been a top product of mine! I tend to have oily, break out prone skin and was looking for a way to keep my make up lasting longer (I go to work at 6am everyday!). 


I have to admit that the products below are my first L'Oreal purchases. I saw the new "Studio Secrets" line in target and was interested in trying the "Magic Perfecting Base" and also the the "Anti-dull Primer" and "Anti Redness Primer". A local drug store was having a buy one get one 50% off, so I picked up one of each!


My Thoughts
I bought these only knowing that a face primers were said to help the application and staying power of your make up. First, I must say that the texture of the smoothing resurfacing primer is lovely! It has a fluffy feeling to it and when applied to the skin gives you this baby soft feeling. I have to hand it to L'Oreal on the overall texture and ease that it takes to apply. It left my skin with a matt finish and I had to irritations or break outs.

My First thoughts on the other two primers were that that they were runny and not sticky. I had heard some poor views on the anti dull and anti redness primers but nevertheless wanted to try them out for myself. The first time I used all three products together, I fell in love! My skin looked bright, healthy and even toned. It covered the light scaring that I had on my face and in pictures my make up looked fabulous! I ran out to buy more and only to find that every store about my area was sold out! After some searching I purchased more since the discount was so great. I'd like to end this review here, but sadly I can't. With continued use I noticed that my skin was overwhelmingly shinny and that after an hour or two it looked horrible!


Where Is It Available?
From what I've seen you can buy it from almost any local drug store and also Target.

Cost?
They retail for around $12.99 but it's definitely a steal if you can get it on bogo!

Would You Purchase It Again?
With continued use of this product I noticed that my skin seemed to be more oily than usual. I changed nothing in my skin routine other then adding this product. Though I do love the initial  feeling and look it leaves my skin with and how my make up seems to glide on, I don't think I will be repurchasing these products. Though, now I have a bunch of them! I will continue using them here and there and definitely update whether I've changed my mind about them or not. Thanks so much for reading and I hope this review helps anyone that's thinking about trying out these products!! Take care :)
