The Round Up #2 : Primers | Holy Chic

It wasn’t until I had my makeup done at the NARS counter about a year ago that I discovered that primer could be the answer to all of my prayers. If you have oil skin, it honestly becomes your best friend.

So I thought I would share with you in #2 of my round up series, some of the primers that I own and a low down on my thoughts on them.

 

Nspa instant blur primer: this has been working really well for me recently and after it being feature in countless posts, how could it not be in this. Creates an even base for the face and holds back the oils.

The body shop pore minimiser: I have done a more in depth review on this if you want to read more here  but for the most part I really like this. I love the idea of tea tree in it and it creates an even base for my moisturiser to go on top of

NARS pro prime, pore refining primer: after giving it a mostly negative review on this post , I think my feeling were clearly expressed but every so often it decides to work so who knows what the deal with this is really

Benefit porefessional primer: probably the most talked and hyped about primer and I understand why. I thought this was going to give me a white cast because of its colouring vs. mine but once rubbed in, it’s invisible. Its smoothes over the skin nicely, keeps the oils at bay and creates an even base for my moisturiser.

That is all of the primers I own! Let me know if you have tired any of these and let me know your thoughts on them.

The Round Up series : Eyeliner | Holy Chic

Something new for the blog today! J

 I thought I would start this mini round up series and today is eyeliner so I will show you my eyeliner collection I guess or at least the ones I would use. So, let’s begin J

 

1.       The eyeko eyeliners: I have paired these two together as I have the black and nave one and as I am pretty sure the entire world everyone knows that they were a free gift in the glamour magazine. And I have to say, I don’t like it that ,much. It is a very dry formula and may just dry out half way through doing your winged eyeliner. So, it’s a no from me

2.       Next is the P.S love felt eyeliner and this is another disappointment. It swatches a really intense black but on the lids, it’s like a grey colour and disappears in like 5 mins

3.       Next is the Miss Sporty brown eyeliner which doesn’t have the greatest lasting power but, its softens the eye look and gives off a more natural look

4.       I also own the Maybelline master precise eyeliner which I rave about which I still love to this day because you have precision and control. But over time the trip will dry out but not the base which is a bummer

5.       Model and Co eyeliner with the sharpener as the lid again doesn’t have the greatest lasting power but it’s on for a good amount of time and I like it J

6.       And the last two I guess work with an angled eyeliner brush. The MUA matte black eyeshadow will give a softer smokey look but the Maybelline eyestudio gel liner with give a bolder look

So there is my eyeliner collection and I think it’s good to have a mix of good and bad items. Variation right?

Have you tried any of these out? Let me know your thoughts on them in the comments below J
