Aveeno Positively Ageless Tinted Moisturizer

So, with this tinted moisturizer, it is said to help even tone and texture and has natural looking coverage while protecting with SPF 30. The one good thing I can say about this product, is it actually smells pretty good. Unfortunately that is where the good stops.

With one pump, out come a big dab of what looks like thick, dark foundation. I have the color Light to Medium but this is no way okay for light skin tones. 

At this point, I was still thrown off by the texture as I applied it to my skin. I figured it would just blend in and not look so dark once it was applied. Again, I was wrong. It has a very thick, sticky texture while applying it and doesn't blend very well. The stickyness will eventually go away but what is left is a heavy feeling of makeup on my now orange face.

I only used one pump to cover my entire face, and blended as best as I can to be left wearing a mask. I have tried less, but the result is the same. Once the moisturizer is applied and drys, it has a stiff feeling to it.  I have slightly sensitive skin as well, so I did experiance a mild tinling/burning sensation. 

I am aware that not everyones skin is the same, and not everyone may have the same experiance that I have had but I do not recommend it to anyone with sensitive skin.

EyesLipsFace Mineral Face Primer

"Transform your face into a flawless and smooth canvas with the Mineral Infused Face Primer. Developed to combat against excess oil, flaky dryness, enlarged pores and fine lines. This clear multipurpose skin primer will prepare your skin so makeup goes on evenly for a long lasting satin finish." EyesLipsFace

I just repurchased this face primer in Clear to try it out again. I used it when they first introduced it on their website and I had a good experience with it.

This primer  has become a major part in my everyday routine. It pumps out a generous ammount that will cover my entire face. It comes out as a "dry gel" that has a satin feel to it, and glides on very smooth. I have noticed that using a litle too much will cause your foundation to practially slide off.

My only problem is since starting to use this primer, it does clog pores and my face does break out more than before. I have started using a good soap to make sure it is all off of my face at night, and I try to give my face a break from my products on days I don't go to work which seems to balance it out.

If you are looking for a qood quality, inexpensive primer I would definitely recommed this one.

Have you tried this primer or one like it? Share your experience in the comments.

Urband Decay Midnight Cowboy

Glitter & Glam

This is one of my absolute favorite palettes.

The set comes with four colors, an eyeliner and a lip gloss.

Midnight Cowboy

Shiny Peach

Midnight Cowboy Rides Again

Shiny Peach/Tan

Midnight Cowgirl

Shiny Gold/Champagne 

Romp

Shimmery Purple

These colors are gorgeous but they have one downfall - massive, chunky glitter with a lot of fall out.

They are very dry, dusty shadows and the glitter tends to get everywhere but the colors are worth it.

The eye liner comes in the color Whiskey. It is one of the 24/7 Glide On Liners.

It is smooth and looks great on.

My least favorite of the set would be the lip gloss, which also is full of glitter and is incredibly sticky.

I bought this palette straight from Urban Decay in their Clearence/Last Chance area.

In my own opinion, this is a great palette given the set back of all the glitter.
