Urban Decay Primer Potion Review

Today I am reviewing one of the most beloved beauty products of America, the Urban Decay Primer Potion. The primer seems to have a particularly cult-ish following so I headed out to ULTA to get my hands on a bottle so that I could see what all the hype is about.

Product Description: From Sephora's website, "A 24-hour wear, nude eye shadow primer that ensures vibrant, crease-free wear. This primer keeps your eye shadow crease-free while making color more vibrant and providing a smoother application. Formulated with polymer technology, it fills in any imperfections on the skin’s surface, prepping lids for all-day wear. It glides on smoothly, blends beautifully on all skintones, and dries on invisibly.." Urban Decay also carries tinted versions and an anti-aging version of the same product.

Size: 0.37 FL/oz per tube. (I purchased it in a set of two.)

Review: Overall I wasn't too impressed with this primer. I don't know if it was because it just couldn't live up to the hype or if it really is just a mediocre primer. The formula isn't as great as they say and by no means keeps your makeup even remotely intact for 24 hours. After 8 hours of work and chasing after a five year old my eyeshadow was almost completely gone. I would rate this product a solid 2.5/5. A good (and much cheaper) dupe for this the $1 ELF primer.

Is there a product you were excited to try but the hype didn't live up to your expectations? Let me know in the comments section below.

Lush’s Jason and the Argon Oil Shampoo Bar Review

I suck. I know. I am horrible, horrible, HORRIBLE. I have been absent for nearly two weeks. There have been a few things to cause this, most of which is house hunting and packing. House hunting sucks. I used to think that would be fun to look at houses, I was so wrong. In a few weeks time, we have looked at roughly 16 houses. We have loved 4. By the time we stepped foot in the house, they already had several applications on it (we are renting, not buying—which means we get to do this again in a few years when we are buying. JOY.) We even got to be the first people to view a house within hours of it being “on the market”, but it already had four applications on it before we got ours in the next morning…FOUR. We kept getting passed over since we had to put in a 30 day notice for our apartment, and apparently, that’s too long of a wait for someone to move in. To remedy that problem, we put in our notice for our apartment. Our realtor told us it would be no problem finding a house we like...

IT Cosmetics VIP Dinner

This past weekend, I was lucky enough to be invited to a very special VIP dinner hosted by IT Cosmetics , along with fellow Dallas bloggers! The dinner included some divine food, champagne, fabulous makeup, and some incredibly fun company at Five Sixty by Wolfgang Puck atop Reunion Tower in Downtown Dallas. We were also treated to makeovers and a meet & greet with the Co-Founder, Jamie Lima. Being so new at blogging this was my very first experience like this, and let me tell you it was a great first experience. The night started off with some wonderful appetizers, that unfortunately I did not snap pictures of! The tables were also decorated with some of IT Cosmetics products! Adorable! Once we sat down for dinner, we learned more about the company and their products. I had known of the company prior to this due to the New Beauty Test Tube last spring. I received one of their fabulous brushes, which made me want to try the other prod...

MyStylit.com Review

I am about to lay some truth about motherhood on you. Your life forever changes- for the good, the bad and the ugly. The changes range from having your heart filled with a kind of love you never thought you could experience to having a kangaroo pouch from carrying a tiny human being for 10 months. Before I got pregnant, I loved to play around with my style and I loved shopping! Fast forward 6 years, and it's not nearly as much fun. When you have a little boy and husband in toe, both complaining about how bored they are or how much they would rather go to the Lego Store, its hard to put together outfits while shopping. Its hard to ENJOY shopping like that. Now being a mom, with a job in an office with a stricter dress code, I had to change my style up a bit too. I suddenly felt like I lost my sense of what pieces I should put together, I needed some inspiration, and I needed it bad! A friend of mine posted about a website called www.mystylit.com and she raved about how absolutely a...
