Benefit Stay Don't Stray

          I had a mini benefit's stay don't stray primer for a while, but I forgot where I put it. So, I wasn't able to use it. A few days ago I remembered the primer and searched everywhere in my room in order to find it. I finally found the primer, which was in a drawer near my bed, after I sat down and thought real hard where it might be.

          This primer has an applicator like the ones found in lip glosses and is a light/medium color. At first glance, the color of the primer looks like my UD one. However, my UD primer is colorless when applied, while benefit's primer would leave the light/medium color. Benefit's primer is also more on the liquid side and easy to apply. I think this primer would be a great base color and I later found out that benefit's primer can be used as a primer for concealer as well (pretty nice). Next time when I use concealer, I will use this primer and see how well it works.   

Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion

As a little kid, I always enjoyed playing with my mom's makeup because I think makeup is so fascinating. I sometimes wish that I could grow up faster so I could buy those big makeup sets in department stores. In the meantime, I just used the kiddy makeup and even got questioned for putting on makeup :( Also, my mom always say that makeup is bad for your skin and I should use it when I'm older. So, I never asked to buy real makeup. The first time that I had actual excuse to put on makeup was in high school because I was in color guard and we were required to put on makeup for performances. I tend to stop using makeup after each season because I don't won't to spend time in the morning to put it on or take off at night. 

 Makeup really became a big part of my life since two and a half years ago. My first eyeshadow palette is the NYC eyeshadow palette for brown eyes. The little palette had four colors, a highlighter and a primer. I never used the highlighter because I didn't what it was for. I would use the primer even though I wasn't really sure what purpose it serves. Most of the time though, my eye makeup either smeared or melted by mid day. So sometimes I feel like I didn't need to remove my makeup at night. At that time, I really wanted to find something that could help keep my makeup in place, but I didn't know where to start. 

 My life changing moment came about a year and a half ago when I received a sample size Urban decay eyeshadow primer potion. The first time I used it before putting on my eyeshadows, my eyemakeup actually lasted the whole day. From that day forward, I knew I found a solution to helping my eyemakeup to stay put. Ever since then, I could not put on eyemakeup without UD's primer potion. I know that it's a bit expensive, but I personally think that the primer is so worth it.
