It ended up being not that bad of a weekend for me. I wish I could have spent more time with certain people, but, alas, that happens.
The weather was actually nice today...its 37 degrees outside...
I have to say Im rather dissapointed with my Rare Minerals purchase of about a month ago..I havent noticed anything witg my skin except new dry patches. I shall finish the product and then give insight.
Got some new stuff by Stila, Nivea, and Olay. Will post.
Off to bake cookies!

Review time - Paula Dorf, Bourjois, L'Oreal
Hello again!
So I have a few reviews on some products that I hope will become staples in your MU bag, or at least give you some insight on brands you havent been privy too! These reviews will be rated on 0 to 5 scale, with 0 being worst, and 5 being best.
Let's get started!
A while ago, I was looking for a cheaper primer to use when practicing makeup looks. I went for L'Oreal's De-Crease. This is actually a really nice primer. It has a medium, really creamy consistency that is easily blendable. I noticed that it does not have a super tacky surface to it, but my shadows did stick and did not crease. I had more color payoff with it as well. For practice, or if you just dont want to spend much money on a primer, this is for you!

Next item is Paula Dorf's Eye Primer. This primer has become my favorite of all time! I have tried all the other primers, and while I still like some of them, none of them come close to this one. It is an extremely creamy, blendable primer that makes colors last and most importantly POP! It comes in pan container with twist off cap, so you will able to use all the product, and the cap is tight, so no drying. This primer is thick, so a little goes a long way. This is helpful to those who dont want to spend a lot of money, and get use out of their product. I have been using this since I got it, and I cannot imagine my makeup routine without it. The price on this is between 22-28 dollars, more than Too Faced Shadow Insurance or Urban Decay's Primer Potion, but WORTH EVERY PENNY!

This is Bourjois' Dose De Nacres. This is part of their "bourjois minis" line. These come in 15 colors, and they are all very nice and vibrant. They are like a chunky pigment with glitter. When you open the jar, some of the product is clumped, but do not let this dissuade you. These go on thick and shimmery! The color selection is a mix of classic solid colors like Gold or Blue, while others have 2-3 color shades. I like patting these on with my finger over a primed eye. super blendable, will give a heavy, thick layer if desired, and will also give a wash of color. These come in 1 gram jars with no shaker top. The price tag on these is about 8 - 10 dollars each, which I know sounds steep for such a small amount of product. But they give great color payoff!
