Under Cover (FX)- A Primer for Every Skin Type

For those who haven’t yet gotten the memo, a makeup primer is that very special base that you absolutely need in order to make your makeup go the distance. Temporarily filling fine lines and wrinkles in order to allow foundation to glide on and stay put, you can count on a primer to cure your skin and foundation woes with virtually no time or effort.

That established, why wouldn’t you want to turn to a company that specializes in the stuff? Offering up a primer for every skin type, for every season, Cover Fx is that very special brand that you can turn to when you wish to be primed to perfection.

Loreal Studio's Newest Secret- The Perfecting Base

Ladies and gents of the beauty blogosphere, allow me to let you in on a little secret. This one is of the affordable cosmetic variety, and it comes to us as a brand new part of the L'Oréal Studio Secrets cosmetics lineup.

Jan Marini Age Intervention Prime

Let's talk about Prime.

No, not Optimus Prime. Today we are going to focus on a different kind of prime(r), Jan Marini's newest- Age Intervention Prime.

 

Senna Cosmetics Lip Primer

Picture the following scenario

You are putting on your makeup in the morning, and you look absolutely adorable. Your eyes look perfect, your skin looks flawless, and your lips are plump and pouty.

You go about your daily routine at work, go through several meetings, several cups of coffee, and a meal. You go to the bathroom, and as you are washing your hands you casually glance at yourself in the mirror. To your horror, your lipstick has completely faded and you are left with a ring of faded color on the outline of your lips.

Not cute.

Senna Cosmetics has the cure for what ails you in its brand new addition to the Totally Transforming collection of anti-aging, problem solving correctors, Lip Primer. Senna lip primer is a creamy product that moisturizes and smooths lips while priming them for lipstick. It is pigmented enough to neutralize your natural lip color, and prevents fading and feather of lipsticks and lipliners.

Being a girl who doesn't touch her lips up often, has pigmented lips, and loves her lipstick; this primer is a gift from above. Oftentimes, I have used concealer or foundation to prime, but this primer is so much better than that. Not only am I concealing the fact that my lips are naturally very pigmented, but I am also ensuring my lipstick stays fabulous longer. Did I mention it makes lipsticks and liners glide like buttah?

Why/How it works:
This primer has collagen tripeptides, which stimulate collagen production to plump lips naturally
Contains HD mineral pigments to reflect light and diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
Contains an advanced silicone complex to fill in furrows and ensure that liner and lipstick lasts
The nude shade covers the pigmentation of the lips to help lipsticks and liners appear more true to color

This primer is golden, and really goes the distance. Another neat trick would be to apply and then top with clear gloss for a true nude lip. LOVE

The Senna Lip Primer is set to be released in the coming weeks, but in the meantime check out the website. Lots of fun stuff to be found, I assure you. ;)

More New Make Up For Ever

Because you know I am all about the Make Up For Ever ;)

The following has just popped up on Sephora:

Introducing Make Up For Ever UV Prime Makeup Primer with SPF 50

As far as I know, this is the first skin product with SPF that Make Up For Ever has released. They sure aren't fooling around, SPF 50 is serious sun protection! It is oil free, and moisturizing too; both huge pluses for me! What better way to keep your makeup in place in the blazing sun and heat of summer. Kudos MUFE!

I will be sure to check this out as soon as possible. What about all of you, are you on the Make Up For Ever train. Thoughts?
