What can you do in 1 minute? Unusual Beauty Tip Alert!

Ok, what I am about to share might just absolutely shock you. When I came back from living overseas two years ago and started walking the aisles at Ulta, I learned that women everywhere were applying something called, "a primer". Primers go on after your moisturizer and before your concealer or foundation. They smooth out lines, make your pores appear smaller, extend the wear of your makeup, & generally make your face feel like precious pearls. In my humble opinion, they also come in impossibly small sizes and cost alot, between $28 and $40.

So, since I too want youth, and the appearance of a lifted face that is as soft as a baby's behind, I did a little research and found that budget savvy women had discovered an awesome alternative.

Monistat Chafing Gel Powder (Blue Tube), is a genius dupe for high end primers and can be found at your local drugstore or nearest Target. I will hold my tongue, and hold all jokes the name of this product & it's description incites for me;) Mainly, because I think this stuff is amazing! It works exactly as a good primer should, is totally worthy of trying on your face (It did not break me out although it is silicone based), & it's pocket friendly, in the vicinity of $5-$6 dollars a tube.

I recently found Rimmel made a drugstore primer that is tinted & now I mix the two together & am loving the results. Photos annexed sans makeup & after w/ primer & blush. Rimmel Fix & Perfect is around $7. Hope you have a super rest of the day. Till next time wishing you His Peace & Grace. xoxo Claudia~
