Dr B Primer

Get Primed! I’m talking Primers today featuring my Pore Refiner Primer sent over from Dr. Brandt Skincare...

The Pores No More Pore Refiner Primer is a definitive cult-favorite which combines a pore refiner with a makeup primer! Created for all skin types - but since it was designed to mattify and control shine with oil absorbing spheres, I use mostly on my t-zone as I have very dry skin.

I would definitely highly recommend for normal to oily skin types who I think would really love this one!

Instant gratification - I love that this primer provides immediate help in reducing the appearance of the pores all over my t-zone! And, better yet, over time I’ve noticed that my pores are less visible as this is also a skin treatment featuring ingredients like Salicylic Acid, Red Clover Flower Extract & Tea Tree Oil (I love this stuff!) to clean, unclog + shrink my pores! Yay!

👉 My Tip: This creates the perfect canvas for makeup but I really adore how it looks all by itself, so I use as the very last step in my morning routine.

* FYI: you can find a mini size of this gorgeous primer at Sephora for $22.00 

Thanks again to Dr. Brandt for kindly gifting this to me!

Do you use makeup primers??

Beauty Pie Product Review: The Genius

Superluminous Undereye Genius from Beauty Pie 

Key Benefits include:

• Brightens with “high luminous anti-fatigue pigments”
• Refreshes with Linoleic Acid (an Omega-6 fatty acid) & Vitamin E for “skin barrier repair”
• Utilizes MDI Complex (a marine glycosaminoglycan) to reduce the appearance of dark circles
• Instantly smoothes the delicate under eye skin & minimizes fine lines

How to use:

After applying your fave eye cream, tap on a very tiny amount of the Genius (I use the BP Flawless Finish Concealer Brush 😉) then follow with a light application of concealer. The Genius can also be applied throughout the day as needed (I don’t seem to need to reapply).

My Results: appearance of dark circles are minimized and I notice a soft, subtle luminosity that does brighten my under eye area. I like this because it downplays my under eye bags 🤪 

This product comes in two colors: light/medium and medium/deep. I use light/medium. The medium/deep appears to have more of peachy undertone whereas the light seems to be more of a pale pink tone.

Product Review: Benefit Cosmetics Brow Gel

I recently received the Benefit Cosmetics 24-hour Brow Setter Clear Brow Gel complimentary from influenster YAY! 😃

I have very sparse eyebrows and as I get older they seem to be thinning out even more - how is that even possible 🤪. I love this brow gel because it really helps to shape my brows (they need all the help!! 😉) and locks on my other eyebrow makeup like Benefit Goof Proof Brow Pencil or Precisely My Brow Pencil 🥰

Features: an invisible gel finish that’s flexible & flake-free 🙌

Two sided: longer bristles ideal for evenly coating the brow hairs. The shorter bristles are used to shape & sculpt brows - think Wolf Brows 🐺 (aka the laminated look).

I always look & feel better when I define my eyebrows...how about you?? 😊
