Urban Decay Primer Potion Testimonial

Urban Decay Primer Potion Testimonial

Here’s another testimonial of the Urban Decay Primer Potion. It can be found at Sephora and Ulta stores. Have YOU tried it or another product recommended here? Write to me at dollcosmetics@gmail.com and tell us what you think!!!

Hey Jenni!

So I have to just tell you that I FINALLY got the Urban Decay Primer Potion that you talk so highly of all the time.  I’ve wanted it for a long time, but couldn’t make myself spend the $20 when I didn’t know if I’d really love it.  So I asked for it for Christmas and I just have to say that I’m kicking myself for not buying it sooner.  It totally works and I love it!!  Thanks for recommending it!

And the great thing about having my husband get it for me for Christmas was that he got the giant tube of it for me!

My husband’s career has brought us to unknown territory. We have moved to Utah. Just this last weekend in fact, so be patient with tutorials coming. I had recorded a quite a few before packing started and I’ve posted the very last one with the Sigma brush review. Our place is finished on Saturday and are just crashing with family for right now. Talk to you soon when the dust settles =).

Sigma Brush Review

Sigma Brush Review

I had someone ask about Sigma brushes but I had never used them and couldn’t give my opinion….until now. Sigma was kind enough to send me a few to review for you. I chose ones that I would use the most and therefore recommend the most.

CG Thick Lash Mascara

CG Thick Lash Mascara

We were taking our oldest son to a birthday party and I thought I had gotten myself completely ready when a quick glance in the mirror showed otherwise. I had put on my False lashes like normal but then didn’t put any mascara on to blend them. It was VeRy visible to me that I had black lashes resting on my natural brown ones….WHAT KIND OF A MAKEUP ARTIST AM I????? My husband said he couldn’t tell, but…..he’s a guy…..enough said. We stopped at a drug store and I grabbed the cheapest mascara I could find (that WaSn’T the green and pink bottle disaster!*) and it turned out to be this one. It cost just over $5 and I figured I could do a review on it as well. I liked that it was thick and did just what I wanted it to. I even liked the smaller wand, which I don’t normally. I didn’t love that quality as much when I used it on my natural lashes unfortunately. Give me a large curved wand any day when I’m not wearing my falsies! The only thing that left me a little blah was that it seemed to take a while to dry. Like I was scared to blink too soon…which leads to me keeping my eyes wide open like a dummy…which leads to my son never getting invited to another birthday party. Let’s just say that it is worth the money for me since I am usually wearing false lashes but I’ll be sure to give myself a few ticks of the clock before I step out into the cold with wide open eyes!

*I am always shocked and dismayed to see posters and signs all around the Maybelline Great Lash mascara as saying it’s the #1 purchased mascara. That it’s the makeup artists secret (c’mon Carmindy…REALLY???). The only reason that it may be #1 is that people pick it up out of habit or they don’t KnOw any better!!! Let’s change this ladies by spreading the word that it is pure JUNK!!! The only “secret” to me still having it in my kit is for when I actually need the model to have smeared makeup. Yuck, yuck YUCK!!!!!
