BENEFIT STAY DON'T STRAY PRIMER

As I’ve mentioned to you girlies before, I’m a huge eyeshadow maven. With all these youtube tutorials, I think I have different eyeshadow looks for the rest of my life.  As many of you know when you first apply that fresh coat of eyeshadow on your lids, the colors looks great. Amazing pigment! Bold and strong! But by the end of the day if you have oily  lids like I do,  your eyeshadow colors can look a hot greasy mess and plain old ugly. Primer is key. Anyway, I’ve been using the Two-Face Shadow Insurance for years, but  recently picked up Benefit Stay Don’t Stray Primer

This is a little heavier than my Two-Face Shadow Insurance.   It kind of felt as if I was putting a concealer on my lid. I followed the instructions and applied three dots to each lid and waited for it to dry. 

3 Dots

You can also put this under your eyes, and it promises to adhere to your concealer but I didn’t do that. Anyway, I applied my eyeshadows and walked out the door. Around 3 hours later, I looked in the mirror, and my eyeshadow colors were still going strong. No creasing, and no oiliness at all. Six hours later, there was slight oiliness, but nothing that would make me want to break out my eyeshadow brush and reapply. By the end of my 8 hour day though my eyeshadow still looked pretty good. There was definitely oil present, but it wasn’t necessary for me to break out the eyeshadow brush. I do like this. and I'll definitely use it till it's finished. Not sure if it will be replacing by Two Faced Shadow Insurance.   The thing that bothers me about this product though is I feel like I’m wasting a lot of it. 

The pump pumps out way too much product.

It’s annoying because I had to throw the excess out. Nothing annoys me more than being wasteful (actually that's not true, people who blast their ipod music on the subway thinking the whole train needs to hear their playlist,  really annoy me).  At $24.00 I don’t want to waste any of this primer.  This gets about a B in my book.

Dark Circles-No way! & New Giveaway!

I love love Mr. DE. He’s my heart and soul and there’s nothing I wouldn’t do for him. However, there is one thing about him that drives me absolutely crazy. At exaclty 12 in the morning, he begins to snore. I’m not talking about low sounding snores. NOOOOOOOOOOO, I’m talking about the most obnoxiously loud snores you’ve ever heard. I sometimes wonder if my neighbors can hear him. I can be in the most blissful sleep of my life, and will suddenly be awaken by the disgusting sounds coming from his nose. It kills me. Lately, it’s been happening every night, so usually I wake him up and make him sleep in the living room but I can still hear him even when he’s all the way in the next room. It drives me nuts, and I loose a lot of sleep because of it. Now, since my average sleep is about 3 hours a night, you would think my eyes would be loaded with dark circles. Not at all! You know DE wants to stay looking 21 forever so I make sure to prevent any damage to my face. I’ve mentioned this brand to you before, and honestly, I can’t believe how effective this woman’s products are. I’m a blogger so I get tons of products but this brand stands out to me so much because I do actually see serious results. Jan Marini Factor A for Dark Circles, makes me look as if I get tons of sleep at night.



It’s loaded with vitamin K and retinol. Vitamin K is known for repairing blood vessels and decreasing hyperpigmentation in the skin and and retinol decreases appearances of lines and wrinkles. After sleeping for only 3 hours per night, I should have dark circles like mad, but because I’ve been using this every night, I still look refreshed……..and like I’m 21. lol

I love this, and I want you to love it too.

I'm giving away a brand new bottle of Jan Marini's Factor A for Dark Circles. Send an e-mail to BeautylogicBlog@yahoo.com telling me why you need this product. Winner gets announced Thursday.

Hugs,

DE
