My Favorite Primers of 2017
Part two of our "favorites" series is for my favorite makeup primers for 2017.
Above are my 3 favorite primers that worked the best for me in 2017. I have used many others this past year, but some did not impress me, or just didn't work at all. I can't stand a primer that "pills-up" when interacting with my face moisturizers. That is infuriating!
#3 - The Ordinary High Spreadability Fluid Primer from The Abnormal Beauty Company.(That's a mouthful, huh?) This is less than $10.00 from The Ordinary, and it works great!! It really does give the appearance of smoother skin, and really helps with the look of pours and lines. My makeup really glides on to this product, and makes it last longer as well.
#2 - PUR -No Filter Blurring Photography Primer - This gives an illuminated look to the skin so your makeup with look brighter and fresher. I love the way this feels, and makes my foundation look. You can also adda drop to your foundation for a "dewey" look, or tapped on cheeks as a highlighter.
#1 - TIME BALM Face Primer from the Balm Cosmetics. - This is another fabulous product from The Balm that I have been using for going on three years now. Since we started carrying the Balm at Kohl's I have been using this for most of the time.
I hope you will check out some of these great primers and see for yourself which ones you will like the best!
Join us again tomorrow for another favorites of 2017 - next time.........Setting Sprays!

My 5 Favorite Foundations for 2017
The next few days we are going to talk about my favorite finds for 2017, beginning with foundations.
Starting at #5 we have the Cover Girl Vitalist Healthy Elixir- I really like the way this goes on, and looks on the skin. For a "drug store" foundation I am pretty impressed.
#4 is Dermacol- This is a very thick but very blend-able foundation that gives great coverage. I was not so sure about it but had seen so many of my favorite You-Tuber Vloggers using this I had to see for myself so I could pass the information on to you. It covers, it does not settle into lines and it really looks very nice on the skin.
#3 Loreal Visible Lift Serum Absolute.- Not so sure about "lift" but I really like how this foundation blends out, is a light to medium coverage but is build-able. I don't find it settles into lines, and if you have aging skin, this is super important.
#2 is Estee Lauder Double Wear Nude - I know this is not cruelty free (and I am really trying to lean that way going forward) , but again, there has been so much buzz about this and how great it is that I just had to try it. If you do just one coat, it is pretty nude. It is very build-able though so you can get pretty good coverage if you do a second go-round, even if it's just with a damp beauty blender. Not one to settle into lines either and again, extremely important.
#1 - is the EVEN STEVEN Whipped Foundation from The Balm Cosmetics. This is THE BEST Foundation I have even used.........EVER!! At $22.00 it's a bargain on top of the great performance. A little goes a VERY long way, and the jar can last up to 5 months........and I kid you not!!! The first one I bought when it was released was a color for summer. I wore it almost every day unless I was trying out something new (like the others above) and I didn't even get 1/2 way through the jar! I got a lighter color for winter that I purchased in October and I am not even 1/4th of the way through it and I have been using it daily when I go to work, so that's at least 4 times a week. I honestly cannot say enough positive things about this, and I hope you take my advice and try it out for yourself.
Thanks for reading!! Tomorrow we will have my favorite makeup primers for 2017!!

FABULOUS FINDS FRIDAY! BH Cosmetics Palette ShaaanXO
For $14.50, one of the nicest palettes I have purchased in a while!!
One side are 9 shadows, and all really nice colors. Very "blendable", and not a
great deal of fall-out.
Flip it over, and it's 9 lipsticks in pan formula, and I love them!!!
Really pretty colors.........and they really seem to last a long time when
I wear them! I have used 3 of the colors so far, as some are pretty
bright for winter time, so I will be saving them for spring and summer!
I purchased this at Kohl's as we are carrying BH Cosmetics at least for the holidays.
I am hoping that we continue!!
