Summer Wedding Makeup

Its wedding season again.

Don't we all just love wedding season?

Hi my name is Caitlin and I'm sarcastic, single, and a little bitter about weddings.

However, weddings are a great chance to dress up and play with some fancy makeup, which happens to be two of my favorite things!

Here's what I've been rocking this summer.

It's soft, feminine, and super easy to do.

Rimmel Primer Showdown

Hey Y'all! After an inexcusable amount of time, I'm back!

Today, I'm bringing you a review of two different drugstore primers. I'm somewhat new to the world of drugstore primers, but I've given these a good go and I'm ready to spill the details on them both!

Rimmel Stay Matte Primer

 

I was first drawn to this primer because of it's promise of matte skin. As you know, I have extremely oily skin and I'm always looking for something to keep it under control. All in all, I think this primer is a solid product for the price ($6.99 at Ulta). It didn't totally live up to it's claims of matte skin, but it did help keep the oil at bay. Its texture is nice and smooth, although a little hard to spread sometimes. My makeup lasts all day with this primer, but I would recommend a touch up with powder every once in a while. This primer is definitely not bad, and is probably my favorite of the two. 

Rimmel Fix & Perfect Pro

This primer promises a 5 in 1 result that "smooths, resurfaces, brightens, mattifies, and protects." Wow, thats a lot to live up to. Unfortunately, I didn't see any of these benefits in this primer. In fact, even as a basic foundation primer it disappoints. The only thing I like about this primer is it's consistency; its light, creamy and easy to work with. It gives a pretty airbrushed finished to your foundation, but that doesn't mean much if it only lasts for an hour or two. Do yourself a favor and skip this one. ($7.99 Ulta.com)

What's your favorite drugstore primer?
