January Beauty Samples - Hourglass Veil Primer & YSL Shocking Mascara
Lately it seems as though I've ordered something from Sephora every month (with good reason, I HAVE). But I have an excuse this time (don't I always).
My blog mate here at N@N Melissa told me that one of the beauty points rewards available was a deluxe sample of Hourglass's Veil primer. I'd been contemplating buying the small tube simply to try it. Getting it free was an even better idea. I only had to decide what to order. She was even super awesome and gave me a $5 Wrapp GC toward the cause.
However I will put it up there in my top 3 or 4 primers (along with Smashbox's Photo Finish, Korres Quercetin & Oak Age-reversing Primer and MAKE UP FOR EVER HD Microperfecting Primer)

The hourglass primer isn't the magical cure-all I'd hoped I'd find...and now am beginning to think I NEVER will.However I will put it up there in my top 3 or 4 primers (along with Smashbox's Photo Finish, Korres Quercetin & Oak Age-reversing Primer and MAKE UP FOR EVER HD Microperfecting Primer)

Here's the macara itself:
I also scored this Yves Saint Laurent "Shocking" Mascara freebie. The package was so neat that I had to take a photo of it. It was setup like a perfume sample package but a bit larger. And VERY shiny. Ooooh, shiny.
The mascara clumps a little but not too badly. It does what it says it does--lengthens. And even better, it doesn't dry or irritate my eyes like some of the other brands I've sampled.
This is great for a freebie but I'm not sure its worth $30 for a full-size tube. Not when Benefit's is just as good for a mere $10.
So there you have it. Thanks for reading! <3

ReplyDeleteDid the primer make your face red like it does on me? I'm in love with that stupid stuff even if I'm kind of allergic haha.
omg I thought the YSL stuff was a perfume sample in your pic until it showed mascara.
Biatch you didn't tell me about this blog! How could you?! LOL I am not your typical girl's girl but I love all the accoutrement that goes with it.
Deletehaha forgive me Braine!! <333
DeleteI don't know shit about primers and my favorite mascara is Cover Girl because it doesn't clump and don't make me look like a radiometry after partying hard. And I'm cheap like that LOL
ReplyDeleteBuy a primer, makes your make up look better and last longer. :) Honestly most high end mascaras are equal to drug store. Very few are better.
