Makeup reviews

The Maybelline primer and Maybelline foundation compact are working out great! I have used them for 2 days now. The Maybelline foundation compact is as good as the Cover Girl one I have used in the summer for a few years now. And the primer is as good as the Laura Mercier one I think. Thank goodness one of the drugstore brands came out with a primer, because I really don't think I can justify the expense of Laura Mercier or Smashbox.

Sadly, the Cover Girl lipstick I just bought is a bust. It's that Outlast stuff in coral silk with a separate clear gloss stick. The gloss is fine, but the coral silk is just awful. It looks like it's frosted, which I hate. It does stay on for hours, but who wants that when the color is so ugly? Now I'm afraid to try drugstore lipsticks again. I have a bunch of old lipsticks that I will drag out to see if any of the colors has come back in style. If they don't look good I guess I am back to the Paula Begoun nude illusion lipstick which I do love, but I don't like paying shipping. Nor do I like waiting for it to be shipped.

When the Estee Lauder blush stick runs out I will have to determine the best drugstore cream blush.

A toute a l'heure
