Review: Sephora Base Sublimatrice Primer

Another review in the same day!

I was going to post both of these together but I was really tired and it was already 6 in the morning! My sleep schedule is very...wonky right now.

Here is a primer I have been using since earlier this spring. I decided to do a review on it since I haven't seen many reviews of this product online.

Swatch

Sephora actually does not carry this primer anymore it looks like (I just checked their website, no where to be found!) I'm guessing this is just a face primer that also doubles as a highlighter. Personally I just use this product for highlighting purposes only because when I try to use it as a primer, my face looks WAY too shiny! Almost on the borderline of appearing greasy. Yuck. Other than that, the shimmer in the primer is really nice. It's just right for highlighting the face and isn't sparkly at all.


What I like about it:

*It makes a great highlighter.
*Shimmer is JUST RIGHT.
*The packaging is quite cute actually.
*The price was awesome. I got this for $10.


What I don't like so much about it:

*Greasy if used as an all over face primer.


Overall, I would give this product a:

3/5


Mainly because I bought this thinking it was supposed to be an all over face primer instead of a highlighter. I know you can use it for both but I would much rather purchase a powder highlighter instead of this cream-like one.

Would I repurchase?

Honestly, I can't seeing as Sephora does not carry this product anymore!


Till next time!

Review: Laura Mercier Foundation Primer

Hi everyone, first review!

I decided to do my first review on a primer I have been using this year. I didn't have any daylight in order to do my lip reviews so that will have to wait till later on this week.

















Sephora says:

"A lightweight, water-based gel foundation prep for dehydrated and/or aging skin. Foundation Primer - Hydrating protects and moisturizes the skin so your makeup goes on even and smooth. This hydrating, nourishing formula works with all skin types."

What I love about it:

*It does a great job at keeping my foundation and powders in place for the whole day!
*In the summer, it's a great alternative to silicone primers which tend to break people out.
*It's moisturizing!
*I love the packaging.

What I don't like too much about it:

*Lately, in the winter, it's actually been drying my face out which is really strange considering it moisturized my skin in the summer. Shouldn't it be the other way around?
*It's a bit difficult to blend liquid foundations onto my skin. I have tried several liquid foundations with this primer to see if it's just the brand of foundation but it's unfortunately not.
*Pricey but most good foundation primers are x.x


Overall, I give this product a:

4/5


Would I repurchase?

For my summertime foundation, yes definitely! However, in the winter, I'm going to stick with my silicone primers.

See you soon~!
