My favourite primers cheap to expensive


Hello lovelies sorry about the lack of blogs lately ive been very busy with work and some issues but i shall be getting on top of things and back to posting every day to every other! 

So to get back on track thought id show you my favourite primers which go from cheap to expensive! 

To start with are my cheap drug store primers.....  which are by the brand MUA (makeup academy)  starting with the first one in my picture is my eyeshadow primer this is a great base for eyeshadows or even a base to cover the redness on the eyelids. I dont wear alot of eyeshadow but on a night out i use this with my eyeshadow and it will stay creaseless for ages! Id recommend trying this if you dont like spending to much money. 
For my face primers i have the fixing mist and the matte perfect primer these again are great if you dont want to spend alot of money but get a decent product that works! So after i use the matte perfect primer which is great for a oily skin like mine i apply my foundation and then spritz a little bit of the face mist over my face just to help set everything this helps make my face powder look less cloggy aswell! 

I really like the MUA range as its so affordable and your getting a decent product which is a bonus so id defiantly   recommend trying this range especially as its good for a oily skin type you can get  in your nearest superdrug stores. 

Next is the more exspensive primers which are both good for oily skin types....

Firstly is the prime time oil control primer by bareminerals this is costly but works really well specially with foundation i have a very oily t-zone and this helps to soak up excess oil and leaves a clear weightless feel on the skin to give my foundation a smooth matte finish this is the perfect primer for if you have a oily skin type id defiantly be repurchasing this again. 

Lastly is the pores no more pore refiner by dr brandt this primer is amazing and is one of my top primers even though its pricey its worth every penny. This primer comes out orange but blends in clear leaving the whole face looking shine free  helping to smooth out any scarring you may have so when you apply your foundation your face looks flawless with a airbrushed finish.


If you cant afford spending out on this primer the MUA matte perfect is the best dupe ive come across as you can see on the left is matte perfect and on the right is pores no more very similar in feel and colour and is alot cheaper!

My morning skin care routine...




Hey everyone thought I'd put a second post up as I didn't post yesterday due to being busy very sorry... But anyways this is about my morning skincare routine I shall do a night routine in a separate blog! 

Let's get started so to begin with I shower every morning which every person does! I hope.. 
So while I let my hair air dry for a bit I go into the bathroom and 
proceed with my morning routine for my skin.

My 5 step morning skin routine...

firstly after I do a daily face scrub in the shower  I cleanse my face with my garnier micellar cleansing water I pour a bit onto two cotton pads 
and wipe all over my face throughly making sure there is no dirt left on my skin once I'm satisfied that my skin is squeaky clean I then move onto my second step.


Secondly I do a eye cleanse using my l'oreal eye makeup remover I don't know why I use a eye cleanser as well seeing as my first cleanser removes eye makeup but I like to make sure there's nothing left on my eyelashes so I do exactly the same as my first cleanser and pour a bit 
onto two cotton pads and wipe over my eyelashes.


Thirdly I apply my garnier moisture match mattifying fresh face cream all over the face in upward strokes. I might add I pick this up the other day as I was looking for a new moisturiser for oily skin and I'm loving it it's a light whipped cream that feels fresh and mattifying on the skin and does absorb my oiliness very well this creams suitable for oily to combo skin and I defiantly recommend it! 


Fourthly I then apply my snake venom eye cream by balance active formula under my eyes to help make them look less puffy in the morning and of course to stop those wrinkles appearing I gently tap this on starting from the inner to 
the outer corner.

And lastly once I've done everything I then apply my bareminerals prime time oil control primer all over my face to create a smooth oil free base for my makeup to sit on especially foundation.
