How Have I Lived without Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion?

A few weeks back I mentioned how the award winning Urban Decay Primer Potion had a little overhaul and included a new, better wand. At that time, I also mentioned that I have never used UDPP. Silly me and HELLO - where have I been? Better yet, how have I lived without this product in my life this long?

Urban Decay Primer Potion is the must have eye shadow primer. It applies on the eyelid as a super soft and light liquid that dries almost instantly. Initially, it makes eyelids look better with a more even color with just a hint of pearl to it, almost looking instatnly more more alive. Next, it makes powder shadows adhere where you want them to, making the shadows feel super soft while overall being easier to apply. Lastly, it helps shadows look fresh with that just applied look, ALL DAY long -no creasing or smudging with no movement of eyeshadow or eyeliner at all.

If you have not tried this genie in a bottle yet, you need to. I have been using the Nude Eye Base, but it is also available in a newer Champagne shade, which I will be picking up as well. The potion is $17 for regular size or $22 for the XL version. Pick it up online at UrbanDecay, Sephora.com or Sephora stores.

The Latest from La Mer: The Treatment Powder Foundation.

I used to love powder foundations, which some considered odd given the fact that I have very dry skin. For some reason, the finish was always pretty much flawless on me. As I get older, I am finding fewer powder foundations that look even somewhat decent on my skin. When I heard that La Mer was introducing a Powder Foundation to their skincolor line up, my ears perked up. The Treatment Powder Foundation has been just what I have been searching for.

Gemstones capture light energy to create a translucent color palette, optically erasing imperfections to reveal a naturally flawless complexion.  An exclusive Radiant Ferment works continuously to add visible clarity and brightness, revealing a more luminous appearance.

For a sheer, everyday makeup look, I have been applying the powder with the velvety sponge that came with the compact. When opting for more coverage and a full-on glam look, I have been applying the powder over my La Mer Fluid Foundation. The result is flawless.

The Treatment Powder Foundation also has a naturally built in SPF of 15, which is essential, and is yet another reason to not balk at the price tag of $95. It s La Mer, after all.

There is a pretty nice range of shades, 8 to be specific, to select from as well. I have been using Ivory, and will probably move up to the Creme shade during the summer to use over my self-tanner.
