Fantastic!! Lorac Special Effects Mascara
I love, love, love this mascara and primer been using it for about a 3 months now and ready to purchase my next one. I purchased it in a set that was well worth it, every product has been a pleasant surprise. I love that it's a 2 in 1 packaging, I love the mascara wands, they really combs through every lash. The primer goes on really smooth no thickness in the formula and really conditions my lashes, no flake no clump and when followed with the mascara it's just heaven for me. I really only need curl and a bit of volume to my lashes but this combo gives me just enough length, great definition and volume, and really makes my eyes look open and bright. I also find the my lashes have more shine and very healthy, they are very defined which is key for me. Last all day. I totally recommend this mascara/primer, I like it better than my Dior primer, great product.
It's just a skin refresher
Some people can't rave enough about Fix + I personally don't see all the hoopla it's a face refresher, same as many other companies have not saying it's not good just saying. You can use any face mist and get the same results. Mufe has one, cinema secrets, josie maran, urban decay, and motives to name a few. It's not a setting spray btw that is totally different. I will say I did like the Limited Edition Fix + Lavender not to be confused with the Rose one, but I think that was more about the scent.
Great Purchase!!
I purchased this brush for $1.50 when E.L.F had 50%, it's worth it and then some. I love it so much I purchased a full set of the studio line which came with this brush in it as well, so now I have 2. I use it for powder, foundation, cream blush and more. It's amazing and leaves me with a flawless look everytime. I recommend it, especially for the price, even at $3 it's an awesome brush.
Not all it's hyped up to be
I was able to buy mine 2 for $5 at my local Ulta, I was excited because of all the hype about this product, while I have dry lips and tend to bite them I thought this would be my new bff..... umm not the case at all. While it does smell great I don't feel it really does much for my lips and it doesn't last long at all, I feel like I'm re-applying it all day which brings me to the packaging which is cute but lets face it not very on the go friendly so I def won't be purchasing again :(
I got this primer in a set I received for xmas last year. I love this stuff. I have oily crease not lid but crease, totally annoying and with this primer my shadow stood all day and didn't smudge at all. No creasing and the colors totally popped. I recommend this to anyone but especially if you have oily lids, it's amazing. The packaging is great, since it's a squeeze tube you can keep your product sanitary and not worry about bacteria and also you don't waste product. I believe it's $20 which is comparable to other eye primers. You can get it at Ulta or Sephora.
