Product Review: Too Faced Products & Urban Decay's Eyeshadow Primer Potion

:( Oh...Em....Gee..... lol So I'm so sad to say that this review is not about cheap/low priced products. Sad because I'd rather not pay the amount of $ they cost and, some were a waste; but, happy because others are really good, incomparable products that are worth the $ :/. So we've got an on the fence situation here.




Forgive the unfocused pictures but, I got this lil thing of goodies from Sephora for $19. It has 5 beauty editor faves of Too Faced products.The first one is Too Face's Lashgasm Mascara. I absolutely love this mascara. It is the blackest of blacks, and makes my natural lashes look like falsies. Also, the brush is thin and flexible, which helps to coat the entire lash. Here's the kicker, it retails at $28 :/. Nevertheless, if you grab the kit for under $20 you can try the other 4 products as well, right? Whomp Whomp lol. Which leads me to the next, Too Face's Lip Insurance Lip Primer. It retails at $27 and is a complete waste of money and time! It made my matte lipstick satiny and my lips still feathered/smeared after while. The third, is Too Faced's Glamour Gloss Volumizing Lip Gloss in Sex Pot. Retailing at $19, it does slightly plump the lip and gives a pretty pout. However, not $19 worth in my opinion lol. The fourth is Too Faced's Shadow Insurance Eyeshadow primer. Now I'm not sure how well this stands alone, because I've been using it in combination with another primer we'll discuss in a min. Shadow insurance retails at $24. The final Too Faced product is the popular Primed and Poreless Skin Smoothing Face Primer. Retailing at $38, it was just ok, slightly masked the appearance of my pores but, not enough to pay nearly $40 for. :/

*Sigh* This here is Urban Decay's Eyeshadow Primer Potion in the shade Eden. It retails at $24 on Sephora.com but, cost $20 in store. Either way, its too pricey for my liking. However, after getting a sample, I've determined that this is a must have. This baby will make any eyeshadow color standout, prevents creasing and prolongs wear. The upside to the price is that it will last a long time when used correctly. You only need less than a dab to cover the eye. Literally, a dab of this stuff would be too much! lol I only got a sample of Eden, which is a matte tan. However, when my pockets permit, I'm going to invest in all four of these potions!
