Welcome to 12 Days of Favorites! Day 1: Primer

0 Comments
Hello, my loves!
Long time, no talk. It's been a hot second since I've dabbled in the blogging world. I've been focusing mainly on Instagram lately. It's just been one of those phases I guess. But I've found a renewed desire to blog!
To reintroduce myself, I've been working on 12 Days of Favorites (or #12daysoffavorites if you're on the gram)! I decided to end the year with a bang and post my favorite beauty products for the year from now through Christmas Eve!
Without further ado, day 1 of 12 days of favorites!
PRIMER!
For me, a perfectly primed base is a must to get the best makeup application I can. I have oily acne prone skin, so if I didn't prime, my skin would be horrific by the end of the day.
The primer that I've reached for the most over the past year has definitely been the Becca Firstlight Priming Filter you can get this at Ulta or Sephora. I love this because it gives me a glow but it's not too much for my oily skin. I do prefer this over the Backlight Priming Filter. I can't put my finger on exactly why, but it's just better. Maybe it's because purple is my favorite color. It also smells like lemon pez so... ya know... bonus. This is pretty much my standard go to that I would grab in the morning before work. It's just a good solid primer.
Over the summer I was browsing through Ulta and was intrigued by the Stila One Step Correct primer. You can get it here and here. This was something that was on my Sephora loves list for a while but I never got around to purchasing it. I love this because if my skin is slightly red or irritated it will help cancel that out prior to applying any of my other complexion products. It's not a mattifying primer, but I wouldn't say it's a hydrating primer either. It works really well for my oily skin (are you seeing a pattern here.... I apologize to my dry skin ladies out there... if you're super dry I'm not sure if this would be hydrating enough for you, but I see this working for dry to normal skin).
The most recent addition to my primer collection was the Revlon Photoready Pore Reducing Primer. You can get this anywhere Revlon is sold. I purchased my at Ulta, but it is available in most drugstores. I LOVE this stuff! I've tried so many pore filling/smoothing primers in my time and nothing has worked as well as this! I apply this to my nose and just between my eyebrows and let me tell you, my skin looks F.L.A.W.L.E.S.S.
I have quite a few primers in my collection but these three are definitely the ones that I've been gravitating towards the most. What are your favorite primers? Let me know; I love trying new products!
See you tomorrow! Can you guess what Day 2 is.......
