I love that stay matte powder from Rimmel. It works so nicely with the foundation.

You got some great stuff! Let me know what you think of the NYC shadows and the Loreal primer. I didn't know that Loreal made a primer!

What tool/brush/sponge do you use to apply it?

I also went to Walgreens and got an Essie top coat, no chip, loreal bb cream, rimmel foundation and revlon eye primer/brightener. I actually went in looking for the revlon bb cream I thought you ladies had recommended but couldn't find any and tried to look it up from my phone app but was way to much to look through.

So is that the bb cream you ladies were raving about? Can't wait to try the rimmel, tried it on my hand and I'm very impressed!!

A really odd one. It's a short flat head Kabuki. It's the best brush I have for buffing in powder. Maybe not the best for this. Haha

It looks like this one.

And just an FYI, I have three chips after my Essie no chip top coat but must say I wasn't being very careful with my nails so there's that.

That Rimmel foundation and powder is the best!

Dawgs,

I did a bit more research online after I didn't hear any suggestions about a drug store primer here. This de-crease kept popping up, but there's also an ELF version that goes for about a dollar. Mine was $10, with $3 CVS extra care bucks back. Reviews say it might be best for light to medium skin tones, as it's not translucent, like the pricier brands.

I used it with my cheap NYC shadows last night, and it worked well.

I tried the L'Oreal Magic Lumi Concealer.

It's not as heavy as Maybelline Magic Eraser or Amazing Concealer, but the texture and end result are impressive. Maybe not for full on circles from insomnia, but with a BB cream it's a nice fit.

Hopped on the Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush bandwagon. OMG- a HG product for me. I got Dollface and love the color as it settles on my skin. Good stuff. I did a Sephora Exclusive with bronzer. So worth it.

Also loving Goldwell Flat Marvel with AG Big Wig for sleek but full hair.

I can vouch for the ELF eye shadow primer. I just bought a second one today from Target as I was running low on the first one. It holds up really well and can't beat the $1 price tag!

Good to know!
