Benefit Stay Flawless 15-Hour Primer.

Benefit Cosmetics just added a new member to the Flawless family of products, and it is different. It's a primer. Now, a makeup primer is not different. Makeup primer is an essential product for long-lasting makeup. This primer is different because it comes in stick form. Can you believe it? Say hello to Stay Flawless 15-Hour Primer.

This is the first primer that I have ever used in a stick form and I sort of cringed when I first saw it. I have a love hate relationship with makeup sticks. They are either really good or really bad. I quickly learned that this one is really good.

Stay Flawless 15-Hour Primer glides over skin with ease. I simply glide it over my cheeks forehead and chin, then blend away with my fingertips. There is at least a minute or two of play time, meaning blending is really easy. It feels moisturizizing, but also has a matte feeling to it, if that makes any sense. It slightly blurs imperfections as well.

After a few minutes of wearing, I knew it was good. It is like one of those primer and perfectors in one and whether I used it with a CC Cream or foundation, both looked better than without it. At the end of the day, makeup looked great, even around my nose where I sometimes notice it fading.

The stick is good sized and I am sure I could get 5 - 6 months of use out of this, if not more. A little really goes a long way.

Benefit Stay Flawless 15-Hour Primer is available at Benefit counters, Sephora and benefitcosmetics.com now. It retails for $32.00

The response to the US launch of the RiRi Hearts MAC Summer collection was incredible. I heard from so many who tried to get into the MAC website and order for hours. You are a patient bunch! Congratulations to those of you who got to order what you wanted.

I received all of the products in the RiRi Hearts MAC Summer collection yesterday and just have to show them off.

We all want to look our best and get our golden glow on for summer. There are two types of products you need to get your golden glow going: bronzer and self-tanner. This perfect little set from Tarte will have you thankful for this golden opportunity.

This set contains travel friendly sizes of Tarte's Amazonian Clay Mineral Bronzer in Park Ave Princess (one of my long-time bronzer favorites) and Brazilliance™ Skin Rejuvenating Maracuja Self Tanner.

For a bronze that lasts even while in the pool, Amazonian Clay Mineral Bronzer in Park Ave Princess glides on and leaves a very natural look to the skin. The mineral powder bronzer helps to improve skin as it is worn too. Who doesn't want that extra benefit?

The Maracuja Self Tanner contains Vitamin C and essential fatty acids to not only give your face a beautiful, natural self-tan, it helps skin stay drenched in moisture. It is one of the best smelling self-tanners I've tried, and the tinted gel glides on with ease. Plus, I only have to re-apply twice a week to keep my golden glow going.

Not only does this set contain everything you need to get your golden glow for summer, it carries a price tag that cannot be beat. That's right, this set, exclusive to Sephora, is just $10.00. Yes! Just $10.00. Pick up the Golden Opportunity Deluxe Collection from Sephora now.
