Review of the Mary Kay eye primer.. Better than Urban Decay?

Hi everyone, I recently became a Mary Kay consultant. Why? Because I loved the skincare line. It has done wonders for my skin. I use the miracle set, and it has made my skin smoother and much softer. I have used any drug store line from Neutrogena to Olay to even organic products. For the last 10 years I have been trying to find a great skincare line (since I was 14) and the Mark Kay line has pulled me right in. But anyways today is about the eye primer.

Now for the last two years I have been using Urban Decay Primer Potion. Don't get me wrong, it's an amazing product, but since I started to sell Mary Kay, I decided to give this a try. WOW, I am in love.


That's the tube and what it looks like under the cap.
The primer is white in color. I did put a little too much here but just to show what it looks like.
When rubbed in, it is invisible.

 With primer is on the bottom part of my hand, and without is on top. I used the SAME amount of eyeshadow for sides. Though without the primer I did press a bit harder to try to get it to show up a bit better. As you can tell it smooths and evens out more with the primer.


With primer is on the right, while without primer is on the left.

What primer does is it makes your makeup last longer, and of course helps use less makeup. I feel with the UD it did a good job, but toward the end of the day it would come off quicker than the Mary Kay. If I were to work out and sweat, I noticed the makeup did come off with the Urban Decay, but lasted longer with the Mary Kay.

For me, I am sold on the Mary Kay. It's also cheaper!!

If you are interested in trying this product, you can search my website at www.marykay.com/sturcotte.

The primer retails for $12.00 without tax or shipping.

Julep Nellie. August It Girl

    I have a new color I just received last week. It's called Nellie by Julep. I received a box from them every month with new colors. The one thing I love the most about Julep is the fact I KNOW what's coming in the box, and I can choose to change if I don't like it. I have never had a problem with anything from Julep before. If you would like to try it here is my link here. I am usually a Bombshell, but this month I picked It Girl.


   Julep describes this color as a "Pink fuschia crème" and I believe they are spot on! This applied wonderfully. This is two coats worth and it covered amazing.

   One thing I love to do to my photos is to leave the flaws in them. Weird, I know. I do this because lately I have been seeing a TON of manicures being taken right off the internet, with the watermark of the owner being deleted, and claiming as someone else's. Mainly the photos I seen the manicures look flawless. I try not to clean up too perfectly so I can leave those flaws, and I can definitely know if a picture is mine. PLEASE do not steal pictures and claim as your own! Not only is it not right, it's definitely an embarrassment when people get caught and it's actually not theirs when they say it is.

Avon Sequined Turquoise

I have some blue today to show. It's been a while so I am rusty a bit on my photos. I need to reword on them to get back to where I was before.

I am showing today an Avon color called Sequined Turquoise. I believe I got this around the holidays about a year or two ago. It's so beautiful in person, but I do wish I did three coats. I see some bald spots that annoy me even more now that I see in the pictures.



This is a definitely must see color in the sunlight :)
