STOP RIGHT THERE, it's the primer police

As you may or may not know a good eye primer is one of my many makeup obsessions. So I have a nice little collection of different eye primers, or things that I have used as eye primers that I have tried and either loved or hated. So in these Primer Police posts (say that 3 times fast) I will give my opinions on a primer of my choice.

The first primer I have chosen to review is bareMinerals' Prime Time eyelid primer. This was one of the first primers that I purchased when the primer bug first bit me. Like most primers, bareMinerals advises that you user theirs with their eye shadows. But what fun is having make up if you don't mix it together to create your own look? I'm not very fond of this product because I have very oily eyelids and it is an oil based primer, which makes sense because bM are loose powders and what better for them to stick to than oil (or bees wax which is what is in the product). I usually use some sort of color crayon as a base for my shadows to stick to, so the bM primer combined with the color crayons were defiantly too much oil for my eyelids and my shadows crease very quickly. But all is not lost, I have found a spot for bM Prime Time! I use it on my bottom lash line when I want to add color and have it stick. So unfortunately the search continues for the perfect primer....

(I just realized how annoying the word primer is. Ughh.)

Whooooooooo!

Dorothy is back! And now I will take this long weekend to write lots of new blog posts. :)

Thoughts and things of that nature.......

Since Dorothy is making such a speedy recovery I'm starting to think more about upcoming posts. I've got a few ideas which I will share now.

The infamous MAC. This post will be mostly about MAC heads and my opinion on them. And I feel like I'm giving up too much about it already.

Reviews. And let me go ahead and get this out of the way. I'm not one of those people that reviews everything my readers ask me to. It's not like I have a lot of readers YET, but doing a lot of reviews is just not practical for me yet.

Professional train case. Which is something I'm currently working on. So I would certainly love for you all to go on this journey with me.

Back to the intended purpose of this blog SKIN CARE!

I have something newish that I'm doing to my eyebrows. Guess I'll share that too. Because I am obsessed with eyebrows.

If you have any suggestions for things you would like me to blog about shoot me an email at sheblushlust@gmail.com or just leave a comment below. :)
