WORTH THE HYPE? BECCA MATTE PRIMER

Hello my beautiful friends. If you say you've never heard of the Becca Ever-Matte Primer, you're lying. It's been talked about and talked about then talked about some more among the beauty community. Everyone says it's the best matte primer ever, it keeps you matte all day and keeps your makeup on. Today I am going to share my thoughts on this primer and whether I think its worth the hype or not. 

The band and cap is supposed to be a metallic sliver but it was too reflective in the photo so I had
cover it. 

I honestly don't think this product is worth all the hype it gets. I didn't notice any difference in my oil control and staying power of my makeup when using this. 

When I first applied it, the primer seemed like it would work amazing because it made my skin matte within the first minute. It felt slightly drying which I was kind of worried it would make my skin flaky but that wasn't even close to the major issue of this product. It made my pores virtually invisible when I first put the primer on, it just overall seemed great!

Then 8 hours passed without me checking my makeup at all and I looked in the mirror. My face was still super oily, my pores were visible and my makeup was still wearing off. It didn't make anything worse than without the primer but it sure didn't make it better. 

I even used it with a matte foundation that I felt needed just a tad extra but my skin still looked the same. I may try this product again and do an update in the new year. It might be one of those products that you change your opinion the second time but for now I wouldn't waste your money on this product. I am so happy I got a sample before buying the full size.

I must say it does feel very light on the skin which is great so you don't feel like your pores are clogged and it drys superfast. I also love it doesn't have a silicone feel, I hate that. But the actually product doesn't work, sadly. I hate really high hopes for this and I was so excited that I might actually find a primer that works but nope. Just try, try again!

Well that's my short little review on the Becca Primer. I hope it helped some of you decide on whether you want this product or not. Even thought this didn't work for me, it might work for you. If you want to form your own opinion just simple ask for a sample, no need to hate. Happy Holidays!

SUNDAY SUM-UP #2

          Hello there my beautiful friends. Only 3 days till Christmas and I am feeling great, are you? Family is starting to come into town and the extensive amounts of Christmas baking are starting. I have been binge watching a ton of Christmas movies and specials while wrapping up all my gifts! Which is why my posting has been very mixed this week. I missed 2 days this week, unacceptable! 

Not only have I missed days because of my constant busyness but I also have slight writers block which makes me not as motivated to really try and get a post up. If anyone has an emergency post ideas post or writers block tips on their blog leave it in the comments and I will check it out. 

With the new year coming in close I have been thinking of some new post ideas for the new year and I want to know your opinion on a blogging new year resolutions post? I think it will help me achieve some goals I have for my blog in 2014. I was also thinking about starting an advice series but I'm not sure of how many questions I'd get. Let me know what you think. 

Along with the new year I will be releasing a new blog design, as you know. I have officially decided January 1 will be the launch. If I'm home I will make it live as soon as 12am hits but if not I plan on the morning time. I'm really excited for you guys to see it and if you've been paying attention to my photos there have been small hints on the design. 

Well that's it for this Sunday Sum-up, I hope you enjoyed learning a little about my past week. I really love writing these posts as it's almost like a weekly journal except not every week, so not really weekly but you get my point right? Merry Christmas my little dolls!

3 days till Christmas Cheer

WINTER STYLE STEAL- VANESSA HUDGENS

Black Leather Panel Legging: 1|2  White Hoodie: 1|2  Black Cardigan: 1|2  Black Leather Jacket: 1|2  Red Leather Purse: 1  Black Boots: 1|2

Hello there everyone. Long time no talk. So sorry I missed the past 2 days of Blogmas but I've just been super busy. Christmas is quickly arriving so I spent all my time buying and wrapping presents then family came into town and I just lost track of time. I may stop blogmas early but I still want to get some posts up before Christmas. Anyway I really wanted to get a post up today so I decided on a Steal Her Style post. This time for Winter as its officially the first day of Winter.

This is a simple outfit based all on layering and leather. Her pants are black leather paneled legging which is so chic. I don't think they're very comfortable for a plane ride but whatever floats your boat! Vanessa has on a white hoodie with adds a pop of brightness to this otherwise dark outfit and over that it looks as though she has a black cardigan on. Perfect for the cold weather but still adorable. Then to top of the top section(see what I did there?) she put on a staple black leather jacket. It adds the extra warmth while still cuter than a giant marshmallow jacket.

The last finishing touches to the look is the bag and the shoes. The giant red leather bag adds a pop of color while still keeping it season appropriate and classy. A giant neon pink bag would look slightly out of place with this outfit :/ The shoes are hard to see but it looks like lace up black booties. I just went for a short combat boot to play it safe. But feel free to go for whatever black short boots suit you best, whether it be dr. martens or slip on black booties.

Thats the end of this Steal Her Style. I fell in love with this comfy, casual, cute outfit so I thought I'd share it with you all. Leave me requests for other celebrities I should do and your request might just show up on your feed! Mwah! Happy HoliKwanzMas! (Holiday/Hanukkah/Kwanza/Christmas)
