Primed to Perfection

I'm just saying sometimes you just can't take these Product and Place public reviews to seriously ! If you read the press on Hourglass Mineral Primer you wouldn't go a hundred feet from Sephora . Well im here to tell you whomever developed this deserves a Nobel Prize. If your interested at keeping shine at bay this year, get this product as soon as you can. It has spf ,its totally oil free and it does everything its press says it will. You can get it at Amazon , it goes to other beauty sites, but you can still buy with one click, and you know how much i love the one -click. The wonderful thing about buying it at Amazon is i was able to score a smaller size at less than 20.00. Ok when i said it was fabulous , i didn't say it was cheap ! This little bottle of wonder is in the range of a moderate pair of shoes, but it will keep shine at bay ! The reviews for this product and its sister foundation all rake them over the coals for the pumps, and believe me when you pay 60.00 for a treatment product,you expect the damn pump to work , I get that , but we also need to get a little more inventive and try unscrewing the caps !. This revision for PUMP defects is apparently what is keeping the foundation out of stock at all Sephora's , however i was able to go in and see the colors, and get a sample. Its as good or possibly better than the veil cause its all rolled into one . The funny thing is that from reading the reviews you would think once the pump had problems the bottle would have to be ditched , it was just the silliest thing when the saleswoman just uncapped the bottle ! In my research for tinted SPF 's and mattifier foundations with SPF, Hourglass is coming in first . I did also sample the very highly touted Tarte Amazon clay foundation but im sorry there are no names of the colors on the bottles. I frankly think that's insane , you have to try and select the correct package from the way the foundation looks in the display bottle thru a blank leaf shape. I did like it but i can't recommend it because that is just plain stupid ! What else have i bought ? Well Peter Thomas Roth makeupless 30 SPF ( honestly i think this brand is really for men, i don't know why i get that feeling i just do !) This Spf has color, but almost like " here guys, you'll look better" but we won't say " makeup" . Could just be me ...whatever . NYX stay Matte but not Flat powder foundation , always a huge favorite brand for me. Last weekend in Palm Desert found an Ulta that had the complete line, it was frankly better than Coachella ! I was just looking at my makeup drawer thinking I have to to much makeup and then like my mentor Rev Run says I changed my thinking ..... I don't have to much makeup , I just need a bigger drawer ! Spring is here and Summer is around the corner, so run out and get some new SPF and show the world you can be protected and FABULOUS !!!!!!
