Prime that pretty puppy!

Well, since I am on a "fix my face" regiment, I wanted to pass on to you the importance of wearing primer under your makeup!!!  Think of it this way....you have the best room in your home, the room that everyone see's whenever they come to visit, the one you want to make look exquisite but you notice the paint is looking like it needs a little VaVaVOOOM!  You decide a fresh coat of paint would do the trick, but seems that there are a lot of little cracks, bumps and a lot unevenness on the walls surface........WHAT DO YA DO???  You go to your nearest paint supplier and purchase a great PRIMER!!  One that will fill in those cracks, crevices and bumps on the wall, one that, when you put that perfect shade of paint over it, it goes on like melted butta baby!!  Sooooo, what should be ANY different about your beautiful face?????  I will not put my foundation on without my primer, I currently use *Smashbox* "Photo Finish" Correcting Primer in ADJUST!

ADJUST is the green toned primer and aids in the reduction of redness.
BLEND is the apricot toned primer and it aids in evening out skin tone and counteracting discoloration and dark spots.
BALANCE is the lavender toned primer and aids in brightening dull or sallow skin.

The average price for the above primers is running about $32.00 - $38.00 and I find mine at *Ulta*...did I mention I adore Ulta?!!
There of course are cheaper products on the market, I looked at the reviews for:
"Cover Girls Simply Ageless Serum Primer" which runs an average of $13.00 and they were not the best, only 40% of the users would purchase this product again.
L'Oreal makes "Studio Secrets Professional Color Correcting Primer" and this one faired quite well with an average cost of $12.00.  You can find BOTH of these products at Ulta as well!!!

So humour me on the "Fix My Face" mission and "Fix Your Face"!  Us beauties over 40 need to be diligent and use a little extra sompin~sompin to look like we did 15 years ago, of course every smile line and crow's feet we see, only means we have really enjoyed our lives immensely; smiling, laughing, being joyfull......and then there are the big fat lines on our fore heads, the frown lines, which for me spell out only one thing..........                 
M~A~R~R~I~A~G~E

I'm just kidding!!!!  I love ya honey !!  
Here's to almost 20 more!!! 
Can you say.... Botox!
