I wanted to test out the Becca mattifying primer because I kept hearing great things about it. My skin is combination/oily and it gets especially oily in the summer. I've tried several options and nothing really works as well as I would like so I decided to plop down the money and try this. I've heard it's tricky to work with, you have to pat it into the skin vs. rubbing it in or it tends to pill. Despite its uncooperative application possibilities, I'm excited to try it.
I've also been on the lookout for a new moisturizer to help keep my oil and shine at bay. I pretty much just grabbed this Clinique Dramatically Different moisturizing gel while I was waiting to check out. I see it mentioned a lot on different blogs and forums so I'll have to see if it works for me.
The biggest purchase was the Bare Minerals Get Started Complexion Kit. It includes 2 of their foundations - one regular, one matte, a prime time primer, a blush/bronzer, mineral veil, a brush, and a bag to hold everything. I've never tried anything from Bare Minerals before so I'm looking forward to testing everything out. I'll be doing a full review on this kit sometime in the future. Stay posted!
And last but not least, a mini Tarte Flushed cheek stain that I got as a 100 point perk. I don't have a ton of experience with Tarte. I received a large set of their Lip Surgence lip crayons from my sister Jessica and a kit that had a blush, mini Maracuja oil, and a mini Lights, Camera, Lashes from my coworker Anna for Christmas this past year. But that's really it. Typically cream-like blushes don't work well with my oily skin but I still want to give this one a try.
So that's it. Like I said, I will be doing a full review on the Bare Minerals kit in the future but if there's anything else you'd like a review on, please let me know!
