Eyeshadow Primers

While talking with a friend, I found out that a MAC employee recommended painterly paint pot as a primer.  My friend also mentioned that she has oily lids and the MAC employee recommended a paint pot?  Well, I learned the hard way a long time ago that it DOES NOT work as an eye primer if you have oily lids.  That's pretty sad when an employee can't recommend the right product for the brand they work for.

Overall, I must say I like the NARS smudge proof eye primer the best!  It is pricey at $24, but it works!  I have extremely oily skin and it makes it sooooo difficult to have my makeup stay without any sort of primer. I have tested Urban Decay primer potion, TooFaced shadow insurance, MAC prep + prime eyeshadow primer, and the generic eye and lip primer from Beauty from The Earth.

I think I need to film a demo video comparing all the different eye primers listed above (it's on the to do list now).  It took me a long time to actually find one that I loved.  I honestly don't wear makeup too often, so I don't mind paying a premium for a product that will work on my oily skin/lids. 

What's your favorite eye primer?  Is there one you recommend that I don't already own and will it work for oily skin?

Happy New Year!

Hi there,

I hope everyone had a wonderful New Years.  I never really go out for NYE (I'm quite the old lady...LOL) but I got to spend it with the BF so I was happy.  I had the pleasure of cleaning up this week since I'm on vacation and found something packed away in a random closet!

Can you believe this?????  There are items in this stash that I needed for my kit and have already purchased (grr...).  I may keep some of the items since a few are limited editions.  But guess what?  I think I will hold giveaways or contests.  I have a bunch of new stuff that I have been meaning to get rid of.  So my blonde moment will pay off for some lucky subscribers.  I will post a YT video soon about this.

I just ordered a cam so I can start posting more videos (and in better quality).  I think I got the lighting perfect in my restroom which I am happy about.  Good lighting makes such a difference.  I am having a hard time with Windows Movie Maker crashing on my all the time (very frustrating).  Can anyone suggest something I could use to edit my YT videos?  Any help would be great  =)

Thanks for reading & look out for giveaways/contests!
