Mascara Primer

categories: Makeup

Hey everyone!

Another dupe for ya on this Thursday night – mascara primer. Okay, hear me out, primer is really important. Most girls out there know the difference a primed face makes, so why would lashes be any different?

I LOVE this L’Oreal primer, a steal at $6.79 from Target, which is a near identical dupe of Sephora’s Marc Jacobs mascara primer. Considering there is a $20 difference between the two, I am calling this a mini dupe. I am big into makeup, but I am not so hot on spending a fortune on products that have near identical dupes. When I found this L’Oreal primer a year ago, I was hooked. I use it everyday and I can actually see a difference in the length and thickness of my lashes versus just using mascara alone.

It goes on white (so don’t be alarmed), but it goes on smooth and after a few coats of mascara, blends perfectly in. I use this product every morning and it keeps my lashes looking nice all the way through the day, with no flakage. It really is a miracle product!

AMS Makeup Dupes

categories: Lifestyle

Hey everyone! I am back from a CRAZY work week. But I wanted to kickoff my next post as a follow up to my previous post: a review of a previous dupe.

As I mentioned last week, I am a huge fan of Audrey Madison Stowe (AMS). She has the coolest blog and is the nicest person (she even commented and liked my last post! Fangirling). She is an awesome source for information and style, too, including her recent review of drugstore makeup dupes. I seriously recommend going to her site and reading this post, as she breaks down makeup and skincare products with links to both of the “splurges” and “saves.”

I have actually tried out many of the products she recommended on both sides of the price line and I can attest that she is correct on almost all of her reviews/recommendations, including:

Since I have yet to review makeup on this site, hit the link below and check out her site!
