W7 Camera Ready Face Primer

I found this a in my local chemist that now seems to be selling W7. Which is great there is so much I want to try. I saw loads of new things I wanted to try but since this was the only one left of this I grabbed it lol. I didn't want to miss out on it or anything. 

Anyway more about what I thought about it. It looks and feels very like other primers I have bought for a lot more then €5. It has that lovely silky feel that I love about primers. When I put it on to my oily and porey areas it gave it a very smooth silky feel to it. My main areas for this are my nose, chin and cheeks. After about an hour or so make up in these areas usually just slide off. I'm always on the look out for new primers to keep it in place and to help with applying foundation as well as help with the look of my skin too. My make up stayed in place for a good while with this and I even used it knowing I would be going to the gym and still stayed in place. I know going to the gym with make up on is a little crazy but I don't go crazy full make up or anything, usually just a bit of primer mixed with a light foundation to help with my patchy skin. This was another thing I wanted to write about. I mixed it with a little bit of light foundation for days that I don't need a lot of makeup and some primers are crap for this they just don't sit well but this is a great one. 

I have a few more W7 product that I will get around to reviewing soon hopefully. It's a little hard to keep up with a blog when I don't have a laptop anymore 😢.

Almay Smart Shades Perfect and correct Primer Review

Yet another find from Australia. This one I picked up in Gloss for $12.95. 

What it says:

• Instantly smooths and colour corrects skin.
• Lavender to even out and brighten skin tone. Green to reduce redness.
• Lightweight formula can be used alone or underneath foundation.
• Hyper allergenic 
• Dermatologicaly tested
• oil-free

How to use:

Smooth primer onto face using fingertips and blend outwards. Apply before foundation for a perfectly-prepped canvas.

My thoughts:

The lavender and green swirls through the primer looks impressive. But outside of the bottle, not so impressive. It just looks like a mess. Anyway the texture is a little greasy at first but it does go on nicely. It doesn't do much for colour correcting and I didn't notice it making my foundation lasting dramatically longer or anything. Saying that as a prep for the skin before applying foundation it great. My skin feels like I've applied a moisturiser with out the heavy feeling of a moisturiser. At first I kept pressing it to hard and getting loads of product i didn't need or want. When i say a tiny bit is needed I mean a tiny bit is all you need. It spreads so easily across the skin. Overall as a colour correcting primer not so great but as a product to mositerise your skin before applying foundation it works really well. It moisterises the dry skin with out it making the oily areas worse. Not the best primer in the world but not the worst I do still use this regularly and do like it.

Australis Primer Review

I picked this primer up in Priceline while I was in Australia and have been using it alot so thought I would do a little review of it.

What it says:

• Prevents foundation fading
• Smooths and refines skin texture
• Locks in moisture

A specialized foundation primer that fills fine lines, preventing skin from absorbing foundation to extend we arability for longer lasting, flawless finish.

How to use:

Using fingertips, apply a layer of primer. Cover the face concentrating on the eye area and skin zones that are deeply lined or rough in texture. This will provide a smooth base for your foundation. Use primer prior to the application of foundation.

My thoughts:

The texture is different to other primers I have used. It feels more like a moisturiser. it does feel nice to apply and doesn't leave a sticky or thick feeling on the skin. It actually feels like having nothing on the skin which is nice. My skin feels so soft after applying this. I have worn this a lot and it definitely does make my foundation last longer as it says. When I first bought it my make up was almost melting off my face by the end of a hot day. I do suffer from oily and dry sensitive skin and for me this worked well for both. It's a 40ml tube and even after using it this last while it's still pretty full. You really only need a little of this as it spends quite well and leaves my skin soft and foundation goes on very well over this.
