Urban Decay Primer Potion Vs. E.L.F. Eyelid Primer

I have been using the Urban Decay Primer Potion eyeshadow base for sometime now, but am now running low and was looking to purchase a new primer. I went to Target and saw the E.L.F. eyeshadow primer and decided to give it a try (it was only $1 so if it didn't work it wouldn't hurt too much).

The UD Primer Potion is a great primer,but I was looking for something that worked just as good, but that costs less without compromising its quality.

One obvious difference between the two is that UDPP is thicker than the ELF primer. However, once they are applied, you can't tell the difference between the two.

I took a very pigmented eyeshadow and applied the shadow over both primers. As you can see, the left-hand swatch is using UDPP,  no primer was used on the middle swatch and on the right-hand swatch I used the ELF primer.

Honestly, I see no difference between both primers. Both did a great job at making the eyeshadow color pop.
If you want to save some money, get the ELF primer. If you want to splurge, then get yourself the UD primer potion. The choice is yours since they both work just as well.

The UDPP cost me $18, if I'm not mistaken. The packaging has changed and now the amount of product is 0.37 oz instead of the 0.34 oz that was in the old packaging. The ELF primer cost $1.

Kiss Everlasting French Nail kit

I have been M.I.A. (missing in action), but I am back and looking forward to a great new year! Hope everyone had a great holiday season.


I recently made a trip to Walgreens and noticed that many of their beauty products are on sale. One of the items I picked up was a Kiss Everlasting French nail kit with burgundy color tips. I bought the kit on sale, but the regular price of $6 isn't so bad. So I bought one to try it out. 


These kits have come a long way! First off, the glue included in this kit has a pink tone to it so that once the press on nail has been applied it gives it a more natural pink tone like the color of your natural nail bed. 

They were relatively easy to put on. The only thing that I recommend is of course to first try the nails on to see which nails are going to go where. I have small nails so I had to use the same size nail on my middle and ring fingers so I ran out of nails. Also, the glue dries really quickly so be careful when applying. From my experience, once the glue dries and you have to for whatever reason remove the nail, the glue gets crusty and doesn't look good when reapplied.


Other than that, I highly recommend this nail kit. It looks just as professional as professionally done nails and I am not exaggerating at all. I actually went out and bought a second kit.
