L'oreal Paris Magic Lumi Light Infusing Primer



Photo Source - Walgreens


I rarely use primer but I read many rave reviews about this primer and I thought I should give it a try. It gave a nice healthy subtle glow and gave my face a smoother texture because of the light refracting particles or Byron according to the labels/ads.  My makeup did last a bit longer but it didn’t give the same drastic results from the ads in their magazines.  Although, most of the marketing ads for cosmetics should be taken with a grain of salt, since it is very hard to duplicate the same results. While I did like the soft glow, it didn’t notice that much of an improvement in my skin [although, other people noticed it]. I would probably save it for special occasions and/or when I wear the “natural makeup” look.

LaRocca 24k C-Gold Reparative Primer


This primer is, literally in fact, liquid gold for my face. I love how smooth and soft my face feels after applying this primer. This non greasy primer goes on smoothly like butter and was instantly absorbed into the skin. The LaRocca Skincare 24-K C-Gold Reparative Primer is made with 24K colloidal gold, Vitamin C and provides SPF protection.  The lightweight gel smooths, brightens, firms and reduces the damage occuring when sun worshipping. I got tons of compliments from friends asking what I was using on my face.  I just laugh and say “liquid gold”. Overall, I am in love with this primer. I would buy enough to coat my entire body in it but sadly with the $90 price tag, it will be a splurge for special occasions only.
