I spend way too much money at Ulta. Today, I bought a ton of stuff, so I decided to split everything up and do things by category.
I had heard so much about the Becca Backlight Priming Filter. I was skeptical at first that it wouldn't do anything under my Kat Von D foundation which is a super full coverage. I was blown away. The Becca Primer actually worked really well. It is infused with luminescent pearls, which create a really nice radiant glow. I did think it made me look a little shiny later on in the day, so I don't know how this will work for those of you with oily skin. I have dry skin, so for me this product will be used frequently.
I also got Too Faced Hangover Primer. I have had this product in the past but when I moved, it got lost somewhere in the shuffle. In all honesty, I like to use it before bed right after I have taken my makeup off. As a primer, I am not totally in love with it, but it does a good job of moisturizing. It is really lightweight, smells nice and does not irritate my sensitive skin.
The Urban Decay B6 Prep Spray is a really nice prep spray if I just want to prep my skin quickly before I put my foundation on. I think it helps to make my makeup last longer, and it also seems to hydrate my dry skin really well. I have also used it during the day just to freshen my face up and it seems to work well for that as well.
The Benefit Porefessional has long been a favorite of mine. It is smooth, has no scent, and actually hides my pores. My makeup seems to go on smoother when I use it, my skin looks better and I all around love it. I have a regular sized one, but this jumbo was a really good deal so I had to get it. This primer is perfect for any skin type, and is oil free.
Overall, my favorite of these primers are the ones from Benefit and Becca, but I like them all.
