I'm going to have to try this fab primer you speak of! And the toner trick also!
Love the pics, you so pretty! :) :)
With their primer potion..LOVE!!! I also 2nd the lash blast. By far the BEST.
I gotta get the Alice in Wonderland kit. I have the smaller book of shadows but I want the big kit =)
Tasha- The urban decay eyeshadow primer and the Hourglass face primer are both amazing! Let me know what you think if you try them. The Hourglas I would ask Sephora for a sample of it and use it for a week before you buy...it's pricey. The eyeshadow...BUY. It works on everyone! and it's like $17.
Grateful bride- Amen Amen on being able to pluck away hair! YES...The pink and Greean!! I have that in my mix too!! lol.
unpredictablebride- ooohh!! So fun to have a daughter I bet! But probably expensive too! :) Awesome that she already has a passion!! BTW: The Alice Wonderland Kit is sold out everywhere here :( It has pretty colors!
