Product Review: Revlon PhotoReady Eye Primer

We all know how important it is to prime our eyes to achieve the best colour pay-off from our eyeshadow.  Personally, my favorite primer is Urban Decay Primer Potion (UDPP), but on a recent trip to Walgreen's, I noticed that they were selling a new Revlon primer. So, on a whim I purchased the primer for just under ten bucks.  I liked the packaging for this primer, I thought it was sleek, and it even has a little brush to make application easier. The primer does the job, and definitely brightens the eyeshadow and prevents it from creasing. I was surprised to see that you only get a measly .08 ounces of product. For me, I expect this primer will last maybe a month, MAYBE--and that is under the best of circumstances. You can get over FOUR times as much UDPP for about twenty bucks. Urban Decay is for sure a better product, and is even LESS expensive. Also, I noticed that it takes LESS UDPP to get the job done. I will be sticking with my Urban Decay from now on, but this DOES NOT mean that you shouldn't try the Revlon Eye Primer-- especially if you have never used primer before, and live in a city where UDPP is not readily available.

Hey my little makeup minions,
So, this is my first attempt at blogging. Hopefully this will be a successful endevour! The purpose of this blog is to review a variety of cosmetics so you can make an informed decision when shopping for make up. How many times have you purchased an eyeshadow, mascara, or blush that you absolutely hated? If you're anything like me, the answer is WAY TOO DAMN MANY.  I will be reviewing a variety of bands. I plan to review drug store and department store cosmetics. I am very aware that in this shitty economy, most people don't want to spend fourty bucks on one tube of mascara, so I will be reviewing products for many budgets. Tomorrow I will be posting my first of many reviews.
