Review - Two Faced Shadow Insurance




Official Description - Your full coverage insurance policy against all fading, creasing and smudging. Our skin-soothing formula evens out skin tone and smoothes fine lines to create a perfect canvas for shadows. Color is intensified and locked down until you take it off.
I have been using Urban Decays Primer Potion for many years now. I love it so much. I was always interested in giving Two Faced Shadow Insurance a try. I have seen so many youtubers use it and read a lot of positive reviews. When I heard that Ulta was having a sale on it for half off for their 21 Days of Beauty promotion I thought that was a perfect opportunity to give it a try.

I had never used the squeeze tube kind of primer and was used to applying it on with an applicator. It was actually a lot better applying it with my fingers because I got an even application on my lids. I then applied my eyeshadow and liquid eyeliner. I had a full day of work and towards the end of my shift I went to the bathroom to do a check for any crease lines. My eyeshadow still looked fresh and vibrant!

At first I was a bit torn on which eyeshadow primer would become my "go to primer" but in the end I have decided that although Two Faced Shadow Insurance worked lovely for me I will stick with Urban Decay's Primer Potion. What are some of your favorite eyeshadow primers?

Faces of The Day - NYE and Totally 80's look



Hey loves! It's a new year! I love the holidays but I am kind of happy that they are over. All of the over eating was really starting to take a toll! We are looking for a new place. I am beyond excited! Zoe is becoming more adventurous so we need more space.

Here are some looks that I did for a New Years Eve and a Totally 80's Themed birthday party that I went to awhile ago. You are probably wondering why I don't have any full face shots. First, I searched and could not find a decent one for both of the looks. Secondly, the main reason why I probably could not find a decent shot was because I am feeling really sad about my weight. I was eating right and going to the gym about 5 times a week. When the holidays starting coming around and the longer hours at work I just fell off track. I think I lost track on how many times my new years resolution was to lose weight. I am determined to do this. No diets or magical diet pills. It needs to be a lifestyle change. I need to become a better role model for Zoe.

Ok enough with all of the sad stuff. Time to move forward! Here are the looks!
