SmashBox Photofinish Primer vs L'ancome Teint de Idole foundation

    

      Cheers to the freaking weekend, lets drink to that, yeahhhhhhhhhhh yeahhhhhhhhhhh. I have no complaints here. Photofinish started strong  and lasted well throughout the day. I did get a light sheen in the afternoon, but it wasn't anything significant. I blotted my face using a coffee filter (I always wanted to try that), it worked well no different to tissue but okay. The application was smooth and the finish was very natural looking and even. 

There were no morning pics today --------> I forgot

Evening pics

After a hard weeks work, this 9-5 thing aint easy

This photo was taken @ around 7pm this evening. as you can see (kinda) there is not greaseball effect. This concludes the week long trial of the SmashBox Photofinish Primer. I received a 7ml sample to try and though I was dubious at first (doubts lingered from my experience with the GOSH primer) I am a total convert. The saying is definitely true a little goes a long way with the Smashbox Photofinish primer, I still have some of my sample left even after using it for an entire week. 

       Tomorrow I will be attending the Smashbox 3 day event, hopefully I will be able to try other products and get a makeover. :-)

Have any of you tried the SmashBox primers/or any other primers? Comment below and tell me your experiences.

SmashBox Smackdown Photofinish vs L'ancome Teint de Miracle foundation.

     Day three of the SmashBox smackdown, it was a good start for Photofinish, the L'ancome Teint de Miracle glided on and gave me a semi matte, and very natural finish. One thing about the L'ancome foundations they appear very natural when applied to the skin. I didn't get much oiliness til about 3pm, I did blot my face twice today, using some tissue, I did not touch up or apply blot powder.

It was not bad at all, the Teint de miracle definitely held up well with the Photofinish compared to other times when I had worn it alone or with the GOSH face primer. Tomorrow it is the NUMBER 1 foundation in my arsenal Estee Lauder double wear against the Photo finish primer.
