Revlon Photo Ready Perfecting Primer Review

Face primers were perviously only a high end product that were exclusive for Celebrities and for wedding. However Revlon saw this as an oppurtiny and released the first drugstore primer. The Revlon Photo Ready Perfecting Primer was something i have had my eye on for a while, but its price (A$40!) had deterred me. Luckily, Priceline were having a 40% of sale and i finally caved.

The packaging is good, easy to use pump, its feels like quality as it is made out of glass. The design on the jar is quite minimalistic which seems to be going for a high end look. I like that the packet is clear, an easy indication of how much is left.

When you pump it out, it is a white colour. Once you rub it into you skin it goes clear. It is very light on the skin, not at all heavy and allows your actual make up to glide on quite smooth. So far i was very impressed. However with primers it is not just how it feels and looks, it is how it preforms!

This photo below was taken just before i attended a friends graduation. This was a prime (see what i did there?!) time to test this primer out because underneath this make up is the worst my skin has ever been, and I was sick with the flu. Definitely putting it to the test!

The photo below was take about 8 hours after the first one. During my time out i had food and drink and keeping in mind i was sick, so constantly touching my face, I was very impressed by the performance. I never did any make up touch ups while out. The only drastically worn off make up product is my eye liner on my bottom lash-line, which is more than likely attributed to my eyes constantly watering. I think under normal circumstances this product would be amazing, especially considering it is a drug store brand.

( Apologies for this photo being taken on the train, it just happened to have better lighting then my house!)

Overall I am very happy that i finally caved and purchased this product. I think i will probably repurchase it in the future, however considering the price i would only use it sparingly, for special occasions.

OOTD: Spring Races

So the last weekend was the first day of the Spring Racing Carnival!!

One of my friends decided to have their 21st in the members area at Rosehill. This usually goes for about $120 a ticket not including food and drink. Although the members area was very nice and had a great view I don't know if i'd pay that if we went again! It was a great day overall, we doubled our winnings from $10 to $20, a very high return i think. As you can see above all the girls looked beautiful and all the boys looks dapper!

I loved getting all dressed up and i thought i would share some of the outfits with you!

To start off, I thought i would show you a shot of the make up i put together for the day.

Ok, so to start i used a normal foundation liquid with a powder. I used my bronzer to contour my cheeks, i actually do not have any concealer or highlighter on my face. I used a red lip pencil under my lipstick to make ti stay longer. I used softer colours for eye shadow as it was a day trip. I used a light brown and a gold on the lid. Then liquid liner and mascara. This photo was taken almost at the end of the day so that shows the staying power of the make up. 

I just thought i would quickly go over some of the girls outfits, however i will do mine in detail later. Starting Left to right. 

Ashlee bought everything she is wear on Ebay for, something like, $12, bargin! 

Following her is Jasmine who i am unsure of where her outfit came from but if you are interested, comment and I will find out for you. 

Next, Sarah. She is is a 6 ft model, as you can see. I believe she bought her dress in a boutique in Melbourne, and she made her fasinator herself. Amazing! 

The birthday girl next, she bought her dress online from ASOS as with Cara, next to her.

 Finally the last two girls both got their outfits from Sportsgirl! 

Ok my outfit! The dress was from a site called 'JenJenHouse' I bought it for $140, a little pricy i know but i think i will get the wear out of it, as i have a few occasions coming up! My fasinator i got from my Nan for Christmas! My handbag i wore to my year 12 formal, and i bought it from a boutique in Cabramatta (Its kind of like Chinatown). The shoes i borrowed from my Mum and all the jewellery is either given to me from Daniel or from Roma!

Thats all for now, i will have a video up on my channel with video from the day in the future!
