Review:Tarte Lifted Natural Eye Primer with Firmitol...

Wednesday, August 26, 2009

Hi Everyone!!

Thanks to the folks at Tarte...I got the opportunity to try Lifted Natural Eye Primer with Firmitol. It's literally my very first'real' eye primer. I've been using L'Oreal H.I.P. Paint in Commanding as my primer so trying out Lifted was greatly appreciated:) LOL!

Pros:
-even though it looks like its not my color of my lid it blended in well into my skin. Very universal.


-My eye shadow( cheap and expensive) held on for HOURS. I mean HOURS. I didn't crease and my look would still intact at night when it was time to wash my face. I'm now a believer in 'real' primers.

-A little goes a long way. I dabbed with the dough-foot applicator and then blended all of the eye with my finger.
I think this will last for a minute, long as I screw the top on good:).

Cons:
-it contains Firmitol...
'clinically-tested, patented, multi-ingredient “performance matrix” combines GABA, purslane extract, ginseng extract and centella asiatica extract for an instant wrinkle reducing effect.'

-I thought that it firmed my lid a little. I watched over the last week for the results and really didn't see a 'wrinkle reducing'. I do have a bit of creasing in the outer corners but that can't be wrinkles. I'm 31(!?!?!?!) But I watched for firming on the lid...not much changed.




Consensus:

If you don't invest in anything, and you are cheap and broke like me, invest in Tarte's Lifted!
