What I think:

| Primer- Protect |
Since this would be my first time playing with a foundation primer I was unsure of what to expect. The only thing I have ever used that was close to this would either be an eyelid primer or a bb cream. At first I was a little worried because as you can see, the formula is a little thin. I just didn’t think it would smooth out the surface of my skin as well as it the package says.
After using it a few times I was quite impressed with how well it works. I love that this primer is spf 30! I am probably the worst when it comes to putting on sunscreen or really anything to protect my skin from the sun. However, I will admit that when buying makeup one of the first things that I look for is something that will protect my face from the sun. Now I just need to work on protecting the rest of my body and I will be set!

| Creme Smooth Foundation- Warm Ivory |
I was very excited to review this foundation! I love Laura Mercier Foundations and this one is definitely my new favorite! It is super smooth, and covers wonderfully. I have combination skin so I need something that is pretty moisturizing while not being too heavy. While this foundation seems thick at first it thins out really well while still giving me the coverage I need. I also love that this foundation is not orange. I seem to have a problem finding products that are in my shade but that do not turn my skin funky colors, so I was very happy with this foundation!
Here is what my face looks like without these two products:
I’m searching for a foundation that will cover up my old acne scars well. I wonder if this would work!
I didn’t start using a foundation primer until recently & I had no idea what a difference it would make but it sure does! I love how both of these look on you! I will definitely have to check them out!
This is a very natural look on you, but great coverage. I would try it. By the way, your brows look beautiful and healthy.
Wow! It’s amazing how great the products worked to smooth and even your complexion. I wonder if I could use the primer alone as just a moisturizer since I don’t wear foundation but like an SPF in my moisturizer.
Oh I REALLY like that foundation a lot!!!!!!! It looks so creamy in the jar and so nice on your skin!
Great review! Glad you liked them and they actually worked.
Wow! You look great! Never used a primer, but I should try one!
whooooo, i am loving this, thanks for sharing
Nice product review. I hope it’s available here.
