e.l.f. Power Grip Matte Primer

Beauty Bag Doll's I am so happy to be bringing you another review of a product that I really like. The e.l.f. Power Grip Matte Primer which just recently launched and retails for $10. I was lucky enough to receive this from Topbox Circle in exchange for my honest review. I was very excited about this launch because I am a big fan of their Power Grip Primer + 4% Niacinimamide as well as their Power Grip Dewy Setting Spray. The e.l.f. Power Grip Matte Primer caught my eye because it is Matte and my combination skin type that is more oily is just what I need. Since I am a Topbox Circle member I was lucky to qualify for this to sample and I jumped on the chance. Read on for my review.




I used the e.l.f. Power Grip Matte Primer daily for over a week and with different types of foundations to give this Primer the ultimate test. I am happy to say that it really does work. My makeup lasted all day which for me is anywhere from 10 to 16 hour's. This kept my oily skin at bay with some days getting no touch-ups and I am thrilled to say this did not cause any breakouts on my acne prone skin. It is a clear Primer and after applying it I wait about a minute before starting my makeup and it gets very sticky which helps with getting your makeup to grip o to my skin. It also did elp with blurring my pores. I highly recommend this Primer.

Lancome Teint Idole Ultra 24 Hour Longwear Matte Foundation

 Beauty Bag Dolls I am back again after what feels like a whirlwind month of February. It has gone quickly and I have been teasing you about this foundation review since my Birthday month. I did purchase this for my Birthday but I did not start using it until the end of last month because my new goals this year is to have one of my current foundations that is in my rotation. Since I recently finished one I gave the new to me Lancome Teint Idole Ultra 24 Hour Longwear Matte Foundation a try. Now this is a foundation that has been out for a while now and I do love the complimentary concealer to it which I have used and repurchased many times my full reviewis here. I got interested in this foundation for a few reasons. The first one is that I have a combination skin and this is a matte foundation and the second is that it has SPF 25 so I always like to take the added sun protection. Now I am also thinking spring and summer so a matte foundation for me is non- negotiable for my combination more oily prone skin type. I am also going to look for a matte primer so stay tuned for that. I purchased the Lancome Teint Idole Ultra 24 Hour Longwear Matte Foundation in shade 235N for $53.00 on Sephora.com. Read on for my thoughts.




This is a superior foundation. Lancome made the best foundation for my combination skin type. It is full coverage and hides any imperfections you want hidden. It sets fairly quickly. I tried to  apply it with a brush and beauty blender.  It is best applied with a brush and pressed into the skin with a damp blender. I found that with that application method, you will have a flawless face. This foundation has SPF 25 in it, which is an absolute bonus. I highly recommend this foundation to anyone looking for a Matte Foundation that wears for my 16 hour day's. I love it.

Drunk Elephant Bora Barrier Repair Cream

Happy Saturday Beauty Bag Dolls! I am thrilled to report that Drunk Elephant has done it again. They have hooked me on another moisturizer. I am a big fan and user of their Protini Moisturizer and I was looking for something more recently and I thought there is no better time to spoil myself then for my Birthday and I started to use this the day after my birthday so after a few weeks of trying this out I now have my review for all of you. I also will be starting a new foundation in the coming days so look out for a review on that sometime soon. I have to finish up my current Huda Beauty Easy Blur Foundation which is almost empty. I have found that this year I refuse to start a new foundation unless I have emptied one. This has become very useful for me since I go between 3 or 4 foundations in my rotation. Now back to this Drunk Elephant Bora Barrier Repair Cream. It retails for $70.00 at Sephora and for me it is worth it.

This is a must have!!

My combination skin tye has been very happy since adding this product into my routine. It has been very cold here on the East Coast so every night during my night skincare routine I use the Drunk Elephant Bora Barrier Repair Cream and it has given my skin the long lasting hydration it promises. I have had no dry flakes patches on my skin that your foundation clings to in that weird way ( if you know you know) My skin has this bounce and plumpness to it. This has no scent and just feels so luxurious on the skin and on very dry skin days you can add a pump of the Drunk Elephant F-Balm like I do at least 2 or 3 times a week when the weather outside includes a wind chill factor. For me this is worth every dollar spent and I will be repuchasing it for the foreseeable future like many other Drunk Elephant products. 

Purchase on the Drunk Elephant website here or at Sephora.com here.
