The only reason I purchased one of the Rimmel London Kate Sculpting and Highlighting Kit Palettes ($6.99) is because I liked the blush shade. Sorry!? Not sorry! No, seriously, totally went down that way.

Physicians Formula #InstaReady Face Primer ($11.99) is a new mattifying facial primer with an SPF 18 that blurs the appearance of pores, fine lines and imperfections while protecting skin and prepping skin for makeup.

And that’s in fact what Physicians Formula #InstaReady Face Primer is, a traditional silicone primer.

Here are my review and thoughts on the formula.

Here’s my review and thoughts.

neimanmarcis.com has an extra 20% off select makeup and beauty products including Bobbi Brown Beach which is marked down to $60.

I have to say outside of the occasional Friends and Family Sale, I’ve never seen so many discounts on Bobbi Brown lately. With Bobbi stepping down from the helm at her company, I’m puzzled what all this means. Hmmm….!

Oh well, still a good time to snag a deal right?
