Why did I choose this face primer?
I wasn’t looking for a flawless finish. Honestly, I just wanted a face primer that could blur some of the discoloration and make me look more well-groomed without so much makeup. I was in Jamaica and I knew that I would engage in water activities. I didn’t want to look like my face was melting when I got out of the pool due to makeup but I also knew that I didn’t want to look like the undead in photos. I also wanted a sunscreen as I knew we’d spend a lot of time outdoors in the sun. My goal was to create a quick and easy makeup non-makeup look.
Before Picture: As you can see, I have slight discoloration in the middle of my cheek. I’m not sure if it’s acne scars, hormones, bad eating habits or what but it forms almost a square or makeup even a star (depending on who’s interpretation).
After Picture: I applied the MagiX Face Perfector (face primer) and mark. Touch & Glow Shimmer Cubes All Over Face Palette. No foundation and no concealer at all!
Viola! That was it! Quick and simple easy makeup look.
What’s my skin type?
I used to have dry skin but as I’ve gotten older, I have combination skin. The T-zone is usually oil and dry around the cheeks.
Do I have sensitive skin?
My skin is very sensitive. I easily breakout and it seems like I’m allergic to life! I have more discoloration on my cheek from cellphone use.
How does it feel?
The face primer is like a gel to powder so it’s very light and airy. It’s non-greasy and absorbs easily into the skin. It doesn’t feel heavy once applied and leaves my skin feeling soft and smooth.
How much does the face primer costs?
Normally, it retails for $12.00 but currently on sale for $8.00.
How long have I used this product?
Edited: at the time of this review: or about four months but only underneath my foundation. This was the first time using the product alone. As of February 24, 2018, it is still my go-to face primer! I refuse to use anything else!

Avon Ultra Sexy Lace is Back! OMG! I’m so thrilled about this new/old perfume. So apparently, Avon introduced this fragrance — Ultra Sexy Lace— before I rejoined but I’m so glad they’ve decided to bring it back.
OMG! I’m so thrilled about this new/old perfume. So apparently, Avon introduced this fragrance — Ultra Sexy Lace— before I rejoined but I’m so glad they’ve decided to bring it back. It smells absolutely delicious! It’s floral/ambery as Avon describes it but if you want my take: it’s slightly fruity so not teenage just-went-to-the-candy-store-fruity or disgustingly fruity where you’re trying to cover up a nasty odor. It’s more adult flirty/fruity and softens for a more cleaner, softer scent when worn all day. It’s inviting and enticing. I’m not a big fan of floral/floral scents. I love fruity and crisp/clean scents so this is perfect! Avon’s Ultra Sexy Lace is part of the Ultra Sexy fragrance line. There are two other fragrances: Ultra Sexy Pink and Ultra Sexy Heart (introduced earlier this year). All of the scents smell nice and I’m almost down to my last drop of the Heart but move over — Lace is my favorite!!! Hands down! Lace is more for everyday and that’s exactly how much I plan on wearing it. Avon describes it as “provocative pear and smoldering magnolia laced with a hint of sensual golden amber.” I can definitely smell the pear but it’s not too overpowering. It’s currently being offered online as an online exclusive and won’t make it’s way to a brochure until Campaign 11 2016 (April 29, 2016). If you loved it originally, I’m sure you’re just as thrilled to learn that it’s back! The best part is it’s being offered at an intro price of $14! How awesome is that?
