Steal vs. Splurge: Face Primer

I’m BACK with an amazing steal vs. splurge post for you today! This one is pretty amazing. I have always LOVED how a primer feels when it goes on my face. It smoothes wrinkles & imperfections and it gives me the perfect base to start applying my makeup. Not to mention that it helps my makeup stay on throughout the humidity of these insane Arkansas days!

The splurge is one of my all time favorites from my makeup bag:

s1349968-main-hero

Smashbox Photo Finish Primer, $36

This primer works great. You don’t have to use very much to cover your entire face. It gives that silky smooth feel & appearance that I love.

However, for 1/6 of this price you can get this steal:

300

ELF Mineral Infused Face Primer, $6

I bought this primer at Target on that weekend I went to a wedding and FORGOT my entire makeup bag. For $6, you can’t go wrong. It works just as well as Smashbox!

Have you found any great steals lately? Let me know in the comments below ;)

  1. Wow! That’s incredible! I can’t believe that the elf primer works as great as the smashbox one! I will definitely have to try it out!

  2. I love Smashbox! I always buy the little tiny bottles of it at the check out line in Ulta for like, $10 (which is still pricey!) but it does last me a long time. I love ELF so I will definitely have to give that a try! I would die if I left my entire makeup bag at home! Lord help!
