Have You Heard About This???

Ok, I was watching Youtube the other night and stumbled upon a lovely lady putting stuff on her face I would have never thought of applying to my face! She described how she used Milk of Magnesia as a way to tone down the oil and shine. Then the next product really got me..She put Monistat cream on her face as a primer! WHAT?? Monistat???? Ok it wasn't the vaginal itch cream it is the chafing gel powder. Well after all is said and done her face looked great! Actually, there are quite a few ladies who Vlogged about these two products...so I had to try it! Here is my experience.

First I bought the Milk of Magnesia at the store for less than $4. It can be found in the isle with anti-acids and vitamins. After I applied my moisturizer I applied the milk of magnesia with my foundation brush to my oil prone areas and let it dry. It dries white..but don't get scared.

Next I applied the um..ahhumm..Monistat. LOL it still cracks me up! This can be bought in the feminine hygiene area for about $6. WOW! It really glides on so smooth and although it is a gel, it feels powdery soft. A little goes a long way with this stuff so apply lightly concentrating on areas of your face that crease. It should take away most of the white from the milk of magnesia.

Ok, next step, apply your foundation. On this occasion, I applied a tinted moisturizer. I use the Smash Box brand.

Now I am ready to do my eyes, highlighting and eyebrows.Today, I chose to do a purple and white eye. BEAUTIFUL, I must say!

Just need a few finishing touches, a light lip and glam hair...Ready to go!

Now I must say, I am totally sold on the Monistat as a primer. My makeup was so smooth...I am in love! The milk of magnesia did a good job too. Normally I am shining before I even get to walk out of the door. Now the milk doesn't totally keep away the shine, but it does keep it under control for maybe an extra hour or two than what you would have without it. So since it was only $4 I consider it a great investment!
