Review: Urban Decay Lip Primer Potion vs. MAC Prep & Prime Lip

This was recorded while I was fiddling around with my lighting. Yes, I know I'm yellow.

Please note: I often record my videos in multiples, usually five or six in one day. If I am wearing the same clothes or makeup in more than one video, that is why.

This video was recorded some time prior to the day it was uploaded and so I may not remember what eye shadow or lip color I'm wearing.

This was edited prior to my current intro.

Details:
Lip Primer Potion $20
Available at UrbanDecay.com, Sephora stores and Sephora.com.

hi, is there a lip primer for drug store.. ??? luv your video's.

[pinkiecharm]

@iheartmac2010 I don't think I've ever seen a drugstore brand lip primer but that doesn't mean there isn't one. And thank you. :)

Hi Pinkie. Thanks for responding. Well about the spf question, someone recently told me that if there is no double + after the spf whatever amount then it is (and I feel lame because I do not remember exactly) lacking in some way. I think I need to look into it a bit more to get my question straight...lol. Anyway, have u used the Mac prep and Prime? And if so which do u prefer, UD primer potion or prep and prime? : )

[pinkiecharm]

@PinkCookie62 Not all products with broad spectrum SPF have the ++ shown on the packaging. I think the ++ signifies the broad spectrum, that is protection against UVA and UVB. I'm no expert and no dermatologist so I think if you're really concerned that you should consult a doctor. I haven't used Prep+Prime SPF 50 so I can't compare it to the UD. I will say that the UD DOES NOT have any SPF protection.

Hey there Girrrl. I just got the MAC prep and prime for face, but have not used yet as right after purchase I heard that to b TRUE spf 50 (which MAC claims 2 b) it has 2 b a a minimum ++. So it has to say spf 50 ++. Well I cannot find any ++ on the MAC. Do u know anything about all that? I mean, I think it's important. If someone's using spf anything without ++ and it's supposed 2 have it 2 b real sun protection then it can do more damage then without. Omg 2 b a savvy consumer is work! : )

@PinkCookie62 I think you're asking if the MAC Prep+Prime SPF 50 has broad spectrum protection, which would be protection from UVA and UVB rays. According to MAC, this product does have broad spectrum protection. It isn't just about the amount of SPF but also in making sure you apply it correctly to make sure you get all the protection the product offers.

I find blotting your lips with MAC blot film and then reapply works well in keeping your lipstick on longer. I've the Urban Decay however I use Clinique Almost Lipstick (sheer colours) or Bobbi Brown Lip Treatment which are very moisturising.

forget lip primers ..i tired them all....use benetint or other stains on lips in order to keep the color longer plus lip balm

@iheartmac2010 I know this was written a long time ago, but I saw lip primers from the 3 Target designer brands. I believe they are 'Kidd', 'Pixi', and 'Set'. I believe there were between $10, and $20. I haven 't tried them yet, so I can't give any comments on their quality.

Hi Meryl Streep :p

[scablet]

i have really really dark upper lip compared to my lower....so when i put on my lipgloss or lip stain...it still ends up with dark upper lip and light lower.

i'm young so i'm not really into darker colors..i'd like to try coral and light pinks...do you think the lip primer could help me lighter my upper lip? thanks in advanced~!

[iheartmac2010]

@iheartmac2010 oh my gosh thanks for answering back, that means alot. i've been a long time watcher of your video's...i love your honesty about products . i live in washington state as well.
