Two More Ways To Use Face Primer

Hiya, guys!

Remember how I raved about the Maybelline Baby Skin Pore Eraser for quite some time now? (read here and here) Well I just discovered a few more uses for this baby, and believe me, it will knock your socks off.

Some heads up before I begin -- you may have encountered one of the 'uses' of primer somewhere (eherm, Internet, eherm!), and I have to admit I do found these new uses in there. I just tried it for the sake of trying it out, and to see if it does work. So this post will be all about new uses for Maybelline Baby Skin Pore Eraser, or maybe any primer for that matter.

1. Eye Primer 

So the Maybelline Baby Skin Pore Eraser is a primer for the face, but can you use this as eye primer as well?

I tried to answer this question during the Christmas party in our school last Monday, when I tried to use the face primer as an eye primer. Because I forgot to pack my trusty NYX HD Eyeshadow with me, I panicked a bit because the eyeshadow look that I'm trying to achieve might get ruined because of my naturally greasy eyelids. So I resorted to applying a tiny bead of the primer on my ring finger, spread it to my other ring finger and smoothed onto my eyelids. And I proceeded with my eye makeup.

This is what my eyes looked like when the makeup was freshly applied...

And this is what it looked like after about seven hours.

Amazing! It did not budge nor crease, the color is still vibrant despite some tiny fading parts -- overall my eye makeup game is still on fleek.

Just a reminder, though: you might not get the same results as I did when you try this trick for yourself, and more so when you use another kind of face primer. See this article, which I found on the Internet the next day, for more info.

All About Thigh Chafing (And An Unusual Way To Prevent It)

Hiya, guys!

I have a question for you: what's that one clothing item you have but you hate to wear?

Mine would probably be skirts and dresses, because every time I wear them, my thighs would rub vigorously every time I walk. And this chafing in my inner thighs (otherwise known in the plus-size fashion blogging world as chub rub) would be very painful at the end of the day, that afterwards I would swear not to wear skirts and dresses ever again.

But then I like -- no, I LOVE -- the look of skirts and dresses on me. It makes me more feminine-looking and it gives me that much-needed break from the masculine look of pants and jeans.

I believe that this problem with chafing inner thighs affect nearly every woman who has no thigh gap, and particularly those with bigger thighs like me. And because trying to achieve that thigh gap is not an option for me (because it's not possible, at least for me), I have to find ways to enjoy skirts and dresses without cursing them later in the day.
