Samples Review: MAC Pro Eye Makeup Remover, Bare Minerals Faux Tan Face, Makeup Forever Smoothing Primer

We will just call this  post a little extra stress relief. And also I need to go ahead and throw some of these little sample jars away. 

Jumping right in...

1. MAC Pro Eye Makeup Remover- Coconut Oil is my go to for removing all makeup. It never fails. Unlike this. I got this little sample about a year ago in a little order. I used half, then completely forgot I had it until I was digging around in a drawer. I think it's discontinued now. I can only find the little samples on the MAC website. But they might still be selling it in the discount stores. So long story short...it sucks. I was using it to remove L'oreal Voluminous Waterproof and it got some off. But most of it was still on my lashes. Discontinued for a reason. Also it was probably grossly overpriced.

Stings my eyes too.

2. Bare Minerals Faux Tan Face Gradual Sunless Tanner- Another discontinued product. I've had this for a long time too. But I'm the last person that needs a gradual tanner. I'm already brown. And any extra color, I like to get directly from the sun. For free. That's not always possible in the winter, so a little powder bronzer can do the same thing. I did use it a couple times. It has a strange green tinge to it, but that didn't really show up on my skin. I guess it gave me a little color, but nothing I would buy. And probably not really marketed to me in the first place.

3. MakeUp Forever Step 1 Equalizer  Smoothing Primer- Annnnd finally a product that is not discontinued. This primer kind of reminds me of Benefits Porefessional Primer. I wasn't a fan of that and I don't like Benefit as a brand. This is a little better. Kind of. It smoothed pores a little. It's supposed help with fine lines, but luckily I still don't have any of those. And hopefully won't until I'm well into my fifties. It didn't really help my makeup stick any better. But it did seem to keep my skin matte instead of looking like an oil slick in the heat. I don't know if I would by the full size. I think I would buy the primer for deep skin before this one. 

Random: This song popped up and it just reminded me so much of life in the 90's. I used to sit in my brothers room as a kid and watch Rugrats, All That, Kenan and Kel, and Are You Afraid of the Dark and I remember seeing Coolio a lot. I think they played the music video or he was a guest on one of the shows or he sang the theme song. Something. Y'all remember this song?
