Does expensive mean its better?

Who knows? I've sure been trying some pretty pricey items and here is what i loved and what I didn't!

Kinda:



16.00 for .5 oz

Sephora Ultra smoothing Primer

What I like is the softness it delivers as you apply it. It feels somewhat greasy though and as far as what Ive seen it does nothing to hide imperfections



Better:

.
less than 8.00

Rimmel Fix & Perfect foundation primer.  For under 8.00 in major chain stores such as walmart. It covered some of my redness and felt good on my skin as well as kept my makeup in place. Not smoothing like the Sephora but does much more.



YUCKY:




MAC Fix +
20.00 for 3.4 oz

Smells gross! I have not seen any benefit to using this product. i have tried spraying as a finish spray over makeup.... as well as a refresher in the morning. Not worth the money!



NO WAY...NEVER AGAIN:



Smashbox Targeted pore and liner primer
32.00

Only + I seen with this is it did ever so slightly plump my few wrinkles   indentations. I put this on as a base and tried applying primer on top.....it clumped up and flaked and was a waste of product. Actually I have not found any product i can use with this...so it has to be worn alone.  Though its recommend to use smashbox products with it, I tried using many other products and it had the same clumpy results.
NOT worth the money


My best friend:




Almay One coat dial up mascara
aprox 8.00

I paid 1.00 at our local dollar store. I wasnt expecting much and was wowed so much I went and bought 5 more. For that price who wouldn't? Does thicken and somewhat lengthen. I use 1,2,and 3 and let dry in between. 1 on days when Im heading to the gym and want a natural look. All 3 when i want some sexy look to overcome me! WORTH 8.00


UNdecided:


Clinque redness solutions

so far I've only tried the one that targets spots and I've seen a VERY SLIGHT difference. I have in my opinion an extreme amount of red patches on my face and will go to any length to look like or have flawless skin. I just found this exact set as pictured at TJ MAXX for 27.99 and I passed it up....kinda kicking myself now as i went back and its gone.
