The Ordinary is one of those brands that makes me question how much I pay for every other beauty product I own. I am still not quite sure how they can create such beautiful packaging, effective products that inexpensively!

I’ve been planning a separate blog post about my favorite skincare products and you’ll definitely see a few from them.

I first became aware of The Ordinary primers from my favorite makeup artist, Wayne Goss. He has to be one of my favorite people to watch on YouTube because he really knows his stuff and has been doing makeup on celebrities for years. There is nothing funnier than him debunking makeup techniques gone wrong.

So let’s get into the three products I’ve been testing.

However, the favorites that I do have I have found myself reaching for over and over and I can say…

Spotted: New Benefit Hoola Lite Bronzer

Finding new products that I haven’t read about yet is kind of my favorite thing. I’m too small of a blogger to get press releases early, but spotting brand new things I haven’t heard many people talking about yet kind of makes me giddy.
