Christine leads the way with 3 points…
My friends all rave about primers, so I gave a very popular primer a try. I was a little disappointed by it and in the words of my 3 year old wondered..”What’s the big deal?” Which primer am I referring to?

I had my staple makeup remover, but then went on the hunt for something better. I asked my readers to tell me their favorite and eventually found what I called the Holy Grail. I have not stopped using this makeup remover since.
Which makeup remover did I review and deem the Holy Grail?

Christine seems to have her game on with 2 points!
