In the video I mention the following primers, and tried to touch on their price points, but I did so with out any notes. I'll list them here, with links for more details on them, and will list their current SRP:

Avon MagiX - $10 (on sale now for $7.95) (*bought this myself)
Tricia Sawyer Skin Balancing Water Primer - $34 (*bought this myself)
Sally Hansen Natural Beauty Luminizing Face Primer - $10 (on sale at CVS for $7.99) (*bought this myself)

Cover FX Mint Glaze FX Primer - $22 (*PR Provided)

I also mentioned, but didn't show:
L'Oreal Studio Secrets Professional Magic Perfecting Base - $13
Urban Decay Primer Potion - $18

I also wanted to mention one that I had forgotten to show in the video, the Clinique Redness Solutions Daily Protective Base SPF 15. This is a primer that not only sets your skin for your foundation, it does so by correcting the redness in your skin, with a green tint, if that is one of your problems - $17.50 (*PR Provided)

Just so you know, I have only touched on the brands, and availability, of primer products that are out there. I just wanted to at least let you know how much of a variety there is, and how there is definitely one for you and want you need it to, if you decided to start using a primer. Please let me know if you use any of the ones I mentioned or if this compels you to try one - I'd really like to know.

When I was growing up, the only kind of blush I ever used, or was even introduced to, were powder blushes. I have come to learn that there are so many variations besides powder now, that I want to make sure you know, too.

In this video I mention several different types of blushes/brands. They are:

• Three Custom Colors Crème to Powder Blush in "Morning After" (*PR provided)
• tarte Cheek Stain in "True Love" (*discontinued - boo! - GWP)
• Clinique Blushwear Cream Stick in "Shy Blush" (*mine is a mini-tube GWP)
• MAC Blushcreme in "Florida" (*PR provided)
• Benefit "Posie Tint" (*from a gift bag)
• NARS Cream Blush in "Penny Lane" (*from a giveaway)

I forgot to mention a couple of brands/products that def deserved to be shown, too. The first is the Sue Devitt Starbrights Lip & Cheek Gel in "Capella" (*got in a gift bag). This cheek gel scared me when I first saw it becaus it is *purple*. But after the lovely MUA put it on my cheeks and showed me how pretty it could be on my skintone, I was hooked.

The second one that should have been in the video is the Covergirl & Olay Simply Ageless Sculpting Blush. Besides being a creamy blush that goes on easily, it is also the only blush that incorporates Olay's Regenerist Serum into the mix - making it not only pretty, but good for your skin, too. (*of course, I can't help but to mention that I was lucky enough to have celebrity MUA Jake Bailey apply it on me and it looked *good*). (*warning: I may be biased).

Like I said in the video, the colors are going to look more intense in the package, but with a light touch, you make just about any color work for you. Also, don't forget what I said about layering - you can start with an alternate type of blush, finishing off the top with your powder blush for a longer lasting cheek.

Let me know if you have tried any of these, or if you have heard of another blush type that I didn't list here. I would love to hear about it.
