PRODUCT REVIEW: LORAC POREfection Mattifying Face Primer

During one of my many binge trips to ULTA, I was shopping for a new primer.  But not just any primer, I try to only use makeup that doesn't have certain chemicals in it.  I told the beauty consultant my needs/concerns and she steered me to LORAC POREfection Mattifying Face Primer, which is free of parabens, silicon and oil!  That's exactly what I was looking for!! But was it going to work???  After using LORAC POREfection Mattifying Face Primer, which does have Salicylic Acid and antioxidants of Vitamins A, C and , I have been impressed!

INTERVIEW: Dream Kings Clothing

TKHC: What inspired you to become a clothing designer?

DKC: I have always been into art and design. From high school into college design has just been something that I can use to relax. Whether it is for canvas or a t-shirt, it is a way I can chill out and clear my head. So when I realized that I could create a company that would allow me to design everyday and my job could become my passion, I decided that this is what I wanted to do.

TKHC: What inspires your designs?

DKC: Culture would be the biggest thing. The more art, design, and overall human culture you see the wider your pallet is when you sit down and create. I have had the blessing to travel to other countries and take in the traditional art first hand, and I think that is what has led to where I am as a designer today. The more art and design you allow yourself to be exposed to the more your design will grow. I think that this applies to any profession or passion.
