    This stuff is wonderful, but boy is it also expensive. I really find NYX Angel Veil to be like 90% dupey of this; they're very similar in wear, feel, and performance, it is only the texture of the...

    UPDATE: Changed my review to 2 stars in stead of the original 5. Reason being, the dry sample I got worked WAY better than the bottle I splurged on. I don't know whether it just works better dry?...

    For the most part I guess it’s worth the 70 bucks…??? I’ve yet to find a primer that doesn’t break me out, shrinks my pores for the majority of the day and keeps my face in place. It DEFINITELY...

    I have an only t-zone and sadly, this primer did not mattify my skin beyond 2 hours of wear. I had oily patches on my T-zone and had to reapply powder as usual. I also did not see any minimization...

    My skin is so oily in my T-Zone that I break out with oily patches just 2-3 hours after putting on foundation (I use Double Wear, which is supposed to last all day, but on me lasts only four hours...

    When I lived in a northern climate, I used to use Hourglass no 28. Since I moved to South, I found the primer too heavy. I purchased the travel size of the mineral veil and I fell in love with...

    I’m disappointed. I get crazy creases when I use this primer. I have combo/oily skin. It sits on top of my notes and emphasised my pores. For the price, I won’t buy this again soon.
