    I bought this primer because of good recommendation of one blogger, I just used it few times (thank God) as I've started to look through the ingredients. Apparently it's full of parabens, that's...

    I bought this primer because of its hydrating properties but found that it's nothing special. It didn't do anything for my skin or for for my makeup; didn't make my skin look better, didn't make it...

    Oh.my.God. I am in lurve. For real. Hear me out. I have dry skin, and there are days that no matter what I do, I just can't seem to get my foundation to look right. Well, not anymore. For those...

    Overall I don't think it's that bad of a primer, but there are things about it that make me not even want to use it. I purchased it because the winter weather was making my skin a bit dry. It has...

    Ugh this is so nice! It's a clear primer that basically just feels like liquid silk. You only need the tiniest dab. It gives a satiny soft finish. You can apply extra if you want a dewy glow. The...

    I really don't understand how this has such poor reviews on here! I decided to try this primer because it's not as expensive as the ones I've been using. And the ones I have been using I never...

    I've never honestly been blown away by any primers. I've tried pricey ones, medium priced ones, and now this one. I do notice that they smooth out your face and make it last a bit longer but I...

    Works well for the price, I suppose. I really only like the product for the silicon feel that smooths out the rougher spots on my face. It helps foundation apply better, but I don't notice a...

    I bought this Primer when I ran out of my Smashbox one and needed a cheaper one until I could get round to buying it again. And I fell in love with it! I have oily/combination and acne prone skin...

    I have oily skin so I don't need a lot of "hydration," but I received this in my elf Beauty Bundle so I figured why not try? It did not break me out (I was a little apprehensive coz usually...

    Sooo, I think they changed the formula because I just bought this primer but mine is a light blue color. It says: "Fills in fine lines and moisturizes with Vitamins A, C, & E. This doesn't have any...

    I didn't see much hydration on my dry skin and that was on top of moisturizer. It also didn't do anything for smoothing out my skin or longevity for cosmetics. The deal breaker is the strong,...

    The only redeeming factor in this product is the packaging! I really wanted to like this face primer but it didn't work for me at all. It smells awful and chemicle-like, it dried out my skin,...

    I purchased this and immediately noticed a rancid smell. I bought another thinking that I got a dud, but the second one smelled the same. The reason I bought this was because Paula's Choice raved...

    In my search for a primer to hydrate the dryer parts of my face, I came across this primer. It comes in a pump which is nice, I guess. While it is more hydrating than the other primer I was using,...

    $6 for a bottle of primer sounds pretty decent, doesn't it? Well..yeah, right until we realize that because you only get a half ounce, it actually comes out at $12/ounce - more expensive...

    I really wanted to like this just as much as the Hourglass #28 but it's just not as good. This one is thicker and even when I use half a pump and let it set, it still makes my foundation oxidize....
