    I love this primer to death! I bought it when it first came out a few months ago and I still have half a bottle left after daily use, sometimes twice daily. I only use it as a primer, I spray 5-6...

    Got this as a sample and couldn't figure out what to do with it. Like was it a toner, primer, setting spray, skin refresher?!? Was it similar to my MAC Fix+? Did some digging and found out it's a 3...

    I love the way this smells and I feel like it does work well as a primer but to set my makeup, it doesn't seem to do much.

    This is awful stuff, what a waste of money! I bought it to set my make up, rather than as a primer and all that it does is make your face wet and cause your make up to run. I've tried spraying it...

    I love this so much! It's the perfect spray to use before foundation, so it glides on easier.. And after powder to set everything. Even if I don't wear makeup I will use this during the day when my...

    I'll be very honest. I have no idea what this does. It claims to prime your makeup. I use it before my foundation as a primer and more so after as a setting spray. I love it and makes me feel...

    What's the point of this product? It's geared as a primer? It's water with a little caffeine and diamond powder (which has no benefit for skin). Any antioxidant properties will degrade thanks...

    This is my favorite hydrating, dewy finish setting spray. Edit: removed 2 lippies because this breaks me out instantly. ) : every time I use it, hours later I have new zits forming.

    I was skeptical of its abilities but it does a pretty good job as a finishing spray to cancel out the powdery appearance after I apply my finishing powder. Experience no separation of foundation on...

    I like this but not really sure about it's priming abilities. What I find this helpful for is more of a hydrating, alcohol free setting spray, very similar to MAC Fix Plus. I still think a normal...
