    I can't really comment on the packaging. I bought this but received a free sample at the same time and fortunately tried that first. I had high hopes since this has had such rave reviews in...

    Wow! Wow! I bought a sample of this at Ulta, and was kind of annoyed at the high price. So I went into this with a skeptical attitude and was quickly converted. This is a really great product. ...

    I purchased this product with high hopes. I have been looking for a great primer, and have had good luck with Smashbox in the past, so I went ahead and paid $38 and expected something great. What...

    This was my first primer. I have to comment on how horrible the packaging is. Since the day I got it the dispenser would work sporadically. Even when I had used less than half the product the...

    (I got this as a birthday gift, so I can't comment on the price.) The first time I used it, it was an amazing matte gel, just what I need for my oily T-zone. It lasted hours, which was great and...

    Yech, this made my skin feel greasy. No matter how small an amount I took it seemed to make my foundation application worse not better. I kept it a long time thinking it was me not the product...

    This is my first primer ever. It makes my skin feel silky smooth but i don't think it makes my make up last all day long. I usually have to touch up by the middle or end of the day. I wouldn't buy...

    I didn't like this. First I didn't notice a difference in my foundation when I used it with the primer. Second, it made me breakout! It's probably from the dimethicone that is in it since that...

    The product itself was fine, nothing special but about the same as most primers. A little on the greasy side. But the packaging is the WORST! It clogs so easily, you have to open the lid and use...

    I really like this primer. I can use this with just a moisturizer underneath if I want a natural look, or under foundation + moisturizer. Goes on smoothly, gives my skin a really nice, soft &...

    I like the feel of this primer, it leaves my skin silky smooth. However, I don't feel like it makes my make up last longer and sometimes I rubs off dry patches of skin. I think I'll try the oil...

    When I apply this product it feels like I am blending silicone and oil on my face. It does help to create a smooth finish, but I really dislike the texture. It does not smell (which is good) and...

    This primer does a great job at what it's for. It makes your skin smooth, hides pores, etc. The only problem is that it's very greasy and clogs my pores big time. The whole time I was using this my...
