    I've had this for almost a year, I just never reviewed because I couldn't make up my mind. The bottom line is, I rarely use this, and I wouldn't repurchase. I originally loved the feel of it, it...

    Despite some poor reviews and the ridiculous price...this primer really does keep my foundation/make up in place. It preps my combination skin and makes my skin appear smooth and satin-y..alone or...

    I originally got this as a sample that lasted me for a few days. Then I went to Sephora and got the full sized 2 oz tube. You can get it in 1 oz for $36 or the 2 oz for $49. I thought i'd be...

    A little unnecessary in my opinion. I've heard this product eliminates excess oil but I have dry skin so I can't comment on that. There's no noticable difference as far as making my foundation...

    I've used both the regular and oil-free one... I bought them because of the rave reviews I've heard about them, and I have a lot of acne scars and bumps that the primers supposedly filled in and...

    I was given this primer as a gift. Let me tell you how grateful I am that I didn't spend any money on this crap. It made my mineral makeup slide all over my face and ball up and the pump only...

    Due to the positive reviews, I bought this product to use under my wedding makeup. I have oily, acne prone skin. However, my face got shiny pretty fast, and it really shows in all my wedding...

    This is the first primer I've ever tried, and I've been using it for several weeks, so I feel this review is a fair representation. I did get the green primer to help with some redness on my face....

    I like this product. Just feeling your face right after you can tell it absorbs all the oils already on your face to make sure the surface is matte. I bought the sample tube, because a little goes...
