    This is a great base for under makeup. I use it before concealer under my eyes and it smoothes any lines or imperfections. It has a clear gel consistency and is a wonderful product. If you try...

    I rec'd a sample size in a swap and I was surprisingly impressed! I never thought primers were essential and believed it was just another gimmick until I tried this one. It's a clear,non...

    This is for the SMALLER TRAVEL SIZE tube from Sephora. If you add up the price of 2 travel sizes which come in queeze tubes, you get more for the $$ than buying one full size pump. Plus, the...

    While this gel-like substance smooths your skin and prepares it for foundation, it doesn't seal in treatment products very well. I don't have terribly acne-prone skin, but it didn't seal my...
