    I wish I had tried the one without SPF. This review is for the one with SPF. Breaks me out. At first I wasn't sure, so I stopped using it for a while, cleared up. Added this back into the...

    The only upside of this product is that you get a lot of it. I can't say this is imperative to my makeup routine. I can't tell the difference when I use it and don't use it - which says a lot about...

    This is one expensive primer, it was 40$ CDN; expensive enough to be a foundtion itself. However, I do like to use it. It works great mixed with a bit of foundation to make a tinted moisturizer....

    Meh nothing exciting. I definitely didn't notice any difference. If anything it was just a light moisturiser and had absolutely no benefit on my makeup. It's pretty ridiculously expensive over here...

    A makeup artist friend recommended this to me, and being the impatient person that I am, immediately rushed out and bought it before going to south beach for vacation. Wow, am I glad I bought it!...

    I agree with the other reviews that this primer is nothing special and is very greasy, HOWEVER, it works perfectly if you use this as a base for foundations that normally go on cakey. I just went...

    I didn't notice a difference in the way my makeup looked at all. And it clogged my pores.

    This is decent as a moisturizer, but I don't think it really qualifies as a primer in my book. It plumps my skin like any other moisturizer would do, but that's about it. Not really impressed.
