I did not like this primer. It was too shimmery. I couldn't get past the shimmers. I had to return it immediately.

I saw Carmindy apply makeup on a talk show and she mentioned this primer as something appropriate for women of all ages. She also mentioned that there's a difference between glitter and shimmer,...

I'm pretty on the fence about this product. I was in CVS one day and decided to pick this up, since I'd been eyeing the "inspired by Carmindy" Sally Hansen line for a while, and was interested in a...

I actually really like this primer. It is definitly NOT for oily skin girls. I am dry and this just give me that nice glow. Not too much sparkle, just a hint here and there. It goes on smooth and...

I don't know how I feel about this product actually. I thought I liked it but then I realized that when I touched my face during the day accidentally, I would have a spot where my fingertip was. ...

The reason I like this primer is it does not break me out or cause irritation. I've used foundation primers costing two and three times what I paid for this at Ulta ($9.99) and could not wear them...

I absolutely LOVE the Carmindy Sally Hansen foundation and pressed powder, so I thought I'd try the primer to make the combo even better. I swapped for this, and had very high hopes. I have...

I've never used primer before, so I don't know much, but I like the product. As about half of all Bare Mineral users know, the foundation can make your face itch and this primer did help some...

I know absolutely nothing about primers. I have never used a face primer before so take what I say with a grain of salt. I purchased this with a few other Natural Beauty products and I have to say...

I bought this at Ulta for $9.99 USD. It comes in a pump and the bottle is somewhat translucent so you can see how much is left. It has a pearl-like appearance, a touch shimmery, and a cross...

So far so good. I'm a big fan of primers. I usually buy them when I buy a new foundation. I wanted to give the Carmindy line a try-(I'm a big fan of WhatNotToWear) at CVS where I am employed....

It worked as well as Smashbox Photo Finish Light for me, despite the reviews. I don't know why: it's 106 degrees where I live, and it is my "oily" time of month, and I had no hope after reading...

I really wanted to like this product because I really wanted to find a cheap primer. My friend recommended it after saying her mother liked it, so I tried. I was shocked when I first pumped it...

It is hard to find the words to describe how useless and awful this product is--it is greasy, watery glitter in a pump bottle. It does absolutely nothing to 'prime' your skin or hide pores--if...

If I could give the packaging quality a minus zero, I would. This is a glass pump container and when you push the pump, the contents goosh out in a totally pornographic way. You simply must hold...

I too was swayed by the price, and all I can say is "yuck"! First of all, the pump squirts out too much product and it's so slippery...I have dry skin, and this managed to make me look oily! It's...

Okay, so this is my first review. I had to review this because I just don't understand why the low reviews. I have combination skin and this stuff is great, I tried the smashbox and used it all up...

I was very disappointed in this product. First of all, the smell is HORRIBLE. Smells like chemicals, for lack of a better description. Secondly, it is greasy to the max, so if you already have...
