HELLO LOVIES! Hope all of you are doing fabulous! So here I am again w another product review that was just recently released. I purchased mine from Ulta about a month ago or so. I have been trying it out every day since and finally feel ready to do a review. So lets get right to it!
WHAT IT IS:
A face primer that neutralizes redness and brightens skin tone.
THEY DESCRIBE IT AS:
"new multi-tasking face primer intuitively adjust to smooth and soften skin while correcting skin's most common problem with visible color correcting strands. Green ribbons neutralize redness, while swirls of lavender pigments even out and brighten skin tone. Imperfections are diffused and skin is up to 265% more hydrated. This lightweight, non-oily formula works for all skin types but is specifically formulated for sensitive skin. Wear alone for a flawless finish or underneath foundation for the first step to perfected skin."
MY OPINION:
I must say I had some really high hopes for this face primer. So first off the packaging is great! I love the fact that it comes with a pump which makes for easy dispensing of the product. The look of the helix coil of the two shades is pretty eye catching. Kind of reminded me of Stila's One Step Correct.
So getting past the nice design lets get into what the product does for you. At first glance you would think that it would do what it claims to do, correct and perfect. However that is not the case at all. When you apply the primer it does not reduce or neutrilize any redness. I feel like after I apply it I still have the same amount of redness, no more no less. I also do not see any brightening of my skin. Just looks normal. To be honest I think my morning face wash brightens my face more than this primer. The primer is lightweight and do not feel oily at all.
When applied it makes my face feel super soft. Still that is not what I was expecting when I purchased this primer. I also noticed that it does have a smell to it. I cant quite describe it but I will say that to some of you it may not be too pleasant. To me is smells almost the same way that my Laura Mercier face primer smells. In conclusion this is just a face primer. It does not do anything it claims to do.
RATING:
*Product: 3 out of 5
*Packaging: 5 out of 5
*Quality: 1 out of 5
*Would I buy again?: No, the packing is great and it works well as just a primer but does not do anything it claims to do.
*Price: $13.99
*Where to buy: Ulta or any drugstore
