I'm very much on the fence with this one. I didn't hate it, but it didn't really impress me either.
As has been mentioned in other reviews, the packaging is a bit of a trick and there's actually a very small amount of it in the tube. I didn't read the capacity when I ordered it though and it was very cheap, so I have no real complaints there. It may be something for others to bear in mind though. I liked the style of pump dispenser for limited waste of product.
This primer has a really nice, refreshing scent to it and it glided on smoothly. It didn't feel too slimy and left the surface of my skin feeling very smooth in preparation for makeup.
The overall finish at first felt and looked very flawless with my regular foundation on top but, as the day went on, I don't think my base lasted any better than it normally would. I occasionally skip this step of my makeup routine when I'm in a huge hurry and I honestly don't know for sure whether it made a great deal of difference.
For that reason, I just can't get excited about this one. It hasn't really made a difference for me, for better or worse.
This is the first e.l.f product I've used and I'm glad to say I loved it.
It has the same finish as my smashbox primer - almost powdery finish. I couldn't help but touch my face afterwards (as I normally would with any good primer)
It didn't do much in terms of reducing pore size. Nor did I find my makeup lasting as long as it normally would - but it wasn't far off!
I have extreme combo skin and my oily T-Zone was much the same as it normally is and same with my dry patches. So in terms of combating these issues, I would say this doesn't help at all.
I can and will say however, that I love the PRICE! I mean.... $76 compared to $6!? Seriously good.
On lazy days I will use this primer instead of my ultra expensive smashbox one. It's nice to have this when you don't want to run out of the good stuff so quickly!
