e.l.f Mineral Infused Primer

I had been wanting to try this primer for years, I finally got around to ordering one from Iherb.com for $8.24 New Zealand dollars and was very impressed with the results.

It comes in a plastic bottle with an air pump dispenser. At first glance I mistook the plastic bottle for a glass one, very chic and sleek packaging. There is 14 grams which is approximately half the amount of an average primer, but for the price it is still a great find.

After moisturizing my face, I like to use 2 pumps of primer to cover my face and neck. The formula is a clear thick gel form, it has a slight silicone scent, and glides on to the skin in a matter of seconds. It leaves a velvet smooth finish, settles into my fine lines and acts like a filler, the small pores are unnoticeable, which is fantastic for the next step which is applying my foundation. This primer works well with liquid and powder foundation, it makes a great base that lasts 8-10 hours depending on the weather and what I am doing.

I am shocked with the results, for the cheap price and how well it performs, I will be repurchasing this when I do my next Iherb order.

This just glides on after I moisturise and then I find it helps my foundation to go on my face more evenly. I got it online and I think it’s a must have for under $10! It does what it says it can do as it really does help to achieve a more flawless appearance in combination with your moisturiser and foundation.

I paid $8.99 for this product, my first whirl at primer. I could spare the $9for that and wasn’t expecting to be wowed. Admittedly my first use I used far too much and it was quite greasy and I wasn’t thrilled, next time I got a much smaller amount and applied, the more you work it in the better the finish I feel, my foundation looked great. I use a revlon liquid and the base this helps create is great.

If you’re after a primer that gives you a great canvas to work with then this is it. I use several primers as I find they all seem to sit differently on the skin. This is probably my favourite more affordable brand. I paid about $12 for this at Kmart and have not been disappointed. It’s comes in a lovely frosted heavy plastic pump that dispenses just the right amount of product. It glides on easily and preps the skin nicely. There is a Pore Filling one available but this tends to blur a little anyway. The only reason I’m not giving this 5 stars is because it doesn’t really extend the wear of my foundation by that much but I will definitely keep purchasing this product as for $12 it is great value for money.

I bought this quite recently as I have never used a primer and was pretty sceptical about even bothering as I wasn't even sure I understood the point. I felt like this was a good one to start with since it was very reasonably priced. When I tried using this it glided on so smoothly and I loved the way that it felt. Next I applied my foundation over top and I was amazed by the way that it smoothed effortlessly over my skin. There was no sliding into creases or wrinkles and I can confidently say that it looked better than my foundation on its own. I am officially a convert to using a primer! There are also other things that I love about this product. The bottle is simple yet quite beautiful. It also has a really easy to use and robust pump which helps only dispense a small amount, which is about all you need. I think overall it seems to help give me a nice glow and my skin looks amazing. I'm so glad I tried it. I would definitely recommend trying this if you haven't tried a primer or even if you have definitely give this one a go.

I absolutely fell in love with this elf primer. Its felt so smooth and silky on my skin. Actually made my makeup sit nice and natural on my face, and being sensitive had no irritation or side effects.

Well unfortunately I didn't get the hype with this product much to my disappointment. I found my make-up would pill using this and just didn't sit right.
