I usually love smashbox, but was disappointed with this product. As one of the commenters below stated, I purchased the purple one - weird feeling/finish, slightly oily which made my eye liner smear oddly - just - not a great product. I stopped using this VERY quickly and will never repurchase. There are far better primers out there. Save yo' money! -
This is a fairly pricey product, but for what it does, I feel it is amazing value. I am not a stickler for high-end products - my go to face routine is ponds cold cream, cetaphil gentle skin cleanser, st ives collogen moisturizer and vichy under-eye... +
This is a fairly pricey product, but for what it does, I feel it is amazing value. I am not a stickler for high-end products - my go to face routine is ponds cold cream, cetaphil gentle skin cleanser, st ives collogen moisturizer and vichy under-eye serum. This product has just been added to my roster! Like the commenter below stated - it makes my skin feel like pure, fresh, clean silk - perfect for making my foundation apply smoothly. I don't even use a primer anymore! Highly recommended. If curious - go to your nearest retailer and ask for a free sample before taking the $95 plunge! -
Best perfume EVAR. I know it can smell sickenly sweet and young upon first application - let it dry and walk around for at least 5 minutes and then take a second whiff. AH-MA-ZING. I am sure your particular chemical balance changes how perfumes... +
Best perfume EVAR. I know it can smell sickenly sweet and young upon first application - let it dry and walk around for at least 5 minutes and then take a second whiff. AH-MA-ZING. I am sure your particular chemical balance changes how perfumes smell on you - but on myself, it comes off as a light, musky, sweet smell. Almost sophisticated in a bright, fun way.
It is now my signature scent - I wear it everyday, and the price cannot be beat! My next purchase will be the lotion and hair perfume as it is now a part of my identity lol.
I used to work on a remote mine, with closed circuit air, very small working quarters - one of my old coworkers still frequently contacts me and says he misses my smell. It just makes people fall in love with your presence! mm mmm good.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this foundation. I use a brush to apply and a beauty blender to rub into my skin. There can be a tendency to OVER apply which will result in a slightly cakey/dew-y/discoloured effect. However, once you are used to the product, it is holy grail magic. I used to use mineralize wet foundation and mineralize skin finish - this one product combines both! goes on moist (which is great for my dry skin) - yet dries into a powder-y finish. I always spray fix on afterwards and dab it around with a kabuki brush in order to ensure the cake-effect is non-existent. I will always purchase this again as long as it is around. -
I bought this mascara to plump up my paltry lashes - it does a good job in performing what it says. It has the tendency to clump, but I have got into the habit of very lightly wiping off the excess product of the wand (do this with all my mascaras)... +

HOWEVER, I was highly disappointed. I am a MAC girl through and through - but this is the only product to make my less-than-sensitive eyes water like the audience at Shindler's List. Red, itchy, cracked around my eyes (hideous week that was). Not recommended, unfortunately :( I will stick to my zoom lash or mineralize mascara.
