    I got this as a sample in Mood Light. This is an expensive primer, so when I tried it the first time and I didn't notice anything spectacular, I was disappointed. But the next day I tried it again and actually saw that there was a soft, blurring glow under my foundation. I was sold on it then and there. I do plan on purchasing a full size of this soon.

    I received a sample of this with an order from Sephora.

    This product comes in three different colour correcting shades -- Dim Light (a darker beige), Luminous Light (a very pale skintone shade), and Mood Light (a pale pink). There's no mention of how each specific shade is supposed to correct which issue; the product only said that it's supposed to "blur, smooth and correct" skin as well as adding a glow.

    I received Mood Light, the pink shade. Although it appears pink in the packet and when you first squeeze it out onto your fingers, once you spread it onto your face, that tint disappears. Unfortunately, it didn't leave behind any sort of blurring, smoothing, correcting, or glow.

    What it did was settle into a laugh line around my mouth, causing my concealer and powder to do the same, and I couldn't smooth it away no matter how hard I tried. It made every bit of my face makeup go on cakey, emphasising every single dry patch I have on my face -- and some I wasn't aware that I had. And last but not least, it left me with some breakouts around my chin and jawline.

    Needless to say I was less than impressed. I didn't even finish the entire sample before tossing it in the trash. At a price of $52 for a full size, there's absolutely NO WAY I would consider buying this, nor would I ever recommend it to my friends. There are way better primers available at much cheaper prices.
