This was a primer I had to get my hands on after I swatched it in farmers and fell in love. It made my hand shimmery, glowy, and looking amazing. Then I watched a vlogger use this in a tutorial and that was the nail in my coffin, and I brought this product the next time I saw it.
The product actually has lovely packaging. It comes with a pearly white and gold colour theme, which I think looks nice and reflects the actual product which is something that makes sense to me. The packaging has a pump like feature which is used to dispense the product. It’s really effective, and means that not much product would be wasted at the bottom of the container.
This primer is a lovely texture. Its thin compared to other primers I’ve tried, but it doesn’t run anywhere. Plus it has almost a slightly creaminess to it which I like. It has a beautiful luminosity to it, with a shimmer component, and let me say it is shimmery but there are no chunks of glitter, so it gives your skin a nice glow, not a sparkly mess. Bonus.
This primer does give my skin a nice glow, and a dewy look. But in saying that, once foundation is applied you can hardly notice it, and then I find it’s not as long lasting as I would have hoped, and when I look in the mirror before lunch, I can hardly notice the dewiness that I saw in the morning. Not ideal.
Overall, the effects of this primer are short lasting, and honestly, I could probably recreate this formula by mixing some of my high beam into a primer that actually is long lasting to create a similar effect so I won’t be repurchasing this.
I bought this product about a year ago because I saw shaaanxo raving about it on her YouTube channel. I'm really into glowing skin so I thought it sounded great. The retail price here Is ridiculous and I would never pay that much for it. Luckily I was able to find it online for about half the price, still expensive though considering this is only a 20ml product.
Anyway, it comes in a sleek little tube and it has a convenient pump applicator which also keeps things hygienic as well.
The product itself is a white, slightly metallic looking, runny lotion. You only need a small amount to do your whole face which is good since it means the small amount of product in the tube It'll go a long way.
After rubbing this into my face, I can definitely see a glow and shine. I personally wouldn't use this product by itself but I have acne and redness to cover. If you had clear skin that was just a bit dull, I think this would look so good by itself.
I've been using this under my favorite Korean bb cream. It possibly helps my makeup stay longer but i barely notice a difference in glow when I'm not using this primer. I'd love to have a product that would erase the need for highlighter but this product doesn't do that for me. Maybe with a matte foundation but i have dry skin so i stay clear of anything that says matte as that usually translates to 'will search out and cling to any dry patches'.
Overall, this product is pretty average to me. I will continue to use my tube all up (I'm just over half done with it) but for how expensive it is, I wouldn't buy it again.
Tips: Make sure you shake the product first. Mine had been sitting for a while and had gone watery so I pumped it down the sink until it went thicker but then realized it would have just needed a Shakeup!
