This is one of the products from ELF that I am very much intrigued. This is my first time to use a liquid primer I usually use cream based ones. I got this from ebay and I kept on wondering if I will purchase the 3$ one or the 1$ primer. I chose the mineral primer instead because of the good reviews here in blogosphere, youtube and even in makeupalley. I have never tried using Urban Decay Primer Potion and I will probably won't give it a chance since the primers that I have tried which cost a fraction of a price are really good. I have seen a review of this primer compared with UDPP and they are almost at par. (ALMOST) I initially wanted the Etude House Proof 10 Primer but it is always out of stock! Sigh!!
This primer has a life span of only 6 months as indicated on the tube. I just dab a small amount of primer on my lid and it instantly creates a smooth and even base for my makeup. I used this on my graduation and my eye makeup stayed on for the whole affair till dinner (almost 9 hours). It comes in one shade which is in "Sheer."

I find the doe foot applicator very easy to use. | | |

Packaging: 10/10 I like the sponge tip applicator for precise application of the primer and I experience no spillage.
Texture: 10/10 This is very easy to blend and dries into an almost matte finish.
Long Lasting Effect: 10/10 My eyeshadows do not crease at all. ( Or is it just because of my dry lids??) My eyeshadows lasted upto 9 hours. Indeed, my eyeshadow lasted longer without fading whatsoever.
Price: 10/10 I got this for 235 pesos only on ebay! Only 3$ which costs less than the infamous UDPP!
I love this product so much and I will definitely repurchase! Why buy the high end e/s primer if this product works just the same right?

This blends easily on my lid and gives that brightening effect too. The texture is very light, sheer and silky. |
|
I will be showing you a comparison of my LA Colors eyeshadow quad with and without primer. |
|
Left: without primer Right: with primer
See how it made my eyeshadows look more vibrant and fuller.
It made my eyeshadows really pop!!
Another plus point : NO PARABENS!!!
I recommend this primer to all of my readers. This is definitely a must try and a must have.
