To be completely transparent with you; this is actually a great working product. It applies easily, it's smooth & actually does what it says, I appreciate that. My make-up actually lasted until the end of the day with this one, so I was slightly impressed I do admit.

I'll be honest here - I would give this product a 'yes' recommendation, if it weren't for one dirty little detail, the PEG-10 & PEG-15 ingredients. These are always an immediate no for me, when you can make brilliant products without harmful ingredients, why wouldn't you pot for that? So, I make that a personal choice, and I really hope others follow.

Besides that detail - it's expensive, $80.00 is a lot of money for a non-necessary make-up product, because if you ask me a primer is choice, you don't really need it, ignore the hype! Don't overcrowd your face if you don't need to.

That being said, this could really be a quality product if they take out the harmful ingredients and perhaps rethink their price point, no primer should be worth that much in my personal opinion.

I tried this product myself in a sample size from a beauty box I purchased to support domestic violence victims, it's no longer available, and I wouldn't recommend you using it or spending your money on it unless you can trial a sample size ad don't mind the PEG's.

End result: An all day prime, but not worth our money this time.
