Not worth it

Wasn't illuminating or hydrating enough to be worth the price.

Love it!

Hands down my favourite primer! Great grip for my product but doesn't feel sticky. I've even worn it without foundations over top for a bit of radiance. Definitely the best results I've had for my more mature skin (50+)

Radiant

This is a lovely radiant primer. I'm not entirely convinced it prolonges the wear of my makeup though. I prefer a dewy foundation look and I find that this primer helps achieve that appearance. No reaction on my dry and sensitive skin.

I add a lil every time I use it bc it’s so GOOD!

A Great product I love it so much! Has no smell to make it even better! It has bits of glitter in it and it’s perfect! I don’t like the fact that the bottle is bigger than the amount of product there is in the bottle but otherwise it’s great!

Good

It's good but I accidentally bought it thinking it was a different type of primer but still works wonders.

This is a good primer but it’s too sparkly/glittery for me as I have oily skin and this makes me look more oily.

cute

I do like this primer a lot. I am not someone who enjoys a "glowy" primer but I appreciate this one. It does not make you look overly shiny but it still adds a nice sheen to the skin.
