I love the smell of their lipsticks/glosses & their eye shadows have the other drugstores beat. I'm always willing to try a new L'Oreal product because chances are I'll definitely like it.
I was flipping through the pages of a magazine (I'm guessing Glamour or Allure) and I found a sample packet of their new makeup primer. Can I just say, I love when companies do this!
Those little samples have talked me into so many makeup & skincare purchases over the years! They cater to people's need for instant gratification. They know that if you see something that looks like magic in a bottle, you're more likely to buy it if you can try it right away. Very strategic marketing in my opinion.
I put it on under my tinted moisturizer. At first I felt as though I looked really shiny, like futuristic shiny, and got a little freaked out. After I applied my tinted moisturizer it subsided and I could see what L'Oreal was trying to accomplish when they made this primer.
The packet came with only so much product that I used it all and I think that's why it didn't look so good at first. I recommend using a tiny bit just to add a dewy appearance. If you use too much, you'll look like a robot. Lol!
I wore it for a few hours and went out to see how it looked in daylight (yeah, I'm not too concerned with people thinking I look like a robot) and it was surprisingly natural. It gave a smooth appearance and I could see how it would be considered dewy.
Primers are usually made to be used under makeup but after my experience I'd definitely mix in a tiny drop of this with my tinted moisturizer.
Also, it suggests using it as a highlighter on areas of your choice. It's funny because after I had it on, I thought the same thing, "this would make a great highlighter."
I have been wanting to try the Magic LUMI Concealer which looks amazing. I like concealers that have a slight highlighter mixed in because it does double the work in 1 item.
This primer is great because it's a lot less expensive than your average highlighter.
It's priced reasonably at $12.95 and since it's proven to be a dual purpose item, I'd say it's worth it ;-)
Keep it Prettie!
