Hope you all had a great start to the new year! 2012 is going to be either one of the best years of my life or one of the worst. (Let's pray for a good year!)
Since my last e.l.f. haul (POST), I've been using the Mineral Infused Face Primer. I've heard pretty good things about it, and at it's Christmas sale price, how could I resist? :) Believe it or not, this is the first face primer I've ever used. (I'm quite stingy.)
e.l.f. says:
Transform your face into a flawless and smooth canvas with the Mineral Infused Face Primer. Developed to combat against excess oil, flaky dryness, enlarged pores and fine lines. This clear multipurpose skin primer will prepare your skin so makeup goes on evenly for a long lasting satin finish.

It only sounds like it could be a miracle, right?
(Sorry for the poop lighting. Weather is dark today!)
My current BB cream (Missha Perfect Cover) lasts for about 5 - 6 hours before it begins to really wear away. I wanted something that could prolong its disappearance!
Let's talk packaging. The packaging is very sleek and luxe. There is a cap to protect the very convenient and hygienic pump which makes this a great product to travel with. The brand name is right in the center. Overall, it just looks very appealing to the eye!
It takes about 2 pumps to cover my entire face. With this primer, I only need to pump twice on clean fingers and then I spread it out evenly across my face. Do I notice a difference in my skin right then and there? Not really. My face is slightly wet from the primer so I want around 30 seconds. From there, it becomes very matte and my skin feels rather smooth. It feels great! :D
So after applying my BB cream, I really noticed how much easier it was to apply with or without a brush! The BB cream blends out much better than before. The big pores on my nose, usually accentuated by BB cream, were pretty much muted with the primer underneath! Best of all? The BB cream extended it's life to 8 - 10 hours!!! :D~~
Overall, I'm really satisfied with this primer. I don't even know if there are primers that give even better results! This one at full price is $6! It's currently out of stock on e.l.f.'s website, but if you wait it out, this is definitely a product worth trying. At its cheap price, there's no harm! :)
Overall Rating: 5/5
Price: 1/5
Would Buy Again? Yes! :D
As I mentioned before, my Missha Perfect Cover is almost out! Do you lovelies have any suggestions for BB creams that have similar medium-heavy coverage? :)
