I just picked some up from Walmart and wouldn't you know when I pulled it out of the display 5 other boxes fell on the floor. Right in front of this guy and his girlfriend. LOL!
The embarrassing part wasn't the product, it was that the boxes kept falling out when I tried to put it back and they were staring...
Kinda scared to try it...my face is doing well right now, after a little freak out a few weeks ago...

I saw it advertised on the TV this morning and screamed "YAY MORE FACE PRIMER!" needless to say my family looked at me like i was crazy! (which is partly true)

So i am going to hunt some down and give my verdict as soon as i find some! x

This gave me such a good giggle, it sounds like the kind of situation that I would find myself in! :p

Is primer the stuff that I hear about that you can add to eyeshadow and make it into an eye-liner type of thing? Silly question, but I think the makeup artist, Carmandy, on What Not To Wear talks about primer all the time, and not being a big makeup person, I have no idea!

I got mine at walmart. There were 3 boxes (2 of which were expired; don't know why I checked lol). I applied it in the morning just before I went in for a root canal and it stayed matte ALL DAY!! Even under the stress of getting my skull drilled at!

I bought a tube today, and convinced my BFF to buy one as well. She thought I was crazy at first, then decided to try it with me. I came home and told my husband about my wonderful discovery on tPF, and he asked me if I'll start growing pubes on my face if I use it regularly. I told him that I certainly hope not!!

Hey, welcome to the forum! :) I seriously need to get some of this miracle primer! I should not have bought that MAC prep+prime. I still have a lot left..

Got it on today...not sure I used enough...(how much do we use anyway?). So far, so good. I'm a little glowy, but nothing to be alarmed about and that could be my Px foundation (no minerals make up today).

I don't use the Monistat, but I do wear mineral make up and use primer. It works great, evens out the skin and also makes the mineral make up stay put. I use the Ulta Professional brand of primer and I've liked it so far- it was only about $12 dollars on sale too.

Thanks Elizat and Claire for verifing it will work under mineral make-up! I think I'm going to give it a try. It's so hot here right now and I've lived here for 4-5 years now and every summer I cant find a way to make my make-up look and feel right. Maybe this will help!!

4:58pm Final Face Check....

Ding Ding Ding - We have a WINNER. Not oily. Make up is still on. I could possibly use a blot on my nose, but I'm going with what I've got. I think tomorrow, I'll use a bit more in that area to see what happens.

As long as I don't find any odd pimples from this, I'm on the bandwagon.
