L'OREAL Studio Secrets Professional Primer


So.........yesterday i was at Target picking up some laundry detergent...and thought...hmmm....i will head over to the make-up...i am almost out of foundation...and, want to try something new. i like what i have been using...but, not sure it will be good for summer.  ANYWAY.....i stumbled on this new primer by L'Oreal.  I like some L'Oreal products...so, thought I'd give it a try. 

Cost:  $10.99 at my Target here in smallish town Missouri

Here's what L'Oreal says...

Discover the secret to perfect skin texture. Introducing Studio Secrets™ Professional Magic Perfecting Base for instant smoothing results. Get the perfect skin texture, instantly and all day. The silky, lightweight formula glides onto skin and minimizes the look of pores and fine lines. Skin looks and feels smoothed and resurfaced. The result—a unified matte finish that’s flawless.
Suitable for all skin types. Dermatologist tested. Non-comedogenic.

Science Behind the Beauty

Studio Secrets™ Professional Magic Perfecting Base boasts a high elastomer content, which gives the primer its unique, cushiony texture. The unique, creamy formula smoothes on easily to disguise fine lines, wrinkles and pores, while a combination of soft, light powders gives skin a matte look and silky finish. The formula is 100% oil- and fragrance-free, non-comedogenic and non-acnegenic. Dermatologist tested.



Here's what I say...

I put it on last night before heading out for the evening.  It was pretty smooth. Not cakey feeling.  Kind of has a thick lotion appearance and feel, but it goes on easily.  I am a big believer in primers...so, I've tried a few.  This one seems like it's going to be awesome!  It definitely worked last night. I will try it for a few more days to make sure...but, I think this is a keeper. I will do a follow up later...but, I am definitely not taking it back immediately. YAY!
 
Cons:  I am not sure it is going to last too long...meaning, I think it will need to be replaced often. hmmm....
i don't love that, but it's part of the deal.

I also bought "a new to me" foundation to try.  I think I like it. I need to try it out a little more before I say.  It was also at Target.  I have been wanting to find a "cheaper" every day foundation...so, we'll see.  Last time I tried a foundation by this company - even though I liked it...my face started having more break outs...that is a definite NO Likey.

Anyway - give the primer a whirl and let me know what you think.
