WOW!

Okay, so I tried this over the weekend and I have to tell you- it really worked. I have oily skin & have a hard time keeping makeup on- it literally disappears by noon!!

But my makeup lasted ALL DAY in the heat & humidity!!! I was shocked when I went into the bathroom- I had to do a double take when I walked by the mirror b/c my makeup still looked freshly done!! I'M SOLD!!!

LOL...not a clue but hey - if it works it works! I swear by using preparation H under the eyes on older women who have dark saggy circles lol. it's a MIRACLE brightener & tightener!

lol so if monistat works, monistat it is

lol do you tell them its hemarroid (sp?) cream?

ive heard ppl doing that or using it on cellulite too. so funny.

my skin is so problematic that i hate trying new things bc i break out or it looks bad, so there will be no monistat on this face!!

lol - u are too funny. i have mega sensitivity & breakout issues w/my skin too so i have to be SO careful as to what i put on it! no tests for me either! lol..

Sylvie does it make you break out at all? I have REALLY sensitive skin so I use the Smashbox primer but the white one-Light. It works but is pricey. If this is kind to sensitive skin I am going to try it.

Well, I just started using it on Sunday but so far so good. When you put it on it dries to a matte silky finish- you don't feel it at all.

I'll let you know. This is only 6 bucks, so it's worth a try!

this sounds so weird.

i have oily skin and i love my rever-upper by B.E., but the primer (primetime) makes my oily skin worse!

LOL jess - NO PRIME TIME if ur skin is oily! instead, try the Oil Control & Pore Refiner by MD Formulations(it's off the MD Temps line)...i'm pretty sure u can order MD off the BE website since we've merged with them...but it's excellent! lol..NO PRIME TIME!!

LOL!

i havent used the primetime since you told me and its much much better!! i was just writing it here bc im so confused as to why this monistat product used as primer would be good for girls with oily skin if im oily and primetime primer is no good for me. what do you think it is?

FYI- Not sure what the main ingredient in the PRIME TIME is but here's the explanation for the Monistat:

Why It Works

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The secret ingredient in Monistat Chafing Relief Powder-Gel is dimethicone, which is found in all the high-end foundation/face primers. Dimethicone is a silicone emollient (a skin softener) that forms a silky, breathable barrier between the skin on your face and your foundation.
This dimethicone barrier has 3 benefits:

1> This barrier locks in your moisturizer under your make-up to keep your skin nourished.

2> The dimethicone barrier prevents oils from your skin from breaking through to your foundation. Since the oils can't get through, your skin never looks greasy or oily. No more blotting.

3> While dimethicone prevents oil from getting out, it also prevents your foundation from getting in. This means that your skin won't absorb your makeup so your makeup looks fresh all day, even on hot days. It holds makeup in place so well and for so many hours, many women report that they have stopped powdering their faces, giving their skin a more natural, youthful look.
