I need help picking a product from...

I even continuously fan myself and blot constantly just to keep up, but I always fail. I should have gotten a mini smashbox primer, but I didn't want to risk the possible chance of cystic acne [some ladies have reported that happening]!

Icky cystic acne. My friend has that and she HATES it.

Does primer really help that much? Cause I almost bought some smashbox photofinish primer stuff today and Sephora but then ran out of monnies... hm...

I loves primer Gina, my make-up stays much longer and looks nice and even!!! It seems to help with my icky problem skin, it does seem to stop pores getting so clogged n stuff... so kinda that opposite to causing any skins problems, for me anyway... but I use a Nars one.

Hmm... Nars is super expensive, but I may look into it. Hav you ever tried Smashbox's Photofinish stuff? I know that Leesha from Disco Dollies RAVES about it...

I really wanted to love the Smashbox primer... it made my foundation go on great and it held up great throughout the day. Unfortunantly after using it for about 3 days I got horrible cystic acne that took about a month to clear up. Sad

They do have a 'Light' version though, for people who are break-out prone, I've never tried it so idk. I'm kind of scared of primers now!

I'm thinking about stealing a sample of my mom's Philosophy one, it's not like she ever uses it anyway. I used it once and I loved the results, but I didn't wear it enough to know if my skin would freak out from it.

I got a sample of the light version of Smashbox primer and liked it... the one time I tried it. But then it was all gone. Sad

I thiiink I might get some -- it's not TOO expensive...

I got the cargo primer at Pretty Cosmetics today, AND I tested the Purse Glosses. Chicago isn't pink enough, so I'm getting Beijing [colour in the promo pictures]. I'll be testing the primer for the next two days to review for ya'll. The glosses are nice and smooth, and are true to the colour in their adorable tubes. Def worth buying. Beau couldn't justify spending $16 [add $2.16 for taxes] on a gloss, so he got the primer. Smile
