Found my HG primer that I didn't know I was looking for!

Andreatoo · ‎04-04-2014

In my Birchbox May sampler: Coola Daydream mineral primer.

Small tube with even less product inside but I did my usual routine, eye serum, face serum and mixed the primer with my Isomers bb cream.

I don't do foundation so when I completed my eyes/brows, put on a bit of highlighter, blush and some contour I reached for the finishing powder but Viola! I didn't need it??!! I had such a lovely matte finish; no shine whatsoever!

Got home later (still impressed) and was reading the box insert (cuz the tube is near impossible!) and I find out that not only is it a great primer....it's got sunscreen!

It's not cheap but since it's basically a twofer I don't think it's so bad $42.00. I still had a sephora gift card in my purse .....picked it up yesterday afternoon!

I stopped getting my Birchbox but had received several Coola products while I had a sub. I do remember getting a sunscreen and really liked it. I think I'll start my box back, now that I'm feeling a little better. I miss them very much.

@SnowOwl

Both Ipsy and Birchbox are pretty great this month!

Just got the Ipsy and there's 3 of the masks; not the cream or mud but the full face, holes cut out for the eyes, etc.! One's collagen, one's propolis and other is brightening. Also got a smashbox mascara and some Clark's botanicals Smoothing cream...

The Birchbox, amongs other things, had a vita liberata tanner in a white tube. This one works better than the brown tube I received in a QVC sampler last year..

I wish the selections were this good every month!

Wow! Those are great samples and I missed out this time. I love face masks. I think I'll sign back up. My daughter will love it if I do. She likes to "go shopping" at my house.

@Andreatoo okay I took the plunge! I have not found a single primer that has really done anything for me but I am trying one last time with this one because, if nothing else, I can use it up as an SPF. It gets really good reviews on Birchbox and I had some extra points and a coupon code so was able to get a good deal on it (plus the free mystery pack!). Thanks for the recommendation and I hope I like it as much as you!

BTW, are you still loving it?

This Coola Daydream mineral primer, is it fragrance free? When I saw the word "mineral", I got excited! I love mineral products and for the most part they do much better on my skin. I keep checking out primers. I have never worn one but want to. I am hesitant though as I have skin sensitivities, rosacea and can't do fragrance at all. But my skin could use a little something extra. Thanks!!

Yes I'm still liking it very much and I can't wait to hear what you think of it!

Like I stated originally I didn't even know it contained sunscreen, I was sampling primer. It behaves like a primer and sinks in immediately with NO GREASINESS whatsoever so the SPF came as quite a surprise!

It will be here tomorrow (Tuesday) so I will test drive it a few times this week before I post. I am going to try it under a powder foundation one day then a liquid foundation. It will be warm here so it will be a good test.
