Unfortunately, it breaks me out terribly.

Not every product works for me either. Example! Used to love Tarte makeup, Since the company has sold, No longer able use HG LCL mascara. Rainforest Pallet, Omy!! Horrible allergic reaction. Doctor prescribed antibiotic ointment and drops. Then skin on my lid flaked. So I do understand what you mean- Hit and miss.

I also love the Nivea post shave Balm.

I thought I struck gold when I discovered this, but my excitement was short lived.

Smashbox Photo Finish Primer was where I started with primers, loved it. Then I heard about Monistat and how it was very similar to the SB. Loved the Monistat! But it made me breakout so bad. Had to stop using it.

I've tried Smashbox and Monistat, and I like Smashbox better.

I had read about the Monistat here and I did try it. Broke me out as well. DH has some Nivea in his cabinet but have not tried it yet. I tried Olay's primer and it's just ok. When I have finished it I am on the hunt again for something else. I loved Avon's Magix so I may just go back to it.

Tried em all. Nothing comes close to my beloved Hourglass Miner Veil Primer. Expensive, so I definitely wish their was something else. The next best is Becca's Ever Matte. But nothing really can hold up to oily skin like mine. Lol

Smashbox Primer followed by Mally Face Defender! (Face Defender in the compact lasts Forever, hence it is a great bargain)

I wear Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Liquid Sunscreen. This was a total surprising "side-affect" of the product but it is the best primer for me nowadays and I get sun protection at the same time.

I was curious about the Smashbox primer mist and wondered if it was a gimmick. I bought it at ulta during the 21 days of beauty, so I got it for $17. I really like it. It leaves my face feeling a little tacky, and my liquid foundation really stay put. I mainly spray it on my T zone. I also bought the Mehron primer on CRC and it's just as good IMO and cheaper. It doesn't come in a spray bottle but I will just put it in my Smashbox spray bottle when I use it up. I have a few primers and need to use them before I buy anything else. I use my Smashbox spray if I'm going out and want my makeup to stay put for hours. I use the Nivea for other occasions. It's good, but the Smashbox works better for me.
