"Oh my god I HATE Liars"
or
"I cannot stand when people lie to me"
Oh really? Cuz I know like.. tons of people who LOVE lies. That's so weird that you dislike them. Seriously, people. I think we can all come to the conclusion without having to state aloud or via the internet that nobody is a fan of liars/being lied to.
Now, getting to my point... this same rule applies to companies. We (as in, the human race) - do not appreciate you lying to us about your products. Like your shine serums that make my hair feel the exact oppposite of what you promise. Or your eye primers that actually make my eyeshadow last for a SHORTER period of time than normal; totally defeating the purpose. I just don't think it's much to ask... buying a product & expecting it to do something even vaguely simialr to what it's packaging promises. Weird, I know.
So when I find a product that shockingly does what it's supposed to, and then some, I get excited. Infact - I get very excited. I get even more excited when the said product only costs $6.
e.l.f. you have come to the rescue YET AGAIN
with your studio line's face primer
When I first pumped it out, I was surprised that it was clear since the bottle looks white & the old face primer I used (Sephora's) was a milky white color. Sephora's also smelled like old lady perfume, and this one is unscented so that's another upgrade on my part. E.L.F.'s face primer is described to give you a satiny, oil free finish & it absolutely does that. The consistency at first felt oily to me, but once I started to smooth it in - I noticed that it made my skin feel matte & very soft. It creates a great base to apply liquid foundation and powder to. The fact that it's a gel & not a cream also makes me feel like it has a greater staying power & fills in lines better. My makeup has lasted visibly longer & I can honestly say I'll be replacing Sephora's primer with this. Sephora's perfumy smelling primer also made me feel like I was making my skin dry out by using it. Imagine applying a perfumed lotion to your face everyday.. seriously can't be that good for you.
But in conclusion, I'm thrilled that I decided to order this product. I'm not going to induct it into my "Still The One" hall-of-fame just yet, but... it's on the verge. Shit like that doesn't happen overnight, though. So patience is required. Either way - shout out to e.l.f. for not lying to me. Trust me, your honesty does not go unnoticed.
