Last time I went to the store for my favorite lid primer (Urban Decay) they were out, so I gave this one a try. I really like other Smashbox products (particularly their face primer), so I figured I had reason to expect this would be a good one as well. Unfortunately, I found both ends to be WAY too hard to do their jobs well. To get the primer onto my lids I would have had to press on my lids much harder than is good for them! I transferred the product to a brush to get it onto my lids more gently, but even then it didn't work great. The same problem happened with the lip primer, and I found it to be too light for my light brown colored lipsticks, it showed through and took the color out of my lips.

I got this as part of the "Best of Stila Gift of Glamour" and probably never would have bought it on my own (because I've got too many lip products to use up as it is!). However, I'm SO glad that I got it because it's one of the best lip glosses I've tried, and I've tried a lot. For me, the difference is in the color -- it's not just a shine, it's got real color that really sticks to the lips -- and the texture, although it's a little thick to get on, once it's on the lips it feels great. Try this, seriously!

BareMinerals works very well for my fair, combination skin. I find that the key is to not use too much, if you do, it can highlight flaws. I've also found that if I really want to hide flaws I need to use a non-powder concealer underneath the BareMinerals foundation. And sometinmes, if I want a "dewey glow" I go with a liquid foundation and cheek stain rather than powders, but overall this is a great product and a good way for the makeup-averse to get started.
