Monistat Anti-Chafing Gel as a Foundation Primer...

[dentaldee]

ok........I've been using Lise Watier primer(Canadian brand) for sometime now and I was in the US recently so I picked up some monistat gel stuff b/c of all the buzz.........well I've been using it for 4 weeks now........I have concluded that I do not like it..........my face gets greasy in no time and my m/u does not stay put worth a damn....now I have been using this with my mineral m/u .......so I may switch back to my regular foundation and give it another try..........but so far I'm not impressed!!

Bought this last week. Love it. Gave a sample to a friend. She loves it. I'm sold, but still laughing about putting a Monistat product on my face!

i agree, i like it for regular foundation , but i use mmu also and i dont think it works well with it

 

[KristieTX]

I am so mad! The Monistat has started breaking me out. :scared: I really love this product other than that.

I really like it !!! It works better than any other primer I have used. My makeup stays on until I wash it off at nite. And Yes I use it around my eyes.

I've been using this for about a month now and it works great!

 

[Tina Marie]

I'm trying it ladies! your reviews sound great!

I tried this recently as a primer. At first I was impressed because the texture felt like the smashbox primer. But as soon as I put it on my face, I regretted it. Since it is not made for facial use, it is very thick and oily. And, unlike other primers, it did NOT hold the makeup on my face all day. So I do not recommend this as a primer, IMHO.

Thx for the review /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I've been putting off buying this since the day this thread was started (looong time ago /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />) I've been so tempted to try it out due to every1's rave , but since i wear MMu ...and it didn't work w/your MMu .... i think i can safely take it off my lemming list .. lol .. .thx dentaldee

I use this after shaving my bikini area to prevent razor rash and bumps. Its really to prevent moisture rashes. I do like it under the bust area also in the summer *blush*...i currently am using the laura gellar spackle primer but i will try it this as a primer on my face too...

just remember this isnt for the vaginal area even tho its from monistat /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I wear MMU and wear this and it worked well for me. My super oily skin doesn't shine anymore and my makeup doesn't fall off. I showed this to a lady at work and she tried it and loved it. Her face would get VERY shiny after only an hour or two at work. Now, she's not shiny at all!

It's thick, but I didn't think it was oily at all. I use a lot on the apples of my cheeks since I have large pores. It really helps them minimize it. I put it on after I moisturize and let it dry about 5-10 minutes before applying my MMU. Tocopheryl acetate is vitamin E and that might be what's causing some folks to break out. When added to skin care and cosmetic products, this vitamin can clog pores and irritate some skin types. I'm amazed, but it hasn't clogged my pores and my pre-rosacea skin seems calmer throughout the day.

I am so excited, I bought some today just because I have heard such great things!!! I am on my first month of accutane and my pores are huge looking, I certainly hope this works.

Cindy let us know how you like it /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> . And yes unfortanetly Accutane will make your pores look big /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> It did that with me.

 

[AngelaGM]

[TylerD]

Ya no kidding. And why has Canada not got this stuff yet???? Seriously its been like 2 months now, man we suck!!

 

[dentaldee]

[CindyLouWhoo]

OMG, It works so great! This stuff really seems to smooth the pores and acne scars, give it a try, what have you got to loose?

 

[janetsbreeze]

Why did I have to read this thread AFTER I bought the $42 smashbox primer?? Argg. Oh well.

This seems like a good idea though!
