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

[evette]

are you all talking about the chaffing relief powder gel by monistat?

 

[newyorlatin]

That's the one. Anti chaffing gel.

Whenever I wear this I never have to touch up even with powder all day at work. It keeps everything perfect. But I agree with pre-mixing it in the tube before applying because sometimes it seems to separate and make kind of oiliness on the face but if I do the pre-mixing with the lid on no problem at all. I hope my English made sense to understand for all.

I use Caudalie's serum under my regular moisterizer every morning. I wonder if using a primer after that would be over kill because I would add in liquid foundation too.

If you think this is weird than you prob would not use prep H for puffiness arond the eyes---but that works amazing too!!!!

It took two months for me to receive my sample. If you buy it straight out open the box first and there's a two dollar off coupon inside.

As for the mental scarring, use your current mood to dull the pain, :rotfl:

This is just what I need and thanks for the sample link and the coupon in the box info.

since you guys say this stuff is like Smashbox it must totally be off the chain. and I can afford it too.

I'm going to get some this weekend. thanks for this info.

I bought some this weekend, and I love it so far. I have never tried a primer before so I can't compare it to anything. I ended up paying 2.99 after my coupon. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

After using it a few days, I'm wondering if it dried my makeup/face out??

I tried this because of this forum suggested it, and I love it! I never tried the real primer stuff, so I guess I don't know what I'm missing, but this does help with my mineral makeup in minimizing my pores.

Also for the ones who think this is for "down there", it's not. This is an anti chaffing gel. People use it wherever they tend to chafe a lot. Such as under the breast or wherever things tend to rub a lot and get red. I don't even think you are supposed to use it "down there".

I forgot to add to the ones who are embarrased(sp?), do you buy tampons or pads? I think it's about the same. I checked out with no problem, and if anyone did snicker or anything, I would make them wonder even more by telling them it's for my face!

 

[hushabye]

i just bought this. I hope i like it. I have a smashbox primer lying around somewhere that i used only once anyway.

 

[anjanasadil]

i just bought a tube of the monistat anti chafing today as well. i'm excited to try it out tommorow....i hope it works well, i just cant bring myself up to pay so much for smashbox!!!

CVS sells a house brand dupe, the ingredients are the same:

CVS Online Pharmacy Store

Thanks!! I'm going to CVS today for a BOGO on Revlon so i'm going to grab a few of these. I do have the monistat brand but am almost out. I have tried Smashbox and Monistat I have to say I can't tell a difference. Can't wait to get to CVS now!!! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[MindySue]

lol!

 

[fishchick72]

Ok, I sent for a free sample too! I have not seen this in stores......not sure where to find it if I like it.......

And I've never tried a makeup primer before, so I have nothing to compare it to.....I hope it doesn't feel heavy & thick on my face.

 

[nursie]

well if you go looking for it, i found it in CVS drugstore in the section with the condoms and 'personal lubricants'

 

[BeneBaby]

I've tried it and it clogged my pores. It does have some of the same ingredients as standard primers though. The worst part was explaining to my BF why I had "chafing gel" in my makeup case......

 

[sadiesparkle]

Ick! I don't think I could get over it to put it on my face but I'm glad those of you who are brave enough like it!!

Kudos to you brave ladies *salutes*

I have a motto - I only use beauty products on my face.

Your taking a big risk of messing up your skin when you use products that weren't made to be used on your face.

 

[clwkerric]

I've heard it works... so does Phillips Milk & Magnesium. (So I've heard) Haven't tried it yet.
