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

[Chaela]

I haven't tried this yet but I think someone in an earlier post (way back lol) said that the mineral makeup sort of slid off, I guess. I suppose you'd just have to see with your specific brand though. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

$6.59 at Walmart, darn, I paid $8 something at RiteAid. That being said, it works really well for me! Thanks!!

I used it today & yesterday. Yesterday I think I put too much on cuz I felt oily all day. Today tho, I used alot less-- just enough to smooth my skin & its not that oily at all and I always need powder & lunch time. I'm still gonna use powder at lunch cuz Its not that matte but my makeup looks good.. alot better than it usually does at this time. So im gonna keep usin it.. glad its so cheap!

Oh and this stuff is waaaay better than any milk of magnesia. That was horrible, thick & sticky and made my face feel soooo heavy. So if anyone wondered about that... Why would anyone use MoM?? aaah lol bad stuff

Thanks for the reply...I prob. won't try it then!

This thread make me laugh. All 11 pages. I don't even find it odd because I belong to some hair boards and they use the actual yeast product on their scalps to promote hair growth. :laughing:

Of course that's not what this thread is about, it's about the chaffing product so I might give it a try. Thanks for the tip. (from last year.)

Okay....I'm going to give in finally and try this after I use up my current stuff. I'm always up for a bargain and if it really does work as good as Smashbox for 1/4 of the price I'd be stupid not to at least try it!!

Ok so i finally bought it at Wal-Mart today! I paid $8.99 CND. I can't believe someone on this board found it at the dollar store!!! Anyways, before i use it, i was wondering what everyones rountine is? Do you put your face cream on then this or skip it? Just this and then foundation/powder? Do you just rub it in like face cream? I use MAC satinfinish foundation.....is that okay? Let me know, i can't wait to try this & i'll give you my review!

I have tried this as a foundation primer. It was a little thick going on and seemed to make dry spots on my face worse. But all around, it was okay. I will use it if I don't have anything else at the time.

 

[HOTasFCUK]

Oh my! I love it! I'm so glad to have discovered this! Thanks everyone!!!

 

[kittykupkake]

I got mine about a month ago after reading this thread and i love it! I'll never buy anything else, honestly!!

 

[sleepyspan]

I was wondering if anyone in the UK is reading this thread?

We don't seem to have Monistat here but I have found a similar product; Lanacane Anti-chafing gel, it's about £5.99.

The ingredients are Cyclopentosiloxane, Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Zea Mays (Corn) Starch

so I am wondering if I should try this? The ingredients look similar to Monistat.

Anyway I have ordered a free sample from their website so I shall wait and see, but if anyone has tried this one please let me know!

I just found this site while searching for this very topic. I read somewhere that you can use the gel for a primer so I decided to grab some while at a Hannaford grocery store today. (it was $4.00) Before trying it, I wanted to make sure that this was the product I had heard about, lol. I tried some on the back of my hand and it felt so smooth, I applied it to both of my hands and love how soft and smooth my hands feel. Looks like I will be using it as a primer and a hand cream. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Who knows..maybe some day I will chafe somewhere too!

It feels exactly like Smashbox Photo Finish, only one fifth of the price.

For all you Canadian gals (and gents), London Drugs is having a sale on this stuff for $6.99. Use the coupon inside the box and save another $1. Hope this helps!

 

[Kathy]

Well...I just tried it this morning for the first time and I must admit I'm surprised! It really does seem to work just as well, if not better, than Smashbox and it's a hell of a lot cheaper!! I've been converted!!

 

[nicdalish]

sounds interesting. I'd be nervous. I like to use things made for my face only. A weird phobia I guess.

I've been using it now for several months and have to say I love it! I use Simply Delicate for about the same price as the Monistat and no weird looks from my husband because it's not, well, Monistat which sorta has a stigma.

Actually, he's suggested that if it's so good, why not just dip your whole body in it and have a smooth, baby-powder finish that doesn't rust. Of course he said this while in the garage doing body-work on the car. I just gave him "The Look" and walked back inside.

I also use this in the nether regions and up under my breasts. Used to get really awful rashes under my ladies but now don't get any at all. It's been a little tube of Miracle, for sure.

Now I have to try the Simply Delicate wipes made for the Southern Cross area as a make-up remover. Can't stand liquid make-up removers and find it terribly inconvenient to have tons of cotton balls holding court in my bathroom, lurking under everything and anything on my counters waiting for a sneak attack. Some lady pulled one of the rascals off my jacket the other day at work.

Really, you gotta try the anti-chafing gel.

 

[JadoreDior]

where did you buy it?? I thought we didn't have it in Canada.

I SO want to try this, I have tried MAC and Smashbox's primers but they don't work!

 

[La_Mari]

You can probably find them at most drugstores. It's usually with the condoms and monistat/yeast infection cream.

 

[JadoreDior]

i bought it yesterday and used it today.. its good but i already have the mac matifyer and its the exact same thing/effect
