After reading this thread, I just could'nt wait to check it out! hey girls, it works wonderful, just like DHC velvet coat, even better. The stuff is not even for the genital area, its for in the summertime when wearing dresses, shorts, etc make thighs rubbing together painful for some. You can bet when I sweat in my 100 in the shade state, I will be using it thigh wise as well. Great stuff!!!!

I looked for this at both CVS and Walgreens and couldn't find it. All I found are the ones for yeast infection. Should it be in the same section, or is it somewhere else?

 

[internetchick]

Same section. I have seen it at the grocery store too.

 

[angellove]

it's great!

I have a funny story. One day at work this older lady (like over 80) said I had the prettiest skin. I was like aww... thank you. I was wearing the primer that day and it really did help my makeup look a little more even and matte, but not too matte. Cause I hate that. I like using it, but I don't want to run out cause I don't want to repurchase yet! I should though.

other than dimethicone does anyone here knows what are the other ingredients? its says dimethicone only in the packaging

 

[renbray]

cyclopentasiloxane, dimethicone, dimethicone/vinyl dimethicone crosspolymer, cilica, tocopheryl acetate, trisiloxane.

i just got mine yesterday and i have yet to use it! i'm scared! lol.

 

[lienny]

do I put this on after or before moiturizing?

 

[La_Mari]

After moisturizing, before your makeup.

has anyone tried generic brands of this? like riteaid brand/cvs brand? does it work just as well?

i bought some monistat brand, and now my tube is almost out. i still have someleft, but i noticed that when i use it, it just doesnt work like it used to. think its because my utbe is old or something?

 

[internetchick]

I haven't, but I have been wondering about trying it. The tube of Monistat I bought came with a $2 off coupon, so next time I need a tube I will buy it again. That will make it cheaper than the store brand.

Is it possible you didn't close the cap all the way? I have had my tube for a few weeks and it still works well, but maybe you have had yours longer.

 

[poshbrushes]

I dont know if i could talk myself into buying that lol but i guess if it works u cant knock it /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

yeah i've had mine for a good while! today i went to CVS and bought their brand today. when i first opened it, liquid came out.. and it was reallly greasy, like it had separated or something.. nasty! but i just kinda squeezed the tube to see if i could mix it back up. it did, but it seems like the CVS brand doesnt squeeze out of the tube and look quite as powdery. but, i applied it to my hand and it felt just like the monistat brand. i'm gonna try it out under my new MAC mineralize satinfinish foundation tomorrow, so we'll see how it goes. =]

I have read this on another makeup board also and supposedly the silicones in it are the same as that of Smashbox's Photofinish primer. I myself haven't tried it b/c I'm acne prone to silicones. but alot of lovely ladies love it!

 

[internetchick]

That's too bad citre. I wonder if Rite Aid and Walgreens brands would have the same problem.

 

[neonbright]

I haven't tried the off brand ones, but the Monistat Gel is the truth. Love, love, love this product. With my oily T zone this is the best.

 

[Thugluvgrl187]

Wow this is interesting. But hey if it works I am not knocking it!

 

[wickedbutterfly]

So.....I tried this stuff today under my mineral makeup and I have to admit, it's freaking great. My skin is super oily and my forehead didn't get oil slicked until late afternoon. Normally I'm oily well before lunch.

I wonder, since its clear-ish, if you could mix in a tiny bit of color correcting concealer to try to emulate the color correcting smashbox primers?
