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

[MagicMaid]

I'll have to go get a backup tube, then! I've been using this for a month - I don't use it every day, but I do love it, it feels so silky when it dries and I've never had a breakout from it. Fabulous cheap find!

I have been vacillating on getting the chafing gel since I already have a decent primer from Clarins but what the heck, it is cheap and it looks it is worth a shot. I can't wait to try it!

k.. got my monistat quite sometime ago and forgot to report back here...

I like it... really. I only use it on my eye area. It makes my e/s colors pop more and stops creasing too. No problems with clogging at the moment. One thing I noted tho', you really only need a very little bit. Too much and it gets really weird and cakey. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I'm curious about this! I wonder if a silicea gel from the HFS would do similiar..?

Hi everyone! I'm new here and saw this thread! Just wanted to say that I noticed in the Rite-Aid flyer for this week, there is a Buy 1 Get 1 Free sale on the Monistat Anti-Chafing Gel at $4.99! You buy 2 and get a rebate for $4.99 which you can apply for on the Rite-Aid website.

I went to Rite-Aid the other day and got 2 tubes. I've been using the gel for the past 2 weeks now. I only use it on my eyes/brows/forehead area. I use brow powder for my brows and find that using the gel prior to applying the powder helps it stay on longer and definitely cuts down on the extreme slick shine I have on my forehead! For years, I have been looking for a product that would help with the shine and now I have,...for cheap too!

I've been using it for awhile now and it works as good as any other gel primer

This stuff works very well, as good as Smashbox.

Never heard of this but... /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

It makes your face feel as smooth as a baby's behind!

Works GREAT!!!!

I forgot to update. I found it a while ago and it is AMAZING! I put it in my undereye area, too, so my concealer covers more.

 

[shygirl]

I tried it and it worked like a charm! My face was soft & my makeup applied so easily.

I've been reading about this for a while and finally bought some today. I can't wait to try it. I have super oily skin so hope it works. I'll let you all know my results!!

I got some smashbox primer on ebay the other day for just $20. BUT, I need it by this Friday, so I'm not too sure that the seller can ship it out to me that fast...we'll see.

I've looked for the monistat chafing gel and couldn't find it in a nearby drug store or store.

Where is the monistat chafing gel (and is it powder?...if so, does it look cakey?) sold at? To where I can go and pick it up.

Thanks girls!

 

[nikita2471]

You sure you checked the section where they sell the Monistat products? I also couldn't find it at Walmart the first time I looked but when I gave it a clsoer look, they were there.

Look at Walmart/Target/Kmart as they also carry it aside from the drugstores.

Walmart,

Walgreens

CVS

Rite Aid

yeah, I almost missed it when I was at walmart, but it was just hiding amidst the Feminine products.

I tried out some Smashbox Photofinish primer at sephora today, and it felt almost exactly the same as the Monistat gel. I tried the gel all over my face, but now I just use it on the upper half of my face. I don't like it at the bottom of my nose or around my mouth, cause it can be hard to clean off. Overall, I am not going to pay for the Smashbox Primer when I can get the Monistat gel for 6 dollars.

Okay ladies - I started using this last Friday and just LOVE how it makes my skin feel. It is so smooth and soft. Unfortunately it did not help my oily skin. I used it for the last time yesterday, as it also made me break out on my chin. I sure did like the texture of my skin though.

I have been using this for a while now and when I share with others who comment on my mu they tend to laugh at me and say I am crazy for putting "that stuff" on my face. I try to explain that it isn't the yeast stuff, but still the strange looks. That's okay though, less likely Target will be out of it when I need to buy more /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I used this and this worked for me. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I did get the Smashbox on time and it does feel alot like the Monistat chafing gel. I like the feel of them both. They're both light, not heavy or sticky, not drying and my foundation and bronzer looks and stays on alot longer!

two thumps up for both of them.
