Urban Decay Primer Potion

Ok,

So basically this little tube is one of my absolute holy grail products. I literally couldn't live without this as it changed for my life for the better when I started using it. Was that slightly over dramatic…?

If like me you have oily skin, and oily eyelids (which always sounds disgusting, but we gotta face the facts) you might also find that your skin EATS makeup. My eyes seem to absorb any product I put on them or it slides about across my face which is equally annoying and just does not last. 

Urban Decay Primer Potion makes my makeup…..stay. And I mean really stay. When I go out and end up falling asleep with my makeup on (which happens all too often, oops!) I wake up and it is is still in place. Eyeliner flick and all which I find really quite incredible. For people out there with drier skin, the fact your makeup stays on all night might seem pretty normal but if like me you struggle this is seriously a lifesaver.

It comes in this little fancy tube which may I also add lasts for ages. My tube has been going strong for over a year and I have only just repurchased another one. I use the original primer potion and it is a silky, creamy formula which glides on and then dries down to be slightly tacky and then basically unnoticeable. It does not affect the application of my makeup at all and does not make blending difficult as some primers can do. The original formula is meant to dry pretty much clear and you can't notice any colour once it goes on. The shade Eden is more like concealer, giving an even colour all over the lid, Greed apparently gives a golden shimmer and Sin has champagne tinted shimmer - I can't actually comment on how effective those shades are as I haven't used them but definitely would like to try them in the future. The new tube I bought claims to be "anti ageing" but I really don't know how effective that will be, and honestly only bought it as they had sold out of the original. It claims to make a difference to fine lines in just 8 weeks but as I don't actually have many fine lines yet it's probably being wasted on me. But you're never too young to start fighting the ageing process! 

I bought this tube for £17 and even though that sounds pretty expensive, as I said before it LASTS and WORKS so I really don't mind paying the money for it. 

I have heard really good things about the NARS primer which I am yet to try, but for now I'm not straying from my old favourite. If you are in the market for a really good primer this totally lives up to the hype!
