Smashbox Foundation Primer
Question:
Any fans of the product, here? I've used up one bottle already and am currently contemplating on another - in a nutshell, I think it makes my skin feel fabulously soft and buttery after application, but doesn't have much long-term weight. My skin for the most part is fairly healthy, so it only tones up my complexion a little without working miracles. But it does so much blend beautifully with my foundation.
The thing is, I got the primer for about $30 USD... and it's $45 CAD, NOT including the massive 14.5% tax you have to add in Vancouver. Advice would be great. Really, it's not expensive, but I wonder at times if it's worth it for a product I like but often find somewhat useless.

Answer:
My favourite primer ever!!!!
I have used Laura Mericer and Nars before but Smashbox beats them all.
Can I ask how much are you using?
One pump should be enough for your face. I know it feels lovely but you don't need alot really.
Which one do you use?
The new SPF15 or the normal one?
OK I actually buy mine on Ebay, or if QVC have a TSV or kit with it included even better.
The Lorac one is sort of similar but more water based, not sure of the price of it?

Answer:
Ooh, I usually use 2-3 pumps for my face... but then again, I have a really big face with huge cheeks! One pump only covers my cheeks... and then I have yet to do my forehead/nose/chin. Or is that being too wasteful?
I used... the old one, I think? But since you seconded my good opinion of the product, perhaps I *will* go and grab myself a bottle. The QVC/TSV/kids sound like a good idea too, so I'll check those out!

Answer:
WOW unless your face is twice normal size one pump.
How thickly are you applying?
Should only be very thin layer and mainly on the T Zone.
I do one pump rub my fingers together and just wipe over my face.

Answer:
Yeah, you only need a little bit. Rub it between your fingers and gently pat on over your entire face.
I LOOOOVE Smashbox primer. I got 2 samples from Sephora, and now i'm dying to get a full bottle. They also have a tinted bronzer primer, and I think I might have to get that. It feels fabulously luxe on your skin.

Answer:
Not THAT thickly... but I'll be more careful with my next bottle for sure. Thanks for the advice!
It's a really great product, isn't it? The bronze primer sounds intruiging, too - particularly for summer~!
