THE INSPECTION:

I did not like this primer.  It has the consistency of lotion and it really didn't work for me.  The color of this is white and it has a bit of shimmer to it, but that disappears when you put your foundation on.  It is very thin and I did not find any of the claims to be true.  In fact, it broke my skin out a little.  I looked at the ingredients after and noticed it has mineral oil in it.  That's not good. There is only one shade, so I'm confused as to why they have "shade 684" on the front of the tube. Should of looked at the ingredients before I bought it.  Hated it!!

HARD CANDY SHEER ENVY PRIMER

• Moisturizing
• Gives a healthy glowing complexion
• SPF 15
• $8.00 (Walmart) 

THE CLAIMS:

Sheer Envy Primer helps to even out the skin while reducing shine.  Improves foundation application while minimizing skin imperfections.  Make-up lasts longer and skin is left velvety smooth.

THE INSPECTION: 

This is one of my favorite primers.  It comes out white but then disappears once you blend it in your skin.  It feels like silk and your skin looks smooth and a little matte.  It even seems to smooth out fine lines and pores.  You only need a small amount and allow about 5 minutes for it to sink in before you apply foundation.  Also, shake the bottle before you put it on as it can get a little runny.  I really like the price and I love the way if feels on my face and how my makeup stays on.
