Pros
- has SPF and it's just not regular SPF, it's SPF 40 baby!
- non-drying
- For scent lovers: this has a hint of flowery scent
- thicker in consistency as compared to the previous primers P&J came out with
- skin felt moisturized all day
- cute simple packaging, easily to take along
- gives out a nice dewy glow
- for dry skin: I can use cream or powder foundation without the flakiness
- no heavy feel
- no silicon feel, felt just like regular sunscreen
- not the bad-ass oil controlling primer as you've expected
- for super oily skin: you may need to retouch
- I am not a fan of flowery smell for primers, so it's a no no for me, I'd rather have the citrus-y scent that P&J skincare has
- if you're into matte looking skin, this is not the one, this primer gives out a bit of glow
- does not fill in lines like other primers
This makes our makeup routine quicker. This acts both my Primer and Sun Screen. I love that I don't need to pile on products to get the result of 2! Again, I am just not a fan of fragrance/scents for my primers, I'd rather have them just a tiny bit, as the scent stays til half a day! or maybe it's just my nose?
Overall, this works well for dry-skinned, mature skin. I love that this primer is non silicon base and it makes my foundation application easier. I have tried this primer to my "oily" friends and so far, it still works good but not as great as the Smashbox Photo Finish Light.
Tips
- I prefer to use clean fingertip to apply all over the face
- making sure the product absorbs to the skin before you go to foundation application
- if you will be taking a lot of photos, try not to use this as this contains high SPF which makes your skin glowy on photos (or oily to some)
- a little definitely goes a long way, try using a small pea size first and increase as needed.
- do checkout sales every now and then
Yes, if they're on sale :)
Where to purchase and how much?
At P&J Rustan's, Makati for Php1,650 (approx $34.00)
A close up on the cute box
Size comparison with
Smashbox Photo Finish Light
Light Beigey Pink shade
L- no flash R- With flash
See the shine it gives on photo?
But this can be fixed with a pat of powder
I've used P&J Dual Powder Foundation
This isn't as expensive as compared to other primers available in the market as this is a 2-in-1 product. And 1 tube will last me months as I don't need to use too much. I know a lot of my dear friends have tried this and loved this. Share me your thoughts! :)
Keep smilin'
Stay happy!
