Recognize this? Or maybe you've heard of it?

Smashbox Primer: Photo Finish

Okay.. you are probably thinking I am crazy... but I have been researching this for over a week to see if it was legit before I posted anything about it! Smashbox Photo Finish Primer - Supposedly the best primer ever to be made (Retailing at $40) has the exact same ingredients as Monistat Chafing Gell... (Retailing at about $7)

By using the chafing cream as a primer, you are going to get this glamorous streak free, completely sealed, beautiful, photo ready look! 

At a price that seriously can't be beat!

This is ground breaking!!

No matter what primer you are buying right now- STOP!

And if you are not even using a primer- START!

Primer helps the makeup better coat your skin without being too harsh on your direct skin. It almost creates a protective layer. And this layer also helps those oils stay inside nourishing the skin rather than melting away makeup and creating yucky lines. Most primer's on the market today retail for at least $30 or more! So you can imagine my excitement to find out that there is a product retailed for under $10 with the same ingredients as some of the most well known brand names!

The chafing cream goes on super light an airy! Plus- a little goes a long way! It will last 10x's longer than a department store product for a fraction of the cost! The powdery finish also keeps it from feeling packed on or heavy.

I read an article about the product and viewers are telling writers to use Cetaphil moisturizing cream with the chafing gel (almost like creating a "cocktail" face potion). 

Mix the two in your hands and use your fingers to apply. The warmth from your *clean* hands will make a little go a long way and really create good coverage.

Then apply normally with your foundation. I think it is always best to use a foundation brush to get the cleanest lines and flawless finish. Plus the oil from your fingers does not always mesh well with the oils in your makeup.  Some readers even said to mix some of your foundation in with the "cocktail" to almost create a tinted moisturizer for days you are just working or running errands. Then save your separate foundation step for nights when you're going out on the town and need a heavier look or have more blemishes to cover up.

I think this is the greatest thing I have ever read! So I had to share! Enjoy!
