My Experience
This is my new HG primer. My MUFE HD primer had crossed its expiry date so I was looking for a new primer. I had heard about this primer during my Makeup Classes days. Later I confirmed it with Nupur and she also mentioned that I should totally go for this.
It comes in a little red glass jar. A small spatula is provided with the product to scoop out the product. The primer is in light beige pink color and has a thick cream like texture. It spreads easily and makes your skin super duper uber smooth. It not only helps foundation go easily and smoothly on skin, it totally reduces the appearance of pores. And for someone like me , who does not have larger pores to deal with, it makes my skin look almost pore-less. 😀 It helps makeup looking fresh all day long. It never broke me out. But this contains silicone in it so this may not be the best primer skin care wise. Those who are sensitive to silicone based products, please avoid this one. This may break you out.
A little goes a long way and the tiny pot would last you quite long.
I personally love it. This would work on most skin types and those who are looking for a pore minimizing primer, definitely give this a shot.
Here is the picture of before and after using the primer. I don’t know if you can make out but if you notice in the 2nd picture, the lines on my wrist are looking smoother.

Car prices going up from 1st jan!! 😐 😥
you were plannin to buy a car?
kimi, kahan se suna tune yeh ? u knw around year end pe car co. s ki market mei yeh news filaa deti hain k cars agle saale costly ho jaaungi, coz unhe apne yr end targets meet karne hote hain O:) O:) O:)
haan logic ek dum right hai. :yes: :yes: :yes: :yes:
O:) O:) O:) O:)
ekdum sahi nupurrrrrrrrrrrri beti, these car companies do that every year towards the end, yeh toh union budget pe hi decide hoga ki if the prices will rise or fall, year end par sab stratergy hai O:) ….yeh every year end par hota hai…..shabaash tum markets par bhi dyaaan deti hon :specs: :specs: :specs: :specs: :specs: :specs:
waise normally year end to march hota hai companies ke liye O:)
jomol, the thing is ppl avoid to tak cars in december, coz 1 month se hi model year pe farak pd jaata hai.. so thy postpone thr car purchase, n therby november-december mei car sales bhot kamm ho jaati hai . If u have noticed, companies offer max. discount in december
O:) O:) O:) O:) O:)
Nupur..that 3% that I am talking about is additional to whatever price hike (that may or may not happen) is going to take place…
nahi ..this time its not a rumour….They are increasing price coz of rupee dollar drop thing..
Arey baba..I know about the anuual rumour thing..but this time its not a rumour..they have already published in their sales forecast report too..about this…

Hi Rati, how are you doing? Do you think this would be a good primer for oily skin? :)) :)) :))
i have been good sabrina. how are you doing. wouldnt recommend it to someone with as oily skin as yours. Good for combination skin types. 🙂
OK then I think I should avoid this one. I am fine thanks, just still trying to finish all that has to be done before Christmas. I had emailed you few days back, you read? :))
my inbox got full a few days back . I think you must have sent it during that time only. i did not get your mail. :(( Plus I lots my phone. :((

OMG, then how do I contact you, want to speak to you, oh gosh :waaa: :waaa: :waaa: :waaa: :waaa: :waaa:

I have very oily skin….dont we have lil sasta alternative for oily skin ?:)
try inglot one.
Look at the consistency! :woot: :woot: It looks like an edible mousse! :drool: :silly: Can we use a primer without applying any foundation later? :idk:
ummm not that i have ever done that. i apply loose poder fir sure if not liquid foundation.
This looks lovely! I wish it were less expensive.
it’s nice. 🙂
I never felt like I need a primer as I m just a moisturizer compact gal but this smoothening effect of skin u mentioned Rati is sthng not to ignore
yeah, it makes skin totally smooth. :))
This looks nice and promising. Thanks for the review Rati. Sent you a mail yesterday..
yeah it is. 🙂
:snicker: :snicker: :snicker: I bet you liked it just cos they gave a spatula with it… :tongue: :tongue: :tongue: :tongue: :tongue: :tongue: you must have been like haaaaan I like this clean clean primer 😀 😀 😀 What is that other tube wala one for then? That’s not primer..now me confused..I should go read that review!
