I picked up this primer in the AVA color as part of a set with the Illumanizer. I really like it so far. I need to use a light hand with it. Too much and it'll start to roll up, but it goes on very smoothly. It's thicker than some of the other primers (like Smashbox) - more of a mousse than a liquid-gel. It evens out my skin tone and glides over my little wrinkles. I haven't worn foundation since ...read morei started using it. It's that nice! It even does reasonably well at controlling shine. Nothing can help my nose, but the rest of my face maintains well.
The packaging is very nice. It looks good and feels solid. The one weird thing - it needs to be primed/"uncorked" when you first us it. There's a little hole in the bottom of the can and you need to push something (I used a paperclip) into it so you can push on the bottom of the canister while you pump until product comes out. Kind weird...but after that it dispenses nicely.
It is a little pricey to me, so I don't know whether I'll re-buy it. I do like what it does with my skin, so I'll just keep my eyes open for sales!
