Really great primer for everyday use!
I received this product in exchange for my honest review. Smashbox is a makeup brand that I grew up loving, and I remember their primers being well-loved and talked about in the online beauty spaces.

Even my husband noticed a difference
Okay guys, I love the original smash box primer however, I just bought this one and OMG, I'm obsessed!!! Guys, even my husband noticed a difference in my makeup. I just did my makeup with the original primer after using their new one the past couple of days and he was like, "are you back to the old makeup?" Lol. Long story short, this is my new staple primer.

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] While I like the texture and how it applies smoothly. I don't really care for this. It pills on top of several of my moisturizers. And doesn't last as long for me in the heat. (Would probably like it better during the colder months with a light look). I can however tell a difference in my pores. This is good for the price.

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I trusted smash box to provide the perfect base for me on my wedding day, and I continue to do so now. The new photo finished. Poor vanishing primer is really that Girl. It leaves your skin, looking poor less, and make sure that your make up stays put throughout the day and night. It has a clear finish, so it won't affect the color of your foundation and won't change the color of your natural, skin tone.
Bring back the original
This new formula does not hide my pores whatsoever. I'm devestated because the previous formula was the best I had ever found, but I will be returning this one.

I was looking forward to sampling this primer because I really liked another Smashbox primer I had tried a while back. This primer is just okay. I feel like it doesn't smooth your skin enough and doesn't make much of a difference. I'll pass on this one because it just didn't work for me the way I would have liked it to.
