Hi Beauties Are you an eye shadow person? If yes, you NEED this This review is LONG overdue.I bought my primer set a few months ago from Rubybox for R399. There are 4 primers in the set and it is really worth it. There are four different colors for this eyeshadow primer- Original ( light beige); Greed (light yellowish shimmer gold); Sin (champagne shimmer) and Eden (light matte beige). On blending, the potion becomes invisible and disappears into the skin You have been warned that these primers literally grabs the eyeshadow onto the lids like a magnet so its best not to make mistakes :) Even really bad eyeshadows look extremely VIBRANT over these primers! This product eliminates oiliness from your eyelids and you only need a TINY bit for each eye. Colours and Uses: Greed, Sin and Eden can be used as eyeshadows or highlights. Greed: It's highly pigmented light shimmery yellow gold . Original: This is a very light beige Sin: shimmery champagne with pink undertones (My Fave) Eden: light matte beige Texture: very light and smooth and blends over your own eyelid easily.Its like a mousse liquid texture. Packaging: Its in these very cute potion genie like bottles with an applicator wand. While I haven't gotten to the point where I've used so much primer that I'm at the end of the bottle, I've read ALOT of internet outrage at product being stuck in the bottle and not being able to get at all of it. Some people were even cutting open the packaging to get to it, which is a little extreme but if you're on a budget, you'd want to get all the product for which you'd paid.even though the bottle looks cute,im not a fan because the product is then stuck in the bottle.I see Urban Decays packaging is now different (Tubeform) which is much better. Longevity: 10/10-yes i did the test of passing out with my makeup on lol i know its so wrong *beautyfail* but when i woke up,my eyes were still so PERFECT! Amazing!The shadows were still in place and NO creasing.I was seriously impressed. Cost: It is very pricey.I paid R400 for my set of primers from www.rubybox.co.za. Not all Urban Decay products are available in South Africa but Rubybox does have selected Urban Decay products which is quite nice :) They even had the Urban Decay Naked FAMOUS eyeshadow palette on their online store but it was sold out like...in a day!!!! Solution: When you THINK its finished: 1 bottle can last a very long time and when you think it is finished,you can still saviour whats left in the bottle and it is quite alot of product. Just pop it into the microwave for a few seconds Cut the bottle in half And scrape the product into a little container I honestly do not regret this buy,in fact ,its my favourite product because i love my smokey eyes and been creative with eye makeup.

If you have oily eyelids like me, you'll definitely love this primer because it helps your eyeshadow stay on longer and have a more vivid appearance. It has a creamy application but dries off matte and translucent. The doe-foot applicator makes application quite easy but I prefer to apply the primer with my finger to avoid the applicator getting discoloured with foundation/concealer from my eyelid.

Retails at R279.95

I love this so much!
Easy to use and it really makes a noticeable difference. I bought my Primer Potion from a Sephora overseas and I am enjoying every second of it.

Many people say that the price is too high, but this is technically a Lancome product (as Lance own Urban Decay). And when used in conjunction with the Naked palette it really comes into it's own.

This is really one of those products that makes you think "How did I apply eyeshadow before this?"
