Bought this eyeshadow primer just before Christmas after seeing it mentioned in the beauty pages of Now magazine. It is my first Soap and Glory product: until I started reading blogs I never gave the brand a second glance as the busy packaging made me feel like I was going to burst into hives just looking at it. I'm over that nonsense now as I see so many bloggers raving about S&G!
I'd wanted a new eye primer but the full size UD Primer Potion feels pretty extravagant as I've always used the minis that came with palettes and although great - and cheap - the ELF one comes with the added expense of a whole ELF order that I can't resist. So for £8 I trotted off to Boots.
Unlike the ELF and UD offerings which simply mattify the lid and leave a natural colour, the S&G primer is available in Bright Light and Silver Lining; Bright Light leaves a pretty pearly finish (shown above) and Silver Lining a gunmetal grey metallic finish, suitable for stronger looks.
I like this primer as the finish means it can be worn alone if you are in a rush, but it isn't a garish shimmer that interferes with eyeshadows either and can be blocked with a matte eyeshadow. And as for durability, my eyeshadow stayed in place with no creases after a 10 hour shift in work! Definitely longer lasting than the ELF eye primer, and on a par with UDPP. I would recommend this as an excellent drugstore eye primer if you have oily lids like me.
