Beauty Product Reviews

Great Product-- Horrible design for sample/travel sizes-- Buy full product

In the world of beauty and fashion today, brands need to continually consider the consumer's perspective and incorporate this viewpoint into their overall look. That means focusing on every detail from the cosmetics' chemistry to the packing of the product. While VDL delivers a fabulous product, they completely missed the mark in terms of functionality in their travel size. The glass bottles that the product came may be aesthetically pleasing, but the narrow opening and the consistency of the product made it impossible to get the primer out of the bottle. Another review compared getting this product out to trying to get ketchup out of a bottle, and I died laughing because it was so true. As someone who likes to have a concentrated amount of primer with each pump and also wants to use every last drop of a product, even if that means cutting off the top of a bottle-- this primer was not for me.

It is a shame that the product packaging took away from the actual product because VDL's Lumilayer Primer is fantastic. It was flawless underneath my Dior foundation and delivered in creating a "glass-skin" and overfall polished effect. Moreover, at $32 a bottle, it is currently much cheaper than my current primer. If this is a product you are interested in using, then buy the full size, which has a pump attached to it.
