^ whoops! I'm curious as to what he would say too which is exactly why I'd trust his opinion when I see him. I've have to remove myself from this conversation as I usually do once lilli begins to make her personal dislike for me known to the world. Alma I love sharing products I enjoy or don't enjoy, I don't think telling someone that their like for a product which you've never even tried (the word you being used in a general context) is invalid is fair though. At first really all I did was answer your question (aka WHY the rave) so is that wrong? Beautylish has changed so much unfortunately and I don't even feel comfortable stating opinions that differ from the more popular names in here until now which was apparently for good reason as I've noticed (I always watch the threads but never comment) as soon as one popular member gets disagreed with all the others know to jump in. Really wish beautylish was a community as it used to be and not some peoples opinions being values more than others

This is unfortunate sadly and shouldn't be a debate. I thought this thread was good and open for all pros &cons without debate and show awareness of all corners of the product which I think was leaning towards that. All thread's are a open book to all knowledge whether we agree or not that's what's awesome about these forums we can just chat about it no big deal. This isn't a battle of who's right or wrong it's just a simple conversation for all to think about. I have to mention in the thread archives Brittany you also have extended comment's of information you've shared in this community of your thought's on product's and this is nothing different from those.So can we please just carry on with respect and laughter and jus give feed back. I'm curious to know what your derm would say Brittany honestly so that could be something to share.
My daughter has eczema & Psoriasis and I know the struggle and I'm sure many here in the community do too, so please do share as soon as you can. Kitty Thank you for sharing your insight as well,this gives a interesting view of your results and gives us something to think about. Jackie that was also informative and gives a good aspect of what we should look for in product's which we all tend to not to compare. Hope you all have a care free beautiful day :)

Brittany in order for someone to talk to someone with respect weather its in here or in life in general they have to give it and you frankly just don't show respect I've seen you do it to me and many others, and to your little comment about liking a product only to get a million reasons why it sucks all I have to say is a person should be able to disagree with a product and not have people say a million things raving on how good the product is just to shove it down someones throat just to try to be right, have a good day Brittany

I'm not throwing a tantrum girl no need for the condescending tone, I don't think in all my years on here I've ever seen you speak to me in a respectful manner, I'm a child girl. I am not claiming its unique or magical, no one was. My Laura Mercier primer used to make me confident in my skin and I CANT afford to be repurchasing it as some of us aren't that lucky. I don't see why anyone should have to state they like a product only to get a million reason why it "sucks" or "isn't worth raving about" from people who haven't tried it. I've been here a LONG time, and It's sad that it's now a little "knowledge monopoly" where discussion and respectful argument/debate is encouraged until someone disagrees with the big names on here and then is no longer reasonable or being honest. I sit down and take a look at my skin every week, with my dermatologist to try and combat my many skin problems and dehydration. Sorry it didn't work for you kitty, but I'll be bringing it in to my dermatologist before pro longed view as I do with everything new because we have an agreement. Beautylish isn't what it used to be, thanks for your information and contribution to the thread, of course all information is taken into account before someone buys a product and it's good to have the good the bad and the ugly. Just wish people didn't feel the need to tell someone they were wrong for liking a product.

If you really think this products is giving your foundation a flawless finish then you need to truly sit back down and address your skin. If something this cheap is transforming anyones skin, the issue is that the skin care you are using is lacking quality. You don't need to spend $300 to get quality skin care or get facials every other week, all it takes is a bit of knowledge on ingredients and you can easily find something in your budget.
My pores have not been 'blurred' or 'smoothed' or anything to that effect and my skin is quite a far cry from being moisturized.
The corners of my mouth have a slight stinging sensation that was not there today.
That being said Brittany, I highly doubt this will do anything for your skin if you suffer from eczema.
The first thing I noticed when I opened the container was the strong fragrance.. I applied this and I smelled like I was smothered in men's cologne the whole day and ended up suffering from it.
Now, fragrance is listed last however it also contains Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride. I understand it's labeled 'lightly fragrance' but there's a minimal amount of ingredients along with the fact that it's labeled for Sensitive skin which is misleading at this point.
Fragrance both synthetic and natural is quite harmful to skin.
Fragrance causes skin sensitivity issues and allergic reactions.
Now, understand that your skin doesn't need to show any signs of inflammation or redness to be irritated as it goes more skin deep than that.
Fragrance on your skin (especially an area as delicate as your face) breaks down collagen which in terms can tamper with the skins ability to fight environmental damage, as well as interrupt the skins ability to heal.
I don't think I'll be using this again. It didn't work for me and my skin looked funny the whole day.

With all due respect Brittany I think its funny that your trying to push this balm by saying it gives you confidence when you say it works just like your other primers at a lower cost so your saying the other primers that did the same thing didn't give you confidence but all of sudden this balm that according to you does the same thing is so unbelievable that it gives you confidence, but its the same thing. If you like it and works for you then good for you, this thread just like any other is ment for discussion, but throwing a tantrum won't get you nothing, everyone has there oppinion and is more then welcome to share and if you don't like discussions then what can i say have a good day

Brittany anytime! Though I'm appreciative of you ladies breaking down the products and explaining them, this stuff still feels amazing on my skin and I love it. The fact that I could shed some light on a product to make you feel more confident wearing makeup, Brittany- makes my day.
You're awesome too! xo

Yes I am aware, not trying to make a mountain of a mole hill simply stating that something doesn't have to be unique to be great and that's the beauty of it. Thanks for the thread Mariah as I was apprehensive to buying this and I found something that raised my confidence 😍 you're awesome girl

Strange how I've never seen it. I just feel bad for anyone when they make a thread and then people attempt to essentially tell them why their new favorite product is nothing special. I guess you can't really disagree with those two on here though, so I won't waste my time. I never understood adding jojoba to foundation either, I think even the best foundation or primer cannot fix skin that isn't properly taken care of, ESPECIALLY dry skin. As for the Balm, I've been wearing it all day, and I've really been enjoying it. If you have dry skin I definitely think it's worth a try. People post about products all the time and I don't know why it's suddenly a requirement for a product to be groundbreaking and blow everything out of the water to be valid. The flawless finish its giving my skin and the fact that you can't see the eczema on my cheeks is EXTREMELY comparable to my $38 dollar primer... For $10 bucks... If you can find me better for cheaper by all means do so, I love saving money! But the fact that this is comparable to a high end primer not just in moisture or holding power but with its blurring effect is more than enough reason for it to merit a threat without question

Interesting you say that Brittany, Jacqueline and Alma break down products all the time to inform members of what they are using and what better options there are..
I do think the balm is interesting, I am curious to try it out since there seems to be so many claims to flawless finishes but then again everyone was going on this huge rave with the idea of adding Jojoba oil to foundation for a 'flawless' finish which I never understood either since you could achieve that by investing time and money in quality skin care.. So I'm wondering if it's just another trend like contouring, strobing, over lined lips, pale nude lips, etc.
I'll be picking this up on my next run inside Walgreens (which I'm actually outside of) and trying it out to see if it does anything different than my moisturizer.

No I see where Mariah is coming from, I can't remember the last time anyone else dissected a product on a rave thread about a product just to tell them it's not worth the hype.. Not sure why this one has been selectively chosen. Everyone raves about products that are hardly unique without being questioned. I don't think it's even once been referred to as ground breaking nor different, simply a "hey dry skinned folks, this is a great primer and super cheap!!" I have tried it with my MUFE HD foundation about an hour and a half ago, and I can't speak for longevity yet, but what I can say is that the flawless finish and blurring effect it seems to give my pores and patches is beyond comparable to the Laura Mercier hydrating primer which I loved but never had the heart (or wallet) to repurchase. Super excited about this Mariah so thanks for this thread 😊❤️

^^^^ wow long post lmao. But like I said lmao, works for me and for others and that's why so many people have been loving it. People get excited over inexpensive things that do the same thing if not better than expensive things. For example:
I started using the "L'Or " primer by Guerlain which is $80CAD... when I used the aftershave balm, the feel on my skin was WAY too similar to pass up. Not to mention I bought the aftershave for $10CAD.
I also think my pores have been loving it, because I haven't been using any pore minimizing primers and just this primer keeps me poreless (or less than usual) and very matte. I was annoyed with it because of everyone talking about it, until I tried it. But it's great, and just let us be excited lmao its not going to kill anyone haha

I just purchased it girl 😍 I'll use it in the morning. So hard to find a GOOD primer that doesn't accentuate my dry patches

I read everything pretty lightly all the time but thought I should ask because like you said many here on BL seem to think you have a certain presence on how you Reply on thread's so I figured I would give you the floor to express it.If you say it's not snide then it's not that's cleared up, which is good.Really my thing is to talk about this balm and the story around it and like most I'm trying to understand it. I'm at ease with no tension on my part just conversing on the thread and trying to gauge the contributers on this thread for legitimate feed back. Mariah would you consider it as a base or a primer when using it? What makes it any different from all products that have the same ingredient?

Anything that does THIS amazingly at holding my makeup in place and is as cheap as it is, is a win in my books. Since the discovery of this in the "beauty world", I've raided my boyfriends after-shave products and nothing that I've found yet has had glycerin in it. I don't want any tension on this post lol
I'm raving about it, because it's awesome :)
Feb 11, 2016
Brittany F.
Haha well it's not, I can't really change who I am. I read it in a completely different tone than you do apparently so try reading it in a less snide tone? Haha I don't know, texting is hard. I don't really think people are simply hyped because it's a product with glycerin and what not, it's the fact that it performs (for many, I haven't tried it yet) like you would expect a high end primer to without the price tag. From reviews is does seem to have all the perks of a primer NOT just making things stay in place as glycerin would. I don't think anyone's unreasonably hyped, I'm personally excited because it's so hard to find all around good primers for my dry skin which this seems to be

I've been using the nivea aftershave balm for a few months now under my makeup.. and my makeup does look incredible and stays on longer and fresher esp around my T zone.

I think it's the delivery on how you type it, when you said it's not like everyone is going "Omg it has glycerin!! Raid the shelves!!" Which can be interpreted as a snide comment and that is why I asked so I have a clearer understanding of the content of your character. I agree a lot of product's are hyped and it is exciting to find many uses from one thing but I can't seem to grasps the hype on the Nivea men's balm thing. Is it because it's a man's product maybe but Nivea also has a balm for woman so I guess this will be something I'll personally have to digg into and compare the two.

It's not snide lol, somehow everyone around here seems to read my replies like that and get offended but it's just how I speak and have no idea how to Change it 😂😂 lots of products have hype around them while having cheaper alternatives, it's exciting to find products that work well especially somewhere so unexpected which I personally think is where most of the hype derives from
Feb 11, 2016
Alma M.
I'm not sure how to take your comment Brittany it seems snide but if it's not please feel free to let me know. I'm just a tad confused about the hype and have valid reason why I'm a bit confused by it. As for price it's about the same as any other lower cost product and glycerin in some stores are actually cheaper. As far as I've seen it is all about the glycerin from everyone's tube, review, blog, vlog,insta and so on. That is why I questioned it. Now does this mean you can't buy it? well no of course not, I'm just merely having a beauty conversation and giving my true thought's about it.
Feb 11, 2016
Brittany F.
I'm assuming it's because it's cheap... But it's supposed to be a very good primer! It's not like everyone is going "omg it has glycerin!! Raid the shelves!!" But people are having great experiences with it keeping foundation on forever and providing a flawless finish. Nothing wrong with finding multiple uses for one product, especially since men's hygiene products are usually so much cheaper than targeted women's cosmetics because they know women will pay the big bucks.
