Hello, Lovelies!

I just received my new Too Faced Shadow Insurance, and when I popped it open to use this morning--it stinks!

Is this normal?

You mean that it smells? What does it smell like?

Jasmine,

Yes, it smells bad. I wish I could describe it. Let's see, there is liquid that comes out first, then product--and it stinks like chemicals, I guess? I just didn't know if it should be like that?

Sometimes with new primers that liquid is there as a preservative to the product. If it really is bad, you should definitely return it and get a new one.

Jasmine,

Thank you so much, I was just iffy because I don't remember this from the previous ones I have had.

yeah, i'm not super fond of how tfsi smells, but i can only smell it when i have just applied it and it's still on my fingers. 

The first time I used TFSI I was also turned off by the smell and the fact that it seemed like I would always get some clear oil each time I squeezed the tube. I was about to return it but since I had heard such great things about I decided to stick with it. Now I just shake the tube a bit before using it and it seems to work.

For the oil problem, all you have to do is shake the tube and then give it a good "massage" before you use it. For the smell, it shouldn't smell like anything at all actually. Take the product back and exchange it for another one.

Thanks, everyone!

That seems odd. I would definitely take it back and get a new one.
