    This product feels nice and soft on my skin. The primer does not make my face feel oily, or look shiny. I do not find that it makes much of a difference to my makeup. I thought it would have helped my makeup stay on better and it did not. It might work for someone else but not something I would buy again.

    Overall I liked the feel of this product however I did find it does smell funny. If you can get pasts the smell it's worth it.

    This product is okay, but not fabulous and I stopped using it in favour of better products. My issue was that although it did smooth the skin's appearance and reduce the appearance of pores when in use, it tended to flake off and was not compatible with any concealer or powder I tried to use with it. After being left with a face full of flakey/gel-like clumps of this stuff coming off my face I gave up on it. I now use Urban Decay's Complexion Primer and it is really awesome, with no flakiness problem. I think Avon's product is just not of a good enough quality. I even tried to switch to their product that has a tint built in, but I gave up on that as well.

    I got this as part of a combo sale thing, and am glad that I didn't pay full price for this product. It isn't that I hated the product but, it isn't really worth the $14.99 and it sort of has a funny smell.

    This primer makes a lot of claims, but doesn't fully live up to them. It made my skin feel softer, and it did help with foundation application in my dry spots, so that is a benefit. I don't think that it did much to minimize the look of my pores, but it did help in stopping my foundation from making my pores look deeper.

    I liked that this product has spf (always a bonus) and that I could wear it under a light powder on lazy days and have an alright look, but overall I wouldn't recommend this unless it was on sale and you just wanted to try it.

    I had heard really great things about this product but I have to say I am not blown away. I really like the fact that it is SPF 20, and I also like the fact that it is a cream and not a gel (like the Smashbox primer).

    I did not notice a significant difference in the longevity of my make up when I wore this product. In fact, I found that applying certain products was easier with Magix as a base (cream based products such as cream blush or concealers) however the ability of these same products to stay put was diminished by the primer. I found that my cream blush all but disappeared throughout the day, whereas without the primer it lasts all day.

    Also some people have mentioned that their skin looked flawless when applying the primer alone but I did not find this at all. My skin looks more or less the same when I wear this primer alone (without any foundation). A minor complaint about using it alone is that my skin has a weird texture – I cannot really describe it except to say that it feels sort of like products that go from cream to powder feelings. Your skin feels soft, but it FEELS like you are wearing a product to make it so.

    I do enjoy using it however with some cream blush (for ease of application) with a little bronzer swept on top. I find that applying a little powder to set over the cream products does help them stay in place.

    Overall this is an adequate product but it is far from being an essential in my make-up routine and I doubt I will feel the NEED to replace it when my current bottle runs out.
