Take it or leave it? Purple Lab Pearlesque Show Silicone Free Primer


As promised I’m back to share my thoughts on this Purple little beauty I discovered on eBay! Pearlesque Show Silicone Free Primer. It’s made by Purple Lab which unfortunately seem to no longer have a Website. But if you search eBay and Amazon you can definitely purchase this baby for less than $10. Apparently Purple Lab Products were sold on HSN for a while, this primer was listed at $38.00 back then, #Score! Okay so now on to the good stuff! 

The Review!


Product Claims: “Feel like a star with Pearlesque Show! This rich primer is velvety smooth with crushed pearls so your skin will steal the spotlight and have the youthful, dewy glow of a silver screen siren. Full of plumping peptides, kiwi, honey, aloe, grape seed extract, ginkgo biloba, and lavender. The formula is decadently deluxe and ultra hydrating. While it primes your skin it also offers coveted skincare benefits and antioxidants so your face will look firm, even and fresh and your makeup will last forever. Girls, get your bodyguards ready! “----I thought the last part was adorable Lol!                                                    


I've been using this primer for almost a week, knowing how picky my skin is I feel completely confident that my thoughts on it will remain the same. 

On day 1  I washed my face as usual, then I toned and  moisturized with Extra Virgin Olive Oil. As soon as I squeezed the tube, I automatically thought of the Laura Mercier Foundation primer…No silicony feel whatsoever--think white lotion Yay! A pea size amount was enough to cover my forehead, cheeks and chin. I left my nose alone since it’s *super* picky with products. This primer has a nice simple scent, reminds me of Oil of Olay lotion. It felt really nice on my skin absorbed it quickly. I spent the day out in the Florida heat, my skin gave me absolutely no isues….no irritation, no itching, and no break outs. When I returned home my T-Zone was in decent shape. It wasn’t matte, which the product doesn’t claim to provide, but it wasn’t an Oil Slick either. What I did notice was that my face felt a little too moisturized if that makes any sense Lol! I knew that the following day I would skip the Olive Oil, this Primer has so many amazing ingredients that using it on its own would be enough to moisturize my Combo skin. Day 2! I skipped the EVOO and I applied after toning. Same pea size amount, this time I used it on my nose too. My skin loves it!! You know the break out I mentioned in my previous post from The Hard Candy Sheer Envy Primer? It was pretty much gone on day 2! There’s something about this primer that soothes the skin and calms any irritation down. My makeup stays put all day, no creasing. It creates a great base to apply my foundation and best of all my face feels fresh all day! I have nothing negative to say about it, I absolutely love it! I’m ordering a couple of more tubes for myself and to keep in my Kit. The only way I use a product on a client is if my picky skin can handle it and this has definitely passed the test! #AngiesPickySkinApproved! 100% Take it! And if your skin is super sensitive to silicone take 2 or 3 tubes while you're at it Lol!
