   Wow! Very happy with this eye makeup primer. It intensified the colours and made my eyeshadow last for hours. This is the first primer I have used for the eyes so I can't really compare it to other brands, but I am starting to wonder how I ever lived without it!
   
   Also I live in Australia and both times I have ordered from Lime Crime the orders have gotten here safely in about 2 weeks, so international people, don't be afraid of ordering!

   Best primer i have ever tried so far, i find it better than the all known ones.
   
   In hot or cold my eye makeup stayed in place whole day, it is seriously water resistant, it pops up the colors so nicely and intense.
   
   Im speechless, this is the best primer ever!
   Thanks for creating this amazing products that is also friendly with animals :D

   As always, I'm trying to be fair and square with the products I use and compare the positive with the negative. I'm telling what worked for me and what didn't so the ones that have the energy to read( I risk write very long reviews) my reviews have some use of the reviews. And I try not to mention things that have already been mentioned in other reviews
   
   This is a very good eyeshadow/eyelid primer. It is true to what it says applied good and even and worn a whole day it is very hard to remove. I think that some of the ingredients in the product cause it to become even more long lasting since it melts down into the lid. The reason I think that is because I tested to remove the primer shortly after I applied makeup, and then it was easy to remove. But after 14 hours I needed to use both my ordinary make up remover and my water proof to combine their powers to remove it without drying out my skin.
   
   The water test was useless I thought because most people either use an umbrella or a hat to prevent the rain getting in face and on hair. But regardless I tried it and used my shower head to imitate an intense rain storm(it was cold water, I tell you!). And even if the primer and the eyeshadow closest to it stayed most of the make up washed away and ran like dark tears down my face. Not water proof in my eyes!
   I also noticed during this that the eyeprimer actually blends with the eyeshadow, especially it is it a loose power shadow and takes a shade very close to the eyeshadow.
   
   And this primer does crease before 24 hours. It may not crease in hot, humid weather but it does crease when countered with dry and cold weather it does crease after 5 hours at worse. Not very much at the beginning but you start to see creases and after 10 hours you might need touch up your makeup a little.
   
   And also when I got my little box with primer(supercute little box I tell you! I saved it :3) I opened the primer only find it very, very “dry” and stiff. It felt like putting ones finger on a very smooth rock. It had also cracked through the edges(the primer not the container). I solved the problem by putting the turquoise container in my micro for 3 seconds. It warmed up the primer and I could smooth it out and fix the cracked edge. After that I left it in my fridge for an half hour to “seal” it up with cold.
   But before I figured out how to deal with my “rock” I tried the product as it was and then it was bad since it stuck and tugged at my skin on the eyelids. It also creased up weirdly after around 6 hours and wasn't water proof. I don't know why it was like that but as I explained earlier I fixed it and now it is the most used product on my make up table apart from my eye shadows.
   So watch out a little for rock-like primers they are no were near that it should be(but it can be fixed).
   
   But to sum it up. This is a product those abilities have been a bit exaggerated but it is still a very good product. It holds up for a long time, it gives your eyeshadow an extra boost in colour and it get a bit more stable actually so you don't have to touch up your make up at lunch but after work before you go to the pub. I highly recommend it because of those abilities and as I said before I use this almost every day or at least a day when I need my make up to hold up for at least 8 hours.
   It comes with a supercute little box and it does feels good that this very good primer is made without the cost of some animals comfort and lives.
   
   LIME CRIME SAYS:
   
   Jessica, it sounds like you may have received a defective product. Our primer is supposed to be creamy and smooth, not like a rock. Please contact emma@limecrimemakeup.com so she may exchange it for you. Thanks for the review!
