I was given a sample packet of Benefit That Gal primer. I tried it on a whim but reluctantly since I didn't want to add something else to my skin care regimen. Immediately when I applied it I liked the velvety feel. I then applied my foundation and forgot about it. Well sometime later I looked at myself in the mirror, now I live in Arizona where your makeup melts off due to the extreme heat, and I was pleasantly surprised by what I saw. My makeup was intact! I also noticed the softness it gave to my makeup foundation. Very nice product and I bought myself a full size bottle!
