Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion Review

This stuff is unbelievable!!! It is magic in a bottle and I love it!  I have super oily lids and have had a very difficult time with eye shadow staying put without creasing.  I tried everything - concealer, cream shadows (as base), drugstore and highend lines that claimed their products would prevent creasing.....I even tried corn starch.  Yes, corn starch.  Nothing worked. Then one day Urban Decay came up with this product. I tried it because I figured I had nothing to lose at this point and if this didnt work, then I'd just have to forego eyeshadow permanently. What a pleasant surprise.  This stuff worked like a charm.  I put it on using a thin layer on my lids, let it dry, applied my shadow and voila!!!  I checked my eyes at the end of my work day and I still had on perfect shadow.  I was so amazed and excited.  Urban Decay Primer Potion is truly magic.  I worship this stuff and use it every single day!  I feel confident when I put on my eye makeup because I know that it is going to look just as good after a long day at work as it did when I put it on that morning.

My only complaint about this product concerns the design of the bottle that it comes in.  The shaping of the bottom and sides of the container make it quite difficult to get to all of the product that is inside.  When it appears that all the product has been used, I usually take the rubber tip out of the top of the bottle.  This enable me to get to the product on the side.  This way, I am able to get tons more uses out of this before throwing it out.  The bottom of the bottle is spread a bit wide and if you were to cut it off after supposedly using all the product inside, you would see that there is still tons more left in the bottom.  With the applicator that comes with Primer Potion, it is impossible to get to the product that is 'hiding' in this bottle.  I think this is wasteful and Urban Decay should come up with another, more practical design in order to alleviate this wasteful problem.

Nonetheless, this is a wonderful product that I am sure I will use continuously in my life.  Nothing else keeps my shadow on my eyes.  I just hope and pray that Urban Decay will spend time and money on the research of a better bottle design.
