A little bit covers all my imperfections and my makeup glides on smoothly and stays put for hours until I take it off! While I do find it pricey to buy a full-size (and so much is wasted with that pump bottle) I wait until there's free shipping (which is almost always), and on a Tuesday or Thursday from 12EST-5EST I order an item with the Let's Do Lunch special (a free full-sized product of the day with any purchase) and get a 1/4 sized sample of the primer during checkout. That tube definitely lasts a few weeks, so in the end I'm getting a few extra products and the equivalent of a full sized primer for the equivalent price! Definitely easier on the wallet! I love this company - cruelty free and donate a portion of their proceeds to legitimate charities - and I can't live without this primer!...

However stupid I thought the controller was in theory, in reality it's turned out well! Overall, this is an awesome gaming system... everyone from the three-year-old to the grandparents has fun playing it. I also love that I can play my Gamecube games on it. I have had to send the system in for repairs (busted disc reader). However, it's provided lots of fun for the money invested. Would definitely stand in line for one again if I had to!...
