Product Review: Revlon PhotoReady Eye Primer

We all know how important it is to prime our eyes to achieve the best colour pay-off from our eyeshadow.  Personally, my favorite primer is Urban Decay Primer Potion (UDPP), but on a recent trip to Walgreen's, I noticed that they were selling a new Revlon primer. So, on a whim I purchased the primer for just under ten bucks.  I liked the packaging for this primer, I thought it was sleek, and it even has a little brush to make application easier. The primer does the job, and definitely brightens the eyeshadow and prevents it from creasing. I was surprised to see that you only get a measly .08 ounces of product. For me, I expect this primer will last maybe a month, MAYBE--and that is under the best of circumstances. You can get over FOUR times as much UDPP for about twenty bucks. Urban Decay is for sure a better product, and is even LESS expensive. Also, I noticed that it takes LESS UDPP to get the job done. I will be sticking with my Urban Decay from now on, but this DOES NOT mean that you shouldn't try the Revlon Eye Primer-- especially if you have never used primer before, and live in a city where UDPP is not readily available.
