Product reviews of Bare Escentuals bareVitamins Prime Time
Review: Prime Time
Beauty product: 1 Stars
Very unimpressed with this product.
First of all, the size of the product is unbelievable. The bottle is tiny! And the bottle claims that "less is more," yet this sinks into my skin so quickly that I end up having to use more. However, if this were some kind of miracle treatment, I'd be able to justify the $21+ shipping to myself.
I noticed virtually no difference after having had applied the product. My pores did not shrink, my dry skin did not smooth over much (I could've put water on the dry parts to achieve the same effect), and my face actually felt drier than it had before. However, my skin did feel "silkier"... superficially. It did not feel moisturized, just smoother. I wasn't impressed: I may as well spread a thin layer of baby powder over my face instead of spending this much money on such a product.
I have combination skin that is not very sensitive. And I suppose this just isn't the product for someone who has actual skin problems...although I could definitely see Prime Time working for someone who has imagined-imperfections and is trying to achieve the PERFECT face rather than the "hey, no one can see my acne today if I stand near shadows!" face.
Oh. And by the way, I just happened to notice (since I'm an ingredient scanner, and odd-sounding ingredients stick in my head), that the first ingredient listed for Prime Time (cyclopentasiloxane) is the same first ingredient in a hairspray that I own (which claims to protect hair from heat). I'd be guessing that this gel merely chemically shields the skin from outside products, rather than actually helping the skin. And, anyway, even if this is not the case, I personally wouldn't want to put hairspray on my face and walk around like that all day. Would you? Doesn't sound too healthy.
Review: Prime Time not for Oily Skin
Beauty product: 3 Stars
I got a sample of this with the Bare Minerals Face Kit. I'm glad I got it as a sample & didn't purchase it myself. I think it is okay, but isn't anything fabulous. My skin is combination oily & this primer just doesn't seem to hold up after a few hours of wear. A small amount is enough to cover the whole face, & it glides on like silk. Although, it doesn't do much to minimize my pores. After a few hours, I notice that my make-up runs a little bit & my skin starts to look very oily.
This may be a good primer for people with normal or dry skin, but definately not oily skin types.
Review: Prime is Perfect
Beauty product: 5 Stars
I have used several foundation "primers" from big brand name makeup companies and I always return to BE. My foundation stays put for hours, without caking. The Primer goes on easily and makes my skin feel silky smooth. It only takes a couple of pumps to do my entire face. This makes the product also kind to your purse.

I have been using this product for years and love it. It works with liquid as well as mineral products! Review: Red rash all over my face - what's IN this product?
Beauty product: 1 Stars
I don't normally have sensitive skin but 2 minutes after putting a tiny drop of this on my face I felt pins & needles pain all over my face ... and red, ugly bubbles are appearing all over my face ... very scary!
What is IN this product ... oh my GOSH .. can't be any NATURAL ingredients, that's for sure!
