The Smashbox primer blocked my pores terribly, I won't bother again, very over-rated IMHO.

....One thing in particular has caught my eye though - a tip regarding smashbox primer. Apparently Lanacane anti chafing gel has almost the same ingredients list but is dead cheap and works the same as the smashbox primer...Anyone else actually tried this out yet and had good results with it? I've been on the lookout for some, but gather I might have to ask for it at a chemist.

I haven't tried it myself but I know that the Monistat version that they sell in the US gets great love all over the web and its the same as the Lanacane. Can't hurt to just try it. Think i might actually have a tube lying around here somewhere from the summer.

Having read through some long posts on the forum about makeup etc & wanting to try to save a bit of money, I've started purchasing some of the cheap brands to give them a trial.....see how I get on.

Looks like you can get a free sample of the Lanacane gel havent done it myself yet, so can't say how long it takes but worth trying.

Thanks, I signed up on the wekend for a free sample but have heard it takes ages to receive, & unfortunately I don't have the time available to wait for it due to upcoming relocation.......I'll ask at boots tonight I think
