Bare Escentuals Prime Time vs Smashbox Photo Finish Primer

Evening all,

I was just looking through ebay to get my next lot of BE and saw they're doing a primer called Prime Time. Has anyone ever used this, and is it any good?

I've been thinking about buying some Smashbox primer for a while (the light one, for oily skin) and now I've seen the BE one I'm not sure which one to go for. Sadly the BE one isn't on QVC so I can't try and send back if not good.

Basically, any input would be much appreciated!

i tried smashbox and wasnt too impressed tbh.

however if you are looking for a cheap alternative lanacane anti-chaff gel is exactly the same ingredients wise and retails at about £5

i have tested the ysl one with a brush on the end and that seems great if pricey

I use the Smashbox Primer- The light one. For me its not so much oil but shine. I really love the smashbo primer light.
Ive noticed a huge difference especially in photographs no shine on forehead anymore and in the day less shiny/ oily. Im sure this varies from person to person however I would recommend as im happy with it and i am going to get a new one soon.
I use about 3 squirts a day and ive had this bottle once since end of December ( bought on ebay for £19.00) and it should do me until the end of April before i need to get a new one. Im surprised as to how long its lasted.

Never used prime time sorry.
