There was a lady of a certain age I used to work with that had flawless makeup. I would always ask her for the secret and she'd constantly tease me. One day, she finally fessed up--she used Monistat Chafing Gel as a makeup primer! I know what you're thinking...Monistat? But this product that's used to chafing of the skin really works. I thought she was pulling my leg, but I consulted my
Have you tried this? What were your results? Would you try it?
PS--I'm guest posting at the lovely Maddy Chronicles today. It was a very special and personal post for me. Go check it out!
i would never have thought of that! haha.
ReplyDeletei remember at orientation for my job my supervisor said things like that and preparation H are some of the items with the highest shoplifting rates because people don't want to be seen buying them haha.
Never heard of it here but it sounds like a great cream. Still I did have a chuckle over it!
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of this product, but it sounds great! I'll check out your guest post, I'm a huge fan of Maddy's blog :)

ReplyDeleteNever heard of that before, that's interesting! There's a lot of surprising things that work well as primer it seems!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog!

Wow! Heard of a lot of secret "makeup" tricks, but never this one! I don't really use primer (not sure how it fits into my makeup routine since I don't use a foundation), but it sounds like a great alternative to the real stuff! And thank you for guest posting on my blog! I really enjoyed your post, really great advice in there! I hope everyone gets to read it because nowadays, you never know :o/
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post on Maddy's blog today, Elle. I too believe that sometimes things DO happen for a reason...even things we think are "bad" things. Silver linings do exist!
ReplyDeleteAs a Smashbox primer user....I have to say, I did flinch a little when I heard the name Monistat and thought of my face....however, on your recomendation....I'm hitting CVS today to pick up a bit.
Happy Wednesday....so nice to meet you!

I really enjoyed your post on Maddy's blog!
ReplyDeleteThis is totally crazy, but that flawless skin remark makes me tempted to try it. Although I would kind of feel like I needed to hide it in my drawer or something lol :-)
I seriously would never have even thought to try this! I usually go for the Avon primer (about $7 a tube and good quality I've found).

No I'm intrigued! :)
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to pop in and say that I loved your post over at Maddy's today. I love your "process." I love your photos, too!
That's kind of hilarious. Must remember this. I knew a woman who used prep' H for her puffy eyes :)
ReplyDeleteI some times question the benefits of a face primer. If you use a good cleanser and a moisturizer, what's the point is how I feel. I don't think I'll be using monistat on my face. I have very sensitive skin!

Back in my old pageant days, we used to use Prep. H for all sorts of things. I've heard that they have since changed the formula, so it doesn't work the same anymore.
ReplyDeleteI may have to give this a try.

What the heck?! Do you rub it all over like a base? I'm bad with makeup.
ReplyDeleteWell, that's certainly a new one to me! I wonder if it would irritate sensitive skin?
ReplyDeletewhat a great price! i have never tried primer. my face tends to break out so i am leery of adding too much to it!
ReplyDeleteI've heard about this, maybe I should try it soon. $5 is a good price!:D

ReplyDeleteI've used the Monistat Anti-Chafe cream as a mattifies, as I have really oily skin. I've never tried it as a primer... I will give it a go!
