After reading this information, I decided to try out the chafing gel. I’ve never before used a primer, but I was thinking I needed to since every foundation I wear ends up getting uneven after a few hours of wear. First of all, it is extremely smooth going on my skin (I use a small sponge) and takes just a few seconds. My skin feels very smooth after applying this. I am now using Smashbox Halo powder as a foundation, and it seemed to go on easier after using the chafing gel as a primer. The main thing I have noticed is that my skin feels more hydrated after using the gel as a primer, even after a full day of wearing makeup. I read the ingredients, and the chafing gel has no parabens, unlike Smashbox’s primer. I have not noticed any blemishes after wearing this gel for over a week now, so I think it’s safe to say it does not cause breakouts. All in all, for under $7, this is a hit with me. Thanks for bringing this information to us gals who appreciate saving our hard-earned money!

I read it on the monistat gel cream and it said that it’s not to treat yeast infections. I use it for my face and arm pits today. It says you can even use it on your breast. It’s suppose to be for sensitive skin. I like it and the tube is big so it’ll last me for a while. My skin looks good. This is my my new primer.

I don’t know. I’m still trying to figure out if the risk is worth it. I’ve been living on the Monistat Chaffing Gel review thread on MUA and the opinions seem pretty split. A lot of people have experienced break outs which I’d like to avoid at all costs … I don’t think I have the balls to try this out just yet. XD!

Hurray! I’m buying the Monistat Chaffing Gel.

I heard some people transfer it to a different container so I might do that. I love the primer. I might get some for my Mom too. hehehe

Yep, its true! I’ve used Monistat Chaffing Gel for over a year now and i STILL have plenty left. I’ve tried tons of primers before but Smashbox worked the best for me; however, the price simply did not. Did some research and it lead me to the Monistat Chaffing Gel. At first i was extremely skeptical, but I bought it for like $7 bucks and the texture was exactly the same

Good to know! haha, I love Smashbox foundation primer but I would probably die if I ever spent so much on a product I didn’t use every day… I’m just too lazy for that.

I’ve been following the blog a bit, and it’s great Expect more comments in the future? xo
