Storytime

CROP Naturals Cosmetics and Skincare is an Australian cosmetics and skincare brand that launched about a year or so ago I believe.  I found it in my local supermarket Coles, and even though it is in the supermarket it is quite expensive when it comes to the cosmetics portion of their product line.  Unfortunately price is not always synonymous with quality as I found with their CROP Natural Cosmetics Nude Mineral Eyeshadow Quad.

This has a spackle feel to it.  You can feel it on your skin and it spreads stiffly across the skin.  Be careful to use a scarce amount because if it is applied too thickly it will cake up with whatever products you apply on the top of it.  Once removed it leaves a residue, but it does seem to disappear soon after.  Its very different to some other primers and it also has a smell to it, while not entirely unpleasant it is not great either.  It has a 'natural smell' to it.

What I have noticed is that it collects anything that gets stuck to it, I was wearing a top that was a bit fluffy and much to my horror, I found that little balls of material stuck to my lower jaw underneath near my neck!

Another thing I have noticed, is that it intensifies the products that are applied afterwards on to your face.  I tested this suspicion by doing a split face one side with the primer and the other side without.  When I applied contour it was significantly deeper, blush was intensified and both of these were not with multiple applications of the products.  For me, I did not like this effect as I do not need a strong contour and would like to be able to expect when I apply my products to my face.

I am undecided about whether this primer is a definite recommend or not.  I think it comes down to what you want from a makeup primer.  After moisturising and then this primer, I then use suncream and then my Touch in Sol CC Corean Complexion Cream as well plus a setting powder to pull it all together.

As with one of the two eyeshadow products I tested, I believe this is overpriced for the product you receive.  It is $27.00 AUD.

Once again this is up to you whether you like some of these attributes to the primer.
