Ellana Primer

This is the first ever primer I have had. I few years ago, primers weren't so common. I read/saw about them in the internet and I thought I had to have one because my face was so oily and no foundation was good enough for me. Of course, this was before I discovered Revlon Colorstay.

I thought primers were going to change everything but after having tried 5 different ones, I realized not all of them work. Honestly, I have yet to find an effective face primer that claim to control oiliness.

Oil Control/Lasting power
I don't know what else to say other than... bad! This primer does nothing and absolutely nothing to control the oil production on my face. It does not even make my foundation last!

Coverage

This is a clear primer so it doesn't cover anything nor does it claim to.

Texture
It's a gel formula that gives the skin a satin-like feel when applied on the face. It's very easy to spread.

Packaging 
The cap and the pump, yes there is a pump, is made of plastic but the rest of the container is a glass bottle which makes it quite nice.

The verdict
Okay, there is one good thing about this product: it improves my skin. No, not just temporarily but permanently! After a few days of using this, my skin becomes softer and smoother. I guess it's because it's natural? For me, this is more of a skincare than a cosmetic make-up. Instead of throwing this out, I just use it when I stay home during the day.

This primer doesn't live up to its claims so I'm not going to repurchase nor do I recommend it.
