Review: Revlon Photoready Primer!

I've just finished using the Revon Photoready Primer, and thought I'd just give you a quick review of it, and why I wouldn't repurchase this product.


I took these photos a couple of weeks ago in the hope I'd suddenly fall in love with it, but no luck unfortunately. 
Revlon is a brand that I really trust as a hole. Nail polishes are amazing (more pricey than other drugstore brands though), Colorstay foundation is a cult beauty product and their lip products are incredible (lip butter, need I say more?!). Sure, their mascaras are a bit hit or miss, and their blushers are a bit leave it, although they have just brought out some cream ones that look promising, but as a whole Revlon is a brand that you know where you stand with most the products. 

I picked up the Photoready primer as I'd just ran out of my previous one, and I was pretty disappointed. The packaging is awful. The lid falls of all the time because it's just too big and loose, and the prudct does not come out when you press the pump! The pump get's blocked (see photo below), and even when you get the product to sit at the bottom of the pump, it still doesn't suck up very well.

Blocked bit, some product, and blended in

The product doesn't keep my foundation on any longer and I didn't feel that it helped it apply any better, so where is the point?! 

I don't want to keep going on about how much I disliked this product so I'll stop now. If you don't have oily skin it may work better for you, but that won't help avoid the packaging issues!

Sorry Revlon, this isn't your best!
