    Terrible - bring back the BB cream

    I used the find your new favorite tool because BM discontinued the BB Cream primer. This product is subpar in every way. Just terrible. Too thick, and barely comes out of the tube. Does not glide well at all. Feels like paste on your face. And the tone is all off. The old BB primer cream created a smooth canvas and the mineral makeup looked great on top of it. This is garbage. Do not recommend. BM doesn't have a decent primer at all - i have tried all of them. Desperately wish they'd bring back the BB primer cream, or at least do a limited run so those of us who know it was the best one can buy 25 bottles each. The Tarte BB blur tinted moisturizer is close but it doesn't have the same primer effect. I am not sure why BM would suggest this as a substitute for the BB cream but it is awful. Avoid at all costs and save your money.

    Not at all like Prime Time

    The tube I received was nothing like the Prime Time I have used in the past. It’s very thick and extremely difficult to squeeze out of the tube. Is there anyway I can get a refund?

    Unfortunate.....

    I've never had a problem with Bare Minerals, but this product has some sort of chemistry issue. The product will not come out of the tube. I think maybe it froze in transit? Hopefully I will get a replacement. I have reached out but have not heard back.

    Very thick

    I have purchased this inthe past and the tubes were ok. This one seems to be very thick almost like old and drying out.

    Primer

    This was not what I was expecting. The formula was

    so dense, I could barely squeeze it from tube and then it was hard to distribute on my face without a lot of tugging.
