Review
I discovered the N.Y.C. Smooth Skin Perfecting Primer when I was doing some research online about the top rated drugstore primers under $20. I wasn't impressed with the last two primers I had tried, and was on the hunt for a new one that would meet my needs and wouldn't break my bank account. This primer was mentioned in quite a few of the articles and blogs I had read about must try items at the drugstore, so I decided to give it a whirl.

First Impressions:
When I first squeezed out the primer from the bottle, I noticed that it was runnier than I had first expected. More of a lotion consistency rather than a primer, and I ended up with more product than I needed. Honestly, a quarter size amount or smaller is all you really need of this product to cover the entirety of the face.
The product itself is a white colour with lots of shimmer. There is no mistaking that this primer will leave your skin with a luminous or dewy finish. When you blend out the product, the white colour appears to become transparent (more on this later), but the shimmer becomes a bit overwhelming, so much so that there is no hiding how reflective this product settles on the skin.
Now, I didn't really notice any strong scents coming from the tube after I opened it. However, once I had the product on my hand and started applying it to my face, I could immediately detect a strong odour. It is an odd smell too, almost like a combination of baby power, soap and a lotion my grandmother might have worn. At first it seems like a mild scent, but after spreading it out on my skin, it really started to build and become quite noticeable. Honestly, the more I had to smell this product, the more I grew to dislike it. After a while, the smell became so strong, that I was counting down the minutes before I could take it off.
