Hello IMBBians,
I usually do not prefer primers because I use rosehip oil and the creams I use, make a good base. I recently spotted this one and decided to pick it up. Today’s review is all about Essence Fresh and Fit Awake Primer. Read on to know more.
Price and Quantity: $4.25 for 30ml
Product Description:
Used solo or applied underneath foundation, the light texture of the primer with light-reflecting pigments ensures a smoother, fresher complexion and extends the durability of make-up with vitamins and cranberry water.

My Experience with Essence Fresh and Fit Awake Primer:
The primer comes in a tube package. It has a seal on the cap. The beige tube with a black cap makes it a perfect travel companion. There is some basic information on the back of the tube. There are 2 products in this range, there is a foundation too but I am happy with my foundation. One of the reasons I picked this one because this one claimed that it could use this alone or with a foundation. The screw cap is tight enough and there is no leakage. The nozzle is great and it dispenses the liquid correctly. The primer is rose pink in color and is illuminating. It feels almost like a liquid highlighter. The smell is very pleasant but it fades away pretty quickly.
A little product is more than enough to get an illuminating effect. The product is very easy to spread and it gets absorbed well. However, it creates a highlighting shimmery effect which looks a bit oily. It feels like it is a bit caked up but when foundation or fixing powder is applied, it reduces. The primer takes a bit to settle down, so you need to wait for a while before you slather on the foundation. The primer creates a smooth base for the foundation. The product feels like a mixture of talc and serum. It can get patchy if applied incorrectly. The product doesn’t minimize the pores nor does it hides the imperfections. The product is only suitable for extending the length of the foundation on the face. My Rimmel Foundation lasts for a good 12-13 hours without any primer but with this primer, the longevity increases to almost 15 hours. Even a local brand I had bought which lasts for 4-5 hours extended its wear time up to 8 hours which is pretty great.
The product illuminated the face with the sparkling particles present in it. This can be mixed with your day cream to create an illuminating effect. The product can be used as a highlighter and it does the job pretty well. I like the multipurpose property of this product. This primer is great when you have to take your pictures outdoors in the sun, it adds a brilliant radiance to your face and I absolutely love it! The product doesn’t cause any breakouts. I am not sure of the use of cranberry water in the primer, but I love the fact that it is inexpensive and does the job pretty well for what I paid. So, summing up:
Pros of Essence Fresh and Fit Awake Primer:
