So recently I was at Target picking up a few basic things I needed in the make up section, and my Target has the beauty consultant in stores, I believe they have one of these in every re modeled Target, if not all Targets now. She gave a friend and I some samples, and the Pixi by Petra Flawless & Poreless Primer was one of the samples. I, personally have never heard of this brand, but I've always wanted to try out a primer, as I've never used one before! The first day I used this with my normal foundation (Which has a primer in it, so I really didn't need to use it) and I put it on, and it went on super oily, the only thing I can compare this feeling to, is if you were to pour oil in a bucket, and stick your hand in it, then rub your hand all over your face. It was awful especially since I do not have oily skin. I let it set for 15 minutes thinking maybe it needed to set then it would be "matte" as it claims. It did not reduce my pores, it made them bigger if anything, as my pores are very, very small to start with, it feels very heavy and as if my face was suffocating, my makeup didn't go on flawlessly, I looked like a grease ball, and I had to put on so much mattifying/setting powder to keep from looking like an oily mess. And it wasn't just that foundation, I tried it again a few days ago with a different foundation and it did the same thing. So I would not recommend this even if it were the last primer on earth. Save your money, and your face.
