Back in August (2014) I recorded my first Ulta Haul and with that haul I received a free gift (19 piece set). From this free gift with $19.00 USD purchase, I was able to receive a sample of the Ulta Extreme Wear Eyeshadow primer. I was very surprised by the lasting power of this primer, but before I get into my thoughts here are the products specs.

Final thoughts: I would absolutely love to love this primer, BUT it contains every paraben I've ever seen. I do really like this primer, as it holds the shadows very well [especially because I have oily eye lids]. This primer is inexpensive, has a nice applicator and does last quite a few hours (in the video below I wore the shadows for roughly 11 hours). A few things to remember, don't apply too much and be sure to smooth out any creases prior it the primer setting. Allow for a few seconds for the primer to dry, or else the primer will stick to your brush and not your lids. All in all I would highly recommend this primer (if you don't mind parabens).
