Where is the monistat chafing gel (and is it powder?...if so, does it look cakey?) sold at? To where I can go and pick it up.

Thanks girls!

You sure you checked the section where they sell the Monistat products? I also couldn't find it at Walmart the first time I looked but when I gave it a clsoer look, they were there.

Look at Walmart/Target/Kmart as they also carry it aside from the drugstores.

Walmart,
Walgreens
CVS
Rite Aid

yeah, I almost missed it when I was at walmart, but it was just hiding amidst the Feminine products.

I tried out some Smashbox Photofinish primer at sephora today, and it felt almost exactly the same as the Monistat gel. I tried the gel all over my face, but now I just use it on the upper half of my face. I don't like it at the bottom of my nose or around my mouth, cause it can be hard to clean off. Overall, I am not going to pay for the Smashbox Primer when I can get the Monistat gel for 6 dollars.

Okay ladies - I started using this last Friday and just LOVE how it makes my skin feel. It is so smooth and soft. Unfortunately it did not help my oily skin. I used it for the last time yesterday, as it also made me break out on my chin. I sure did like the texture of my skin though.

I have been using this for a while now and when I share with others who comment on my mu they tend to laugh at me and say I am crazy for putting "that stuff" on my face. I try to explain that it isn't the yeast stuff, but still the strange looks. That's okay though, less likely Target will be out of it when I need to buy more

It works as a foundation primer, but a moderate primer at best (meaning, not nearly as good as some of the primers marketed as high ends). I think it works better than some high end primers, but not many. The primary ingredient is silicone based, making the primer to possess the same liquid-to-powder cinco, but that doesn't mean it is the same thing or even close to exceeding the expections or making the promises, any primer would make. I also do not recommend chaffing gel for an eye primer as it is radically stronger in content and possesses chemicals that are not safe around the eye area, as the eye area is more sensitive than the rest of the skin.

I used this and this worked for me.

I did get the Smashbox on time and it does feel alot like the Monistat chafing gel. I like the feel of them both. They're both light, not heavy or sticky, not drying and my foundation and bronzer looks and stays on alot longer!

two thumps up for both of them.

i have ordered this!!...cant wait to try it out .... oh does anyone know if it helps fill in pores/little scars/uneven skin??...so they dont show as much when you put on foundation....??

[MusicNMakeup]

Yeah, it does. It's like a primer for ....painting walls or painting a car (that's the only thing I can compare it to

Fills in the wrinkles and pores...I'm not sure about scars and such because it's really a thin primer...which is good because I don't think that a thicker primer would look as natural.

It's good stuff, though.

Okay - I've decided to give it another try as I just love how it made my skin feel. I'm hoping the breakout was due to a different moisturiser that I had also used that week!!

I used to use Preparation H for my bags under my eyes. It's an old model trick. BUT, PH is so drying and although it may take the puffiness out, it dries up the under eye.

Castor oil is what I use now for baggy eyes. Before I go to bed, I put some on my under eyes and up above eyelids.

This is the greatest post ever. I have been using the chafing gel for a couple of months and my makeup stays on my face now. Only blot touch ups are needed now.
