Will this be a holy grail item? Read until the end to find out.
It currently retails for about $11.95 AUD.
According to Face of Australia website, this primer is meant to help
"Fill in fine lines for a more balanced surface, so that your foundation applies evenly and stays on longer for all-day flawless skin. The special formula contains Vitamin E to nourish and hydrate skin and chamomile to smooth your complexion, leaving it fresher and brighter, ready for foundation application."
Have you ever wondered why the ingredients are listed the way they are? Actually they are listed by the amount of each product there is. Meaning the first listed product has the most amount, while the last product has the least.

I am somebody who as sensitive skin as well as extremely dry skin. I can say this product(FOA) really works for me. It makes my skin moist and well prep'ed while it also does not irritate my skin. The perfume smell is also not overwhelming(as if it isn't there). I can't say much when compared (since I dont have the napoleon's primer) but I can say that I have felt the Napoleon's primer (swatched) and it feels and nearly smells exactly the same.
The cost difference is dramatic and there is a huge gap. The Napoleon one cost around $60 while the Face of Australia one cost around $12(sometimes you can even get in on sale for even cheaper!) I actually managed to get mine on sale at Kmart for $5 (Bargin! right?)
I feel like you just need to try this for yourself to know. But I HIGHLY recommend it.
Overall: 10/10
Cost: 10/10
Packaging: 10/10
There is really nothing to hate about it.
