I purchased both through Ipsy's daily offers for $39. They are sold individually on Juicebeauty.com as well as Ulta.com. The primer retails for $36 and the foundation retails for $42. You can watch my first impression, demo, and review video down below.
I believe this is a collaboration between Juice Beauty and Gwyneth Paltrow. She runs an online blog/website called GOOP, and it features a lot of health related articles as well as fashion and beauty. I subscribed to the newsletter so I get updates all the time. Honestly, I don't really go to the website and read anything because I have tons of newsletters from companies everyday. Sometimes I just don't even bother to open those emails.
Ok, onto the primer and the foundation. I personally quite love the primer, and I used it mostly in the summer. It adds just the right amount of glow, and the aloe juice really cools/refreshes my skin. It almost depuffs my face since I get puffy in the morning on hot and humid days. However, I can't use this primer once the weather cools down. As soon as it got into the Fall season, my skin got drier every time I use this primer. Both the primer and the foundation are very liquidy. I mean, extremely liquidy. Make sure to shake really well before using them. Because of the thin texture, this primer just doesn't hydrate my skin enough in the colder months. I had to swap it with a more hydrating primer such as the Marc Jacobs Beauty Coconut primer which is great for combo skin that needs extra moisture in the colder weather. Back to the Juice Beauty products. Now the primer adds a nice glow to the face as well as any foundations on top. I do find that it makes any foundations look extra dewy within shorter period of time. I guess what I'm trying to say is that it shortens the longevity of any foundations over it. I don't dislike it, but I do need to blot my face quite early in the day. I mean it's not really a big of a deal. I don't end up looking like a grease ball if I don't blot because this primer is so thin. I personally like a satin/semi-matte or natural finish in a foundation, but I don't mind the glow that this primer gives.
Now the foundation is something else. I haven't used it for a continuous period of time to see if the serum in it helps with my overall skin. I tried it in the demo video and disliked it, so I stopped using it. I just went with my guts and purchased 08 Cream shade since there was no references/reviews online anywhere at that point. It applied so much thinner in the video, but as I tried it again few days ago, I found it to be so much lighter in shade and more coverage than I initially applied. It's weird. I know. I used a synthetic elf foundation brush to apply it this time. I need to keep using the foundation, and will update later to let you know if it really changed my skin overall. As for now, it's a light coverage foundation and not very buildable. One thing I love about it is it's thin texture. It's a lot thinner than any foundations I've ever tried on the market, but I've grown to love super liquidy foundation now. It's just much easier, faster, and more natural looking on the skin.
