Another thing I was excited to try from this Paul & Joe Makeup Collection 2021 was this 10mL trial bottle of Foundation Primer on Day 16, in the color Limited 002.

As you may know, P&J has a cult following for their various Foundation Primers. I'm a big fan of the Pearl variety, and even then I only use them during the winter. IMHO is that the regular kinds are way too thick, way too moisturizing, and they provide way too much coverage for daily use, at least for me. Whereas the Pearls will provide just enough moisture to keep my dry-combo skin happy under the usual cocktail of waterproof sunscreen, and their micro-shimmers are just sheer enough to brighten my complexion without turning me into a disco ball.
Which is to say I had high hopes for this Primer Limited 002. I knew it was tinted and shimmery, but I thought it would be sheerer than the regular lineups that could be worn like a foundation on their own. And sure enough, it was much, much sheerer than the regular lineups--if the regular lineups were full coverage, this Primer Limited 002 would be Light-Medium coverage. Unfortunately, Light-Medium coverage is not sheer, so I still can't wear it on a daily basis like I do the Pearls. I'll try mixing a drop with my sunscreen sometimes. Will update this post after a good experiment. In the meantime, I'm keeping my fingers crossed they'll release another Pearl limited edition.
