Estee Lauder Futurist Aqua Brilliance Watery Glow Primer

I had at least three of these 15mL/0.5fl. oz. deluxe travel sized tubes of Estee Lauder Futurist Aqua Brilliance Watery Glow Primer from three different GWP's. EL was hyping them up so much--I saw ads for it everywhere! Every time I opened up Instagram, I saw more ads. And then with every order I placed with EL, I got a sample. Naturally, I looked forward to trying it, because that's how marketing works, right?

Laura Mercier Pure Canvas Primer

When I finally understood the use of highlighting primers and bases, and the not so great use of liquid highlighters, I went back for more of the former and skip the latter altogether. Spotting these Laura Mercier Pure Canvas Primer on Nordstrom.com, I picked them up without a second thought: 50mL/1.7fl. oz. full size tubes of the Blurring and Illuminating variety, and 25mL/0.8fl. oz. half size tube of the Hydrating kind as I was iffy what it might do to my dry-combo skin.
