Trying MOM and Monistat chafing gel today

I'll let everyone know what I think.  I know it's lunch time, but I haven't even showered and put on makeup yet :)

For anyone who doesn't know, Milk of Magnesia ($3 a bottle) is supposed to be a fantastic oil control mattifier, and Monistat chafing gel ($5 on sale at Target) is supposed to be a fantastic primer.  People say the Monistat is nearly identical to Smashbox photo finish primer ($36 at Sephora).  I've never used the Smashbox primer, so I won't be able to compare the two, but I'm still interested to see how the Monistat performs.

  • Lol, I'm trying the mom today as well. I can't bring myself to try the other one yet.Keep us posted!
    Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
  • Definately update! I'm so happy I found out about MOM on the interwebs the other day  :) It is nice to have options
  • I just bought the chafing gel a couple of days ago. I hated it and quite honestly, it made my foundation wear off faster. But it has the same feel and consistency as Smashbox primer, so I don't doubt that is does work for some people. I didn't like Smashbox primer nor did it work that well for me so I didn't have high hopes to begin with. I only used it for two days, I was scared it would make me break out, but so far so good. 
  • I use the Monistat, and it works well for me!
