Love, love, LOVE facial primers! I got addicted to them a few years ago and continually enjoy trying them all.  Primers help to smooth or “prime” the surface of your skin and prepare it for a flawless foundation application. Jan Marini’s new Face Primer packs a nice “anti-aging” punch too!

Jan Marini’s Age Intervention® Prime Face Primer

Age Intervention Prime Face Primer gives facial skin an immediate airbrushed effect while providing remarkable rejuvenation benefits. Age Intervention Prime features an innovative and proprietary formula that includes newly developed topical agents that target elasticity, skin volume, inflammation and wrinkling to deliver extraordinary results.

Jan’s primer retails for $75 on most retail sites, and we are giving one away on Mythbuster Beauty – so don’t miss out on your chance!

We’ve got a winner!  Congrats to fokxxy – who will now be able to shop with a $150 Gift Card at SkinCareRx.com!!!   She mentioned that she wanted to try the SkinCeuticals Hydrating B5 Gel and I say, “GET IT!”  I have been using the B5 Gel along with their CE Feurlic for the last few weeks and my skin is doing so well – it feels soft, healthy and the Vitamin C really boosts your skin’s radiance.

Thanks to all who entered and keep checking back for many more great giveaways to come for 2010!
