While I’m usually all “primer-schrimer,” I’m fairly excited about Lash Fusion Armour Conditioning Primer. It’s not just promising to add volume with fibers or magical fairy dust. It contains vitamin B5 to feed and hydrate your lashes and antioxidants and peptides to strengthen. The brush is unique with a split personality: One side of the stiffly bristled brush has a comb-like row while the other offers a fluffy wave. The fluffy wave is good for application while the comb is good for definition. On its own the effect is soft natural lashes and this alone looks nice.

The formula stays wet for a while which, I believe, is the key to a successful primer. When adding a coat of regular mascara here, the mascara really grips to the primer and my one-coat payoff is similar to a two-coat application. Why not just skip the primer and apply two coats of mazzie? Because of the serum-like qualities of the conditioning agents.  I haven’t seen results over time yet but I admit I drank the Kool-Aid on this one a bit. It’s great on it’s own and actually improves the application of your mascara. Buy this!
