The tube is 1.5 oz. For every day use i think i'll last about 1 1/2 months.
Since it's sooo hard for you to find it at your local store, why don't you order it online at drugstore.com They sell if for $6.99.

Thanks! I don't think it will be too hard to find, I was just upset it was not at Walgreens
& I have to go somewhere else. I will order it online as a last resort, but when you add shipping into it...then it gets more expensive.

I have both Photo Finish and Monistat, but since I don't like Photo Finish, I doubt I'll be trying the Monistat on my face anytime soon. Photo Finish breaks me out, and I imagine Monistat would do the same.
I use the Monistat for it's intended purpose, which is to prevent chafing on the legs, inner arms, etc.

Ok....I'm almost convinced. I use Laura Geller spackle; but the price really tempts me. However I just haven't been able to wrap my mind around it....you know, "Monistat, yeast infections, smear it on your face....well maybe not...."

i guess it's a lil late to post, but I've got simple questions:
When you put on either the actual smashbox or whether you put on the monistat, do you moisturize your skin before or after you put on the primer? Will it make a difference? Because I read everyone's comments and one said that it repels water...so I was thinking that a person would moisturize beforehand. However, I was wondering if the primer will still go on as great as it should even after you moisturize or will it cancel out the primer effect after moisturizing?
Is it okay to put sunscreen before or after the primer? I really want to keep my skin healthy from the sun so I was wondering if I had to give up sunscreen on my face for the primer.
I'm sorta a novice for makeup stuff...so, does a primer ONLY provide smooth application, or does it also help your makeup to stay for the day? If it does help the foundation/powder stay, how long does it make the makeup last?
Thank you =) hope i get a response even though I'm a bit late for this thread

I like the stuff. My sister and I both use it. Also, if it was suppose to be for your vagina ,no
, we wouldn't be using it.
I'd recommend it to anyone.
Here's how the website describes it.
*Non-greasy Powder-Gel™ skin protectant formula with Dimethicone. Dries to form a silky, breathable barrier to fight friction;
*Prevents chafing and irritation caused by moisture, heat, and movement. Ideal for treating everyday intimate discomforts of athletes, plus-size women, new moms, and bikini area waxers or shavers;
*Fast-acting formula comforts chafed skin. Works with just one application;
*Fragrance-free and non-staining. Discreet relief without damage to your undergarments;
*Non-irritating formula with Vitamin E and soothing Aloe. Gentle enough for daily use on even your most delicate areas.
*This product is not intended to treat yeast infections.
For external use only.

I really want to keep my skin healthy from the sun so I was wondering if I had to give up sunscreen on my face for the primer. (someone can correct me if I'm wrong) I believe you put on your skin products before your primer. Primer should go on last ,right before your foundation. It's what I do.

Like the "mood lipstick" that you could get in either pink or orange tones? I can't remember who made it, but it was clear then would turn like bright pink or orange on your lips! I guess everyone ended up in the same fluorescent mood! it is/was pretty cheap stuff...
