I have to confess that, despite the directional sticker, it took me several times using it to figure it out. I felt like a total idiot when I realized how it was supposed to work. Doh!

what do u mean? is there a trick to squeezing it?

Well, I didn't realize that you weren't supposed to unscrew the whole cap off and that there is a little hole in it to squeeze the stuff out. For a while I was just taking off the applicator, and then I saw the little sticker, and I was like, oh, there's a cap on the cap you take off. And for the life of me, I couldn't get the damned cap off. And then I realized. You unscrew the little cap about a half turn to open the applicator hole on the cap. Duh. Maybe I'm just an idiot, but for some reason out of all the makeup I've ever used, this was not at all intuitive to me, hehe.

Re: UD Primer Potion Discussion

I love the primer potion in the original formula and in eden. I have a sample of it in Sin, and I just don't think that it works as well as the other two.

Re: How long does a tube of UDPP last?

It will last you about a year - but you have to depot it when you think you're running low (for me it was about 4 months after using the product). If you don't know how to depot it, there's a bunch of youtube videos about it

Re: How long does a tube of UDPP last?

It lasted me over a year! And what I had left when I depotted stayed workable until I was scraping the edges of the jar I kept it in!

Re: Finally - New UDPP packaging

ohh this makes me happy, I'll def have to give UDPP a try again, I HATED the packaging and made the switch to TFSI.

Re: Finally - New UDPP packaging

This is good news! I don't particularly care to press the applicator up to my eye either... it's messy and it feels like you might use more than necessary. Excited for a squeeze bottle style.

Re: Finally - New UDPP packaging

Woot... finally they ARE changing the packaging. It's high time that they changed the packaging. Glad that they listen to feedback from customer.

Re: UD Primer Potion Discussion

I'd be happy with new packaging as well. Right now I wipe the applicator onto a brush and apply it that way. I love the product and could not live without primer!

May be a stupid question: Can you use too much? Right now I am trying to work with pigments (newbie) and always use my primer but noticed one day that I could see a lot of primer with the pigment. I think either I used too much primer or put the pigment on while the primer was still damp?? Should you put your shadows/piggies on right away or wait a minute?

I agree. The Sin seems to crease on me, but I love this color the best. It isn't matte however, and I like the matte better so it doesn't affect the color or consistency of the shadow over it. Of all the UDPP, though, I like the Sin best without anything over it--used like a liquid eyeshadow and it is the only one I can do this with. I have had this one for 6 months and it is still fine in consistency which is good because I bought the ginormous one. The Eden one is my fave for matte PP, I hate that I only got the little baby size on on that. Wish I had the ginormous Eden and the tiny Sin.

I think you can use too much and it helps to wait a minute for it to dry a little before I put the e/s over it. Otherwise, the pigments or powder eyeshadow can crease a little or apply unevenly. Just my opinion...

Re: UD Primer Potion Discussion

Finally! This is great news. I love UDPP but when my current one ran out was not going to repurchase due to the packaging.

Once I could not get much out with the wand I took out the plastic inner rim to the top and now a bunch comes out. I didn't want to try to cut it because I was pretty sure I'd cut myself first since I'm so clumsy

Re: UD Primer Potion Discussion

I'm happy about the packaging change, too!

Re: UD Primer Potion Discussion

Hi girls!

I absolutely love UDPP!

I just recently got the UDPP in Sin and I love it too!
When I first tried it one year ago, it was irritating my eyes; therefore, I stop using it for a while. I then started to used Too Faced Shadow Insurance which I love too! Just recently I started using it again, and I cannot stop using it.

Although it is a bit pricey is worth it.

I also got Loreal's De-Crease which I used for work and that works well too.
More affordable and easier to get. Available in walgreen, cvs, and in any pharmacy.

Re: Finally - New UDPP packaging

Hey guys I was the blogger who originally wrote about this and I just wanted to clarify a few things since I know a lot of people had questions.

I was told that they would be putting UDPP in a squeeze tube similar to the complexion primer potions, and the first one to come out would be a "jumbo size" that contains 3x as much as a regular UDPP (part of their holiday collection). The plan is to phase in the new packaging this winter/next spring.

No word on prices yet, but I expect them to be reasonable as usual for Urban Decay.

Re: UD Primer Potion Discussion

It would be so great because honestly I'm tired of having what I think is a finished tube, only to realize that there is so much left. In other news, that baby finally creased on me and it took like 98 degrees to do it. Never had that happen before

Thanks for the heads up! I will hopefully be done with my tube by then to try it out.

Yay! The new packaging is available!

It looks like a mini version of the face primers.

I think its cool that they made it a squeeze tube but on Sephora it says its LE which sucks.
