It's too funny that it's 2am, and that I'm contemplating going to the 24-hour CVS just to try this out! I can put the money I save on smashbox towards more makeup

I havent tried the smashbox yet, but I got this chafin gel at wal mart, and it really does a wonderful job, smothes the skin and feels really nice, give it a try it´s only 6 bucks..

This is sad!

Use the clear gel. It has witch hazel, phenylphrine, and aloe vera. The shark oil kind is too greasy and obvious. I take it out of the tube and out it in a little container......

i purchased the monistat gel in hopes that i could save muchos moolah on a face primer. i have fairly sensitive, fair, oily skin.. ya, i really got the short straw on that... and was willing to use it for a few days to test it out. regarding the vajay comment (sorry), it does say on the box that it is not intended for yeast infections. there are a few posters here who are correct: it is primarily for chafing of any body parts, not mainly for the vaginal area.
the gel felt pretty smooth on my face, similar to smashbox's primer, but bottom line it did not deliver. it made my makeup last for a couple hours more than without primer, but by the end of the day it certainly wasn't fresh looking. i broke down and bought a smashbox photo finish travel size at shoppers for $25 CAD (pain the butt!). i walked outside in -20 weather for about 30 minutes and was wearing my makeup over this primer for... 9 hours now and my makeup looks fresh! so its worth the money in my opinion.

That is SOOO funny... because I know this post is kind of old, but I went to CVS today looking for it, and i said i needed "monistat" to the lady, and she looked at me like i was weird and started whispering to the other ladies... "she needs itch relief things"
lol and they recommended me a lotion to combat SKIN INFECTIONS CAUSED BY A SKIN PARASITE!!! eww.... so I left
hahaha... i'll give it a try tomorrow

Usually, I'd be kind of intrigued about dupes... but vaginal cream? I dunno. Not to mention I'm not a big fan of smashbox primer. Personally, it makes my face kind of oily. But i hear soooo many good reviews about it. Am I the only one who doesn't like it???

I tried it ...i liked it at first ...then after about a week ..my cheeks got a weird flakiness to them when i would put this on ..and once i applied my foundation the edges would pill up and curl into little fluff of skin, primer, foundation.
In my experience ..not workies at all.

The Chafing gel works best when mixed with a facial moisturizer on the back of your hand.
