Benefit Stay Flawless 15 hour Primer

If you have been reading my blog for a while, you will know my newly developed love for all things Benefit. I tried my first Benefit product just before christmas and I was instantly sold. I am always interested to see what products they have coming out and they never seem to disappoint. Here is the newest offing from Benefit - 15 hour Stay flawless primer. 
I picked this up as a bit of a spur of the moment purchase. I went to the Benefit stand when they had the awesome offer on their They are Real Mascara and to tie it in I also had £10 off with my beauty card. This primer retails at £24.50 which is the most expensive primer I have ever tried but I really wanted to try it so I thought I would treat myself!

The first thing I have to say about this primer is how strange it is! I am not going to lie it feels a little bit like wiping a pritt stick around your face. I do however love the idea of this as it just means that you can just put the primer on the areas of your face where you think you will need it the most. It is quite a soft silky feel and because of the application doesn't need bending in. 
I dont know if I can comment on the 15 hour side of this primer. I only really use a primer out of habit, I have never really paid much notice as to if they make my make up last all day. Most primers tend to make my make up look more flawless a little longer and I do tend to put my make up on at 6.30 in the morning and take it off around 10 at night and it always looks as good as when I put it on but then I havent noticed this primer does any different than some of the others I have used. 

I really like the consistency of this primer and the way that you put it on but I think that the price does put me off a little bit. I did notice at the weekend in a sneaky pop into Boots that 17 have brought out a primer of a similar consistency but in a tub which you rub on - however it is a fraction of the price so I am going to be giving this a try and comparing the 2 of them. 

Have you tried this??? What do you think???
