The XX Revolution Cloud Burst Primer is a product I knew I had to purchase, as quickly because it launched, because it seemed so cool and completely different for a drugstore face primer.
This primer launched in April 2021, as half of a complete cloud themed assortment, which was themed across the model’s Cloud CompleXXion Gentle Contact Primer, which was one of many first merchandise XX Revolution launched again in 2020.
“Get your head within the clouds… Our XX Revolution cloud collexxion is right here! Pores and skin lovin’ components to provide a dewy, moisturised base complexxion, infused with (oh so fluffy) marshmallow extract to moisturise and soothe and edelweiss extract, also called flower of purity, with its anti-oxidant properties… Float like a cloud.“
The XX Revolution Cloud Burst Primer is £10, and accommodates 17g / 0.59 oz of product. I’m kinda shocked at how little product you’re getting for £10. XX Revolution is marketed as being Revolution’s most luxurious model, and the whole lot does have nicer, sleeker packaging, and the formulation, from what I’ve tried, have warranted the upper value.
Nonetheless, this XX Revolution Cloud Burst Primer accommodates 17g of product, and virtually each different face primer within the drugstore accommodates 30g of product, so to get 13g much less, and for the worth to be larger than most drugstore primers, it’s stunning. Particularly for a product like a face primer, the place it’s one thing you’re going to use to your entire face and neck, so that you want a good quantity of product.
The XX Revolution Cloud Burst Primer is housed inside a transparent, cylindrical tube with a pump. This primer is a transparent jelly, with shimmery pink and shimmery white ‘balls’ suspended inside it. The tube has an air pump, which raises from the bottom, with every pump of the tube, and the elevating of the pump is what crushes the pearls, and blends them with the clear jelly.
So, whenever you pump the tube, the primer dispenses as a transparent jelly, with streaks of shimmer by means of it. So it’s a must to combine it collectively on the again of your hand together with your finger, or rub it collectively between your fingers, to make sure the shimmer streaks are totally blended into the jelly, in any other case you possibly can find yourself with nearly metallic patches on the face.
I’m unsure in the event you’ll be capable to see the shimmer within the XX Revolution Cloud Burst Primer swatches above, however it is vitally shimmery, and appears silver earlier than you apply it. It’s fast and straightforward to therapeutic massage into the pores and skin, and the ‘jelly’ consistency of the serum feels so cooling and soothing the second you begin rubbing it into the pores and skin.
It feels extra like a serum than it does a primer, however it does say ‘Priming Serum’ on the field, which is a reasonably correct description. As soon as utilized, it does depart the pores and skin feeling barely cheesy, such as you’ve simply utilized a hyaluronic serum, and make-up applies properly excessive.
The XX Revolution Cloud Burst Primer isn’t the form of primer I’d put on with out basis, as it’s a contact a shimmery, however as soon as basis is utilized excessive, the shimmer isn’t noticeable, and it appears extra luminous than shimmery. I haven’t observed any lasting advantages to my pores and skin since utilizing the primer, however it feels good, it appears good, and it really works properly as a make-up primer.
