As per usual, this review requires a bit of background. Eventually everyone is going to know my entire life story! So back in high school I did not wear makeup. Gasp! I know hard to believe right. Now, I have enough makeup I could practically open my own makeup counter. But there was a reason. I had contact lenses and for the life of me I could not find a brand that did not irritate my eyes. Until one of my friends did a little investigation and discovered that Prescriptives makeup was all ophthalmologist tested and deemed safe for contact lens wearers!
Once I discovered that I could wear makeup I was like a kid in a candy store. And by “kid”, I mean 16 years old and by “candy store” I mean the Prescriptives counter at Nordstrom. Every occasion, from Formal to Proms to Columbus Day I went to have my makeup done. The Prescriptives Counter may as well have been “Cheers” and I was Norm coming in to occupy my usual stool. Each time the artist would use Super Line Preventor to prep my skin and being a teenager, I was skeptical. I was told for my age, it was really more of a makeup base. It was light weight and did not make my skin oily. So along with my Prom lipstick, my mother agreed to purchase a bottle of SLP (Super Line Preventor).
So fast forward ten years and I am still obsessed! From that very first bottle, I have been a full-fledged Prescriptives junkie. I really can not live without this product. When I’m super busy and have not had time to replenish my supply, it only takes about 3 days sans SLP for me to hightail it to Nordstrom to restock. Now, much to my delight they have reformulated Super Line Preventor into Super Line Preventor Xtreme! I just started using the new formula a week ago and I love it! Xtreme is a bit different in color and slightly thicker, thus even more awesome. My skin feels so smooth and even and my makeup goes on like a dream. My mom and I have been cleaning out old photographs this summer and I swear I look exactly the same I did in high school, well with better brows and a better haircut, but my skin has not aged at all! I totally ascribe this fountain of youth effect it to SLP! If I was relegated to a make up free island (or to New Jersey) and had to survive with only one beauty product this would be it. So for snobs of all ages, I highly recommend Prescriptives Super Line Preventor Xtreme, available at Nordstrom!
