I'm not a fan of this product, it doesn't do what a primer should, which is prevent eyeshadow from creasing.

 As for making shadows more vibrant I don't notice much, Urban Decay Primer Potion is a lot better in that regard.

I wore this under my eyeshadow for about 5-6hrs, and it did crease, not terribly, but noticeably.

Texture wise I find it to be slightly oily, thin, and pretty much colorless once blended in.

I also own their Mineral Primer, and I much prefer the texture of that one because it's not so oily feeling.

Advantages

Not tested on animals

Price

Disadvantages

Doesn't prevent eyeshadow from creasing

Overall I think this is an ok primer for the price. It may work if you have very dry skin, and don't expect miracles. You will get a few good hours wear with this, but I find this really doesn't make a difference because I usually don't have issues with creasing until the end of the day anyway. 

For a buck it could still be worth giving it a try for yourself, because it will depend a lot on your skin type, the weather, what eyeshadows you're using etc, this may work for you.
