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.

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.
