I'll start with some reviews, I guess

Just several products I've tried out:

Urban Decay Primer Potion(UDPP)

Pros:
-Makes shadows more vibrant
-Makes your shadow stay put until the end of the day
-Keeps lids smooth and dry(not peely dry, but enough to control oil)
-A LOT of product.  People complain about having to cut it open to get your money's worth, but it takes only a minute or 2, and it's kinda fun.

Cons:
-Expensive to some people($17)
-Can be too drying on some peoples lids, or over time
-Can make it slightly more difficult to blend
-The whole cutting open thing can be dangerous if you're not careful.

But over all, I love it.  If you have dry lids, or don't want to cut open the bottle, I suggest Too Faced Shadow Insurance.  I've never used it, but a lot of people say it's the same thing, just more moisturizing, and it's comes in a tube instead of the bottle.

Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer

I bought this in the Ulta 'try me' kit, since it had other products I wanted to try, and in good sizes.  I suggest this before buying full-size products from smashbox.

Pros:
-Makes skin softer, a more smooth surface
-Moisturizing
-Evens out skintone a tad
-Face makeup lasts longer

Cons:
-Can make skin feel oily, and it feels like vegetable oil(may just be me) when you're putting it on.
-Expensive!($36)

I wouldn't buy this again, but I have sensitive, dry skin.  So if you have 'normal' skin, then I say to go buy the 'try me' kit and trying it out.  It comes with a small set of brow tech and cream eye liners, a full-size double-sided eyeliner/brow brush, small tube of photo-op under eye brightener, a full-size clear lip gloss, and I think thats all, but the kit is only $30, which would cover just the brush, so it's a great deal!

MORE COMING SOON
