So I ended up going to Sephora last week and I FINALLY got Urban Decay Primer Potion. I've been using L'Oreal De-crease for 3 years now, it just doesn't last me as long as I need it to.
Since I have UDPP now, I decided to do a little test! For 3 days I had one eye with UDPP as a primer and the other eye with L'Oreal De-Crease as a primer. I took pictures in the morning, a mid-day picture, and finally at the end of the day. :) I hope nobody has done this before! I didn't find anything in memories/tags.
Now, this is just to (try) to help people who are torn between UDPP and LD. I'm not trying to say that everyone needs to switch ASAP, I'm just trying to help! :)
NOTE: I didn't use ANY bases. The only thing I used was the UDPP and LD.
Day one

LD was started to fade by noon, but still no creasing from either. UDPP faded a little and it JUST started to show signs of creasing after 15 hours.
Day two
Dark Smokey eye.
Changed eyes, this time UDPP is on my left eye, and LD is on the right.

(gross)
My eyes were INCREDIBLY watery that day. :( Both kind of started fading from the crease mid-day. One more than the other, obviously.
Day three
Natural eye.
No full face for this day, I stayed home all day. It was a lazy day. I didn't even put on mascara! lol
The lighting is off in the 3 pm pictures. :(

So there ya go. :D
L'Oreal De-crease used to work PERFECT for me. Then I started school and had to wear my makeup all day, and that's when it started creasing on me.
So, if you don't have to wear your makeup all day and/or you don't have oily lids, I say save $10 and go with LD (or just a concealer seems to work for people). BUT if you're like me and have oily lids AND wear your makeup all day, spend the extra $10 and invest in some UDPP!
I hope I helped someone! Have a nice day!
