I've always used the original and I love it but I'm starting to run out and I'm tempted to try one of the other colours. Which one do you prefer? Sin or Eden?

From what I've read, eden is a drier formula with a matte finish that is especially good for matte shadows. Sin is a good base for sparkly shadows or pretty worn by itself :)

I love Eden. Just a personal preference! It isn't so much tinted or has a coloring to it. It feels good on my eyes and it really soaks up the color of the eyeshadows. But that's just my personal choice!

I love both actually, & I'm planning to buy both. Eden is great for matte shadows, Sin is amazing for shimmer shadows. since I use a lot of both, I want both! lol.

I don't like using Sin all over because the shimmer really flattens out the eye area, especially the crease. Sin is gorgeous in moderation, but I don't use it enough anymore to justify buying it again. Eden is great because it's matte, so it really enhances mattes and you can add shimmer eyeshadow if you want as well.

Sin is very shimmery, so I would only get that if you want some extra shimmer. It applies very well though.

Eden is about the same consistency as the original, maybe a little drier and it's got more color to it as well so it's good for neutralizing any redness on the eyelids.

Anti-Aging is nice because its a little thinner than the rest of the primers. I don't see much of a difference as far as anti-aging benefits go though. I had a very small sample and used it for a while and was fine, then got a bigger sample so I was using it longer and then it seemed like it was irritating my skin and making it burn so I switched back to original and it stopped.

As far as samples though, if you're buying online from either Sephora or Urban Decay, I have gotten a mini eyeshadow sampler of all 4 of them before. It's like a little book with 4 packets of them. You could ask if they have any at Sephora but I've always got it online from them at checkout. I'm not sure how often they have it but I've gotten it at least twice now.

Forgot to mention it but my favorite is still probably original but I'd go for Sin because I do wear shimmery colors a lot and it applies very nicely :) but I'd definitely try to get my hands on the sampler.
