Maybelline Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser Review

Picking this up earlier this week in Boots £7.99 , there was just this last one left on the display , eager to try and already proving to be popular I though I'd pick it up.

I like the packaging , a tube is always a winner for me as I can dispense exactly the amount I want . It's a  gel like texture with a silicone feel, which easily goes on the skin and leaves it feeling very smooth.  Places I have larger pores I patted a little to make sure the product was filling in . After I applied the primer it looked as though the pores were slightly more obvious , however once foundation is applied over it , it really does minimise the look of the pores very well.  And my favourite thing about it is that applying foundation was really made easy , it literally glided on, no rolling off of the product at all. 

It did increase the longevity of my foundation , however I'm not generally a primer wearer , unless a special occasion as it's an added step in the morning when I'm running out to do the school run , and have 2 minutes to put some makeup on . 

I am definately going to continue to use this as a day to day cheaper alternative to the similar Benefit Porefessional and Smashbox primer which I would normally turn to on the days  I wear primer .

Boots Haul

So my unofficial spending ban did not last long .
A little trip into Boots  this morning left me a little lighter on the pocket .

I passed the stand for Maybelline and there was just one little Instant Pore Eraser primer all on its lonesome just had to be taken , so much hype around this so a must for my curiosoty to try. It was buy 1 get 1 half price so the Eraser Eye concealer was mine , it would be rude not to, would nt it ?

Seventeen gel colour nail polish in shade blue lagoon also just managed to  jump into my basket  . I was wanting a dark blue  so ot was fine I let it stay . 
The 2 mascara s  I was in desperate need of  . My old one is probably 9 months old and well past the recommended 3 month  guide limit . Im very strict with my kit mascara s , but when it comes to my own - not so good. I usually buy  Loreal as I just much prefer them over most brands including high end . Its normally volume million I get , but opted for waterproof as I don't have one for those  days its needed. The other again Loreal is the false lash flutter in extra black. I had seen a review ober tje5 weekend on youtube so had to try for myself .

No doubt individual blog posts will follow,  so keep you eyes peeled .
