Hey guys! Every since I've purchased this product, I've gotten a lot of requests to do a review of this product! After two and a half weeks of trying this product, I have finally figured out what I think about it!
The packaging of this product is very adorable! I love how light and compact this feels! I love the light blue color and the cuteness of the font! The product is dispensed by squeezing, so the product will always be clean and sanitary whenever I use it. However, with the squeeze tube, I have to be careful with how much I squeeze cause there have been times when I've gotten too much product.
The product itself has a gel like consistency. It blends very well into my skin! I don't detect an odor that is completely unappealing, but it does have a slight scent to it. I am currently using this product like a primer, before my foundation application but after my moisturizer!
My initial impression of this product is not a good one, I initially thought this product was useless and didn't work. Turns out, I was wrong. The way to get the maximum application out of this product is by pushing it into your skin-- simply rubbing this into your skin will not suffice. If used properly, you can get the majority of your pores filled in and making your foundation application a lot smoother. I personally use it mainly on my cheeks and on my nose. I initially was rubbing this into my skin and it did not work to the same degree as pushing the product into my skin.
While I do enjoy this product as a "pore eraser", I do have a couple of drawbacks to mention. There is no oil controlling properties of this product (luckily for me, Florida's weather has been so erratic that I was able to test both sides of the extreme). As a girl with oily skin, having a primer that does have oil controlling properties would be beneficial, but I find that a setting powder or setting spray would suffice. This product will not prolong the longevity of your foundation, so a setting powder and/or spray is essential. As such, this product is probably best suited (if you aren't inclined to using a setting powder and/or spray) for those with Normal skin and if you don't live in a particularly hot and humid climate.
My final verdict? I recommend this product to my viewers! I wish I have tried other pore erasing primers so I could compare with you guys, but unfortunately this is the first one I have used! (UPDATE: I did a review of the Benefit Porefessional here, and I have to say I like it better than this). I have used this pore eraser in a Get Ready With Me Video here as well as a Holiday Makeup look Gold Eyes and Bold Red Lip and Duo Chrome Eye and Pink Lips.
What do you guys think? Will you guys pick it up anytime soon? Let me know in the comment section below. I hope you guys are staying safe with the crazy weather that's been going around D:

A brilliant review! This isn't out in the UK just yet, but I saw Nicole talk about it on her video and it seems interesting!
ReplyDeleteI guess you just have to buff it in for it to properly fill in the pores, but for a drugstore option sounds awesome!

Oh, I thought it was already in the UK? Thought I heard it somewhere... anyways glad you like the review :) Hope you found it helpful!
DeleteGreat review! I've been hearing people comparing it to Benefit's Porefessional. I wish it helped control oil though! :\
ReplyDeleteThanks! I kinda wish it did too, I'm thinking I can only use this in the winter months unfortunately :( Cause or else I'll be an oily mess.
DeleteWhat the frick this product sounds like a hassle to me, tbh. If I do end up trying it, it will probably be because the packaging is so cute L O L. ._. (Probably why I have so many Maybelline products)
ReplyDeleteI already have oily skin as it is, and I've already got a high end primer that does nothing for me so, ehhh.

It is a bit of a hassle, not going to lie. I think I have a bias towards the packaging :B The climate in Canada is different than in Florida...so maybe it could work for you? IDK, the humidity makes virtually nothing work for me -.-
DeleteHahah, I too also haven't owned any pore erasing primers either but I have the benefit porefessional on my list! I've heard so much good about it I totally need it soon!
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking of looking into it after buying this product. I've heard amazing things about it so I will try it out...eventually!
DeleteI have obnoxiously large pores on my nose and cheeks, so I think I'll try this out soon! Thanks for the application tips!!
ReplyDeleteHope my review helped and I hope it works for you! :)
