Maybelline Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser

Hello Everyone!

I've been on the hunt for a new face primer and since I've noticed my pores have been a little more visible lately I decided to give Maybelline's Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser a try. I've heard so many good reviews on this product, so I wanted to see what all the hype was about.

About the Product

Bye-Bye Pores!
One second away from smooth, poreless skin.

  

Why You'll Love It

 

Insta-blur technology visibly smoothes pores away.
Can be worn alone or under makeup.
Non-comedogenic and fragrance-free.

For Best Results

 

Smooth a thin layer under foundation for a smooth-looking finish. Or use alone for flawless-looking skin, smoothing onto areas with visible pores.

My Thoughts

I really like this primer! I use it on my nose, cheeks and forehead. My foundation applies smoothly it doesn't matter if I use liquid or a foundation stick both apply very well and my makeup looks fresh most of the day. I have noticed that my pores look smaller since I started using this product. I can definitely tell a difference around on my cheeks. Like I said I don't have many issues with my pores being large, but when I do this is my new go to product.

When I first applied this pore eraser to my face, I noticed it felt a little greasy which concerned me. I used a small amount on my face an the greasiy feeling went away so that was good. I'm thinking that this primer feels greasy or at least to me because it has a silicone texture? It only takes a small amount to achieve a reduction in making your pores looking smaller. I wear this alone, and I throughout the day my skin looks flawless. I also wanted to mention you only need to use a small amount if you use this product as a face primer. I purchased this at Walmart for about $6.00 which was a pretty good price. If you're looking for a new face primer or want to reduce your pores I think that you should give this product a try.

Maybelline Master Fix By Face Studio Setting Spray

Hello Everyone!

Has anyone noticed that Maybelline recently has been coming out with a lot of new makeup products? I have to admit Maybelline has always been on the top of my favorite drugstore makeup brands for years. Since it's been super hot in South Carolina lately, and Summer is quickly approaching, I thought it would be a good time to share my thoughts on this makeup setting spray that I've been using.

About the Product

This lightweight layer fixes the makeup look you love all day
Boost the wear of your makeup and prevent melting and color fading
Quick-drying mist leaves skin feeling soft and fresh, not sticky or shiny

Why You'll Love It

This lightweight mist boosts the look of makeup and extends wear all day.

For Best Results

Step 1. Face Studio Master Fix Setting Spray boosts the wear of makeup. Shake well and hold 8-10” away from the face and close eyes. 
Step 2. Spray 4-6 times in a clockwise direction, finishing at the nose. 
Avoid spraying directly into eyes and lips.


My Thoughts 

Maybelline has done it again for me! I think this is a fairly new product, but I'm really glad I decided to get this. Summers are REALLY hot and humid here in the South, so I think this is a must have to have in my makeup collection. Some of you may remember that even though I love makeup, I usually skip wearing it during the Summer because it's just so hot! Well I'll probably still limit wearing my makeup in this heat, but now I feel like I have another option for the days I do wear makeup with this setting spray. I love how my makeup stays in tack and the spray is very lightweight and long lasting. I'm really glad that I can wear my makeup in hot weather without it melting. I've held off on setting sprays because I wanted to find an inexpensive one that would work well. I have found everything I need with Master Fix, and at price of $9.99 a bottle I think it's a product worth trying.


Have you tried Maybelline's Master Fix Setting Spray?  What is your favorite setting spray? 


Also...
Week after next, I'm going to be doing Maybelline Review week on the products that I recently purchased during the Spring. I know some of you have been waiting for the reviews so stay tuned!
