Maybelline Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser Review


Today I am reviewing a new product from Maybelline called Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser, which I recently bought in my Superdrug Haul for the amazing price of £7.99.  I first heard about the Maybelline Pore Eraser about six months ago. However it was called Baby Skin Pink Transformer and had only been spotted on the Asian market.  When I found out Maybelline was bringing out a similar product I was excited as I suffer from large pores on my nose and chin.  

Before buying this product I was using two primers; Benefit's Porefessional and Revlon PhotoReady Perfecting Primer.  Out of the two I would definitely buy Benefit's Porefessional but I was on the look out for something a little cheaper as Porefessional is £24.50 for 22ml.

As much as I am a fan of drug store make-up I have recently steered away from it and became in love with brands like MAC, NARS and Illamasqua.  My poor bank balance has began to hate me for my high-end make-up addiction so I am on the hunt to find the best drug store products and I think I may have found my first contender.

// Clear Gel Formula, remember a little goes a long way! //

The description on the packaging says Instant Pore Eraser; lightweight primer, pores appear instantly erases for smooth-looking skin and I have to agree. My pores instantly disappeared, even the large ones.  My skin looked perfect with just Baby Skin and moisturiser on.  The biggest surprise was when I put my Illamasqua Skin Base foundation on top of the primer, I looked airbrushed, I got so many complements on how good my skin looked and it was all down to this product.

I can definitely see this sort of primer being a problem for someone with oily skin as it is a tiny bit greasy on the skin,  If you do suffer from oily skin and are struggling to find a primer try Bourjois Happy Light Primer Matte or 
MUA Complexion Primer Matte.  But for me this has to be my new favourite primer and drug store product.

Are you a fan of Maybelline's Baby Skin? What primers do you use?

Superdrug Haul #1



I popped into Superdrug the other day on a mission to cheer myself up.  Of course I couldn't buy just one thing but I did manage to spend less than £15 and get more points on my beauty card, so it's a win win for me.


Maybelline Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser // £7.99

Of course I had to jump on the bandwagon and try the new Maybelline Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser and Superdrug currently have a buy one get the second half price.  I have been dying to try this for such a long time, ever since I read about the Asian version Maybelline Baby Skin Pink Transformer. Full blog post coming soon look out!


Maybelline Baby Lips in Hydrate // £1.50 RRP £2.99

Since Superdrug had the buy one get one half price sale I decided to buy myself another Baby Lips this time I got the Hydrate lip balm. Recently I have been wearing a lot of matte lip sticks and it causes my lips to dry out, when at home I usually drench my lips with Vaseline Lip and Aloe Vera therapy but I needed something to carry in my handbag at all times without a tint and I've fallen in love with the beauty.  Definitely worth the hype! 


Nivea Rich Moistening Day Cream for Dry & Sensitive Skin // £2.05 RRP £4.19
I'm always on the hunt for a thick moisturising day cream and this caught my eye.  Recently my skin has gotten very dry and and no matter what I use it is not moisturising enough.  Up to now this may be the "one" I've been looking for, its so thick and creamy and it doesn't make my skin greasy like others have done in the past.  I will definitely keep you all updated on this product.


I also bought some Ibuprofen as you can see because I was off to get my nose pierced after my little shopping trip, my piercer always advises me to take anti-inflammatory pain killers after.  Photos can be seen on my instagram of my shiny new piercing.
