Apparently the third Monday in January is said to be the most depressing day of the whole year. Hmm I learn something new everyday. My day has been normal so far so I can't say I feel any different, I hope you all are having a fabulous Monday and aren't having any January blues or Summertime sadness haha!
I recently ran out of my all time favourite Laura Mericer primer, and hearing the hype on baby skin/lips I thought why not give it a try, something different. Boots were also doing a buy one get one half price offer on all Maybelline products which was great (I think the deal is still on) What a pain in the ass trying to find this product was. Every boots I went to only had "testers" left which drived me nuts but eventually I found 1 left. Since I realised they had an offer on I picked up the PINK baby lips too.
On first impressions I thought the packaging was super cute! In my opinion Maybelline nailed it with the bright colours and cute massive bubble writing. I thought the size of the products were great also.
Baby Skin:
Baby skin is said to instantly erase pores, its also suitable for all skin tones and types. It is light weight & apparently only aloud for adults (ooooh) The applicator is pretty nifty I really like it actually. it is like a kind of nozzle which also allows enough but not too much primer to come out, I suppose unlike some pumps it won't break which is also a bonus.
The primer itself is clear but not see through, it looks cloudy kinda siliconey and doesn't really have a scent.
Like most people I have pores on my nose,cheeks and forehead. They're not overly noticeable but it's always great if I can hide them. I done my skincare routine, facial wash,cleanse,tone,moisturiser and then applied the baby skin primer. A little definitely goes a long way! I must admit it did feel really light on my skin and it wasn't shiny or sticky, so far so good. I let it dry in a waited for the results.
After about 5 minutes I did start to see results it made my skin look even and I did see a difference in my pores. It didn't by no means "erase" my pores completely however as soon as applied my make-up it went on smooth and effortlessly and my pores where gone and my skin was soft.
My overall opinion is that it is a decent primer for the price and it is a great size product. I seen a few people were saying it is a dupe for benefits "POREfessional" I would say the packaging is a little similar but I don't know about the actual product itself. I am planning on trying it next so I will let you all know. I really liked it and I would definitely buy it again. A must have if you don't want to pay a lot for primer. You can buy it for £7.99 from Boots.
Baby Lips:
I felt kinda like Judas buying this as I am beyond loyal to EOS lip balms. Some times curiosity kills the cat, guilty as charged! I could not believe the price it was FABULOUSLY CHEAP! the line has 6 different lip balms, in super funky bright colours pink (Pink Punch),blue(Hydrate),yellow(Intense Care),green(Mint Fresh),orange(Cherry Me),purple(Peach Kiss). Baby lips is said to gives intense care and 8 hour hydration, and is nourishing for baby soft lips with SPF20.
I got mines in "Pink Punch" as I seen online that it was actually a beautiful pink shade. The packaging is so cute like the baby skin. I personally would say they could well be a dupe for EOS Lip balm hands down, because I own every EOS lip balm They smell unbelievable like EOS, and kept my lips hydrated for hours and unlike EOS some of them have a colour tint to them which I adore. Basically I can't fault baby lips at all I LOVE,LOVE,LOVE them and can't believe I didn't try them sooner. I will be purchasing them all for sure! Because I live in the UK getting EOS lip balm can be annoying because I have to order them online, where as I could get these on my high street so much more convenient!
I recommend these 100% definitely exceeded my expectations. So I don't see why I should pay more when these are so cheap and just as good if not better. You can buy these for Boots,Superdrug etc for £2.99 WOW! (Boots are doing,buy one get one half price.)
Have you tried Maybellines Baby Skin or Baby Lips? How did you find them? Let me know below. As always Thankyou for reading!
