This is my first review post. I'm trying to come up with a catchy name..like Sam Schuerman used to have Friday Favorites and Fudgeroos but now she has Sunday Sizzles and Fizzles; WhatWouldLizzyDo has her Woops and Womps!; and Melissa Raymond (Melmphs) has Friday Favorites and a Possible Poo. Those are all creative catchy names that really draw people in and make it more fun. I like Woot or Poot but I feel like I can come up with something better. Help me think..Any and all recommendations will be taken into consideration!!! =)
So let's get started girlfriends!
I've been seeing this primer all over the internet and really wanted to try it. I've actually never used a primer before so I wasn't too sure what it would be like. Typically I just moisturize then apply my favorite BB cream (Dream BB by Maybelline). I was really curious about this product. The name is actually what got me. Baby Skin. It sounds kind of weird..but then it sounds like it would be soooo smoooooth and soft, so how could anyone not try it?! I picked mine up at Target for $5.99. That's definitely a good price for this type of product when I know that there are primers triple that price. The packaging is really cute. It's a blue tube with pink writing. Very eye catching of course.

It has .67 oz of product. It claims to instantly erase the appearance of pores. The product comes out thick and clear. Let me just say now..a little bit goes a long way! You do not need a lot of this product!!! I may or may not have learned that the hard way..LOL

[Side note: A lot of youtubers are comparing this to the Benefit Porefessional, I can't comment about the comparison because I do not own the Benefit one..just sayin'.]
Anyway, I don't have large or very noticeable pores. Unless you're invading my personal space, you wont see them but, I know they're there. When I first applied this, I took too much and ended up with a greasy mess on my face! It was gross. I had to wash my face and try again. The second try was much better. I applied a very small amount on my finger and dotted it on and around my nose, and my forehead as well. It's seriously as smooth as butter. It doesn't really rub in like it felt as if it was sitting on top of my skin..which obviously it was but I guess I expected it to..sink in? or something. It covered the appearance of the pores on my face as soon as I applied it! AWESOME! It also created a nice smooth base to apply any other makeup over. I wouldn't recommend using this by itself. I have tried it two ways. One way using it as a base and applying my BB cream and powder over top. The second way by itself and some powder over top. I do not like it alone it needs a foundation or something to stick to it.

I highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a cost effective and great primer! Not only will this fit the budget of the makeup hoarding non working college girl or recent graduate (like myself) but also the working woman who enjoys high end products but maybe doesn't want to dish out the money just for a primer.
Thank you Maybelline for not only making my holy grail BB cream but, now for making this my go to daily product as well.
Thanks for stopping by and reading my blog. Hope you all enjoyed it!
