It's hard to believe that only a few weeks a go I was completely sold on The Body Shop's Insta-Blur and here I am writing about a new love. I was really excited to receive this sample as it is a product I have heard a lot about but wasn't completely on my radar in an "I need to buy this" kind of way.
This primer is like liquid silk. Honestly, I have never had my skin feel so smooth as when I am applying this. Everything from my complexion to my base looks and feels better as a result. I also find this quite pore filling as it does have a silicon texture to it. I would go so far as to say that this fills in pores better than my insta-blur and that isn't even this primer's main claim.
When it comes to longevity I don't usually have issues regardless of primer. The real thing that makes this such a stand out product to me is what a change it made in the appearance of my base and concealer. My under eye area, which is usually the most concealer heavy place on my face, looked as though there was no product on the area at all. As for my foundation, there was no caking in my usual problem areas such as dry patches or the nose.
The texture of my skin was flawless and truly looks as though there was no product present, which is my personal goal. I really believe it has been all thanks to this primer as I haven't incorporated any new base products into my routine lately besides this. This is something that is definitely worth the splurge and that I will be picking up the full size of when the time comes!
What is your favourite primer of all time?
This sounds amazing! I'm always on the hunt for a new primer, I still haven't found one I absolutely looove! xx

Sounds amazing. I really want to try it under my eyes in store before buying, I don't have deep wrinkles or anything but I always get that line of excessive concealer popping out. Even with eye creams nothing has done the job. Do you reccomend this?

Prime Time is my ALL TIME favorite makeup primer! I agree liquid silk is exactly how I would describe it! The feeling is just amazing, and my foundation applies so smooth and flawlessly. It also does a great job at making my foundation last all day on my face :)

It really is great! I was doing some research and saw there were a few different kinds as well, the dewey skin one sounds great.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely do if you get a chance, it's amazing! x
ReplyDeleteThe Smashbox one is on my to-try list for sure! I really would love to know how they compare.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, I will definitely check yours out. x
ReplyDeleteThe only way I can avoid that build up is blending my concealer to the point where it's impossible for it to crease, such as applying it with a sponge. If you're looking for a product to help I would definitely look up reviews on primers focused on eyes, I think bareMinerals actually has an under eye primer if I remember correctly.
ReplyDeleteI can be a bit unimpressed by primers as well, but this one is truly great!
ReplyDeleteThis could be the one! Definitely try it if you get the chance.
ReplyDeleteWow this product looks great!! Awesome review! :)

Oh my god I want this stuff so bad, I've only ever heard awesome stuff! Have you tried Benefits Porefessional and Clarins offering? Just wondering how it stands against them cause it sounds so similar! Is it clear or slightly tinted? Ooooh I need it!
