A review? Double take here - I am doing a....REVIEW?!At long last I have become inspired, and utterly utterly bored due to crazy ass rain outside. So yes lovelies, back on to my reviews, and I am excited!
Here we go, products that have been tried and tested by yours truly :)
Smashbox Photo Finish Primer
This stuff is a daily use for me; primer's are bases for foundation (simpleton!). Before this.. I think I may have mentioned or reviewed my previous primer? It's been that long since I've used it I can't even remember it's specific name! It was from the L'Oreal range though, and was clear and mattifying :) Weeellllll pretty ladies it is long gone. This smashbox one is incredible. I started using it after my mummy bought me it (thanks lovely!) to give it a go, she was all.. the usual.. "the girl at the counter recommended it for young skin!! she said it's brilliant!!" and I was all "Mum, you say that for everything you buy me......" ugh. I thought, this stuff is expensive so I doubt I'll buy it again. It took a while to get used to because the texture is so different from my L'Oreal one which actually feels greasier despite it's "Mattifying" claims. It was only after a month or so using smashbox, when I returned to my L'Oreal on a spur of the moment day, that I reeeeeallly noticed the difference and it was huge! L'Oreal just felt so odd and greasy and strange compared to this. This dries faster, smooths amazingly and really keeps my makeup smooth and matte for much longer than L'oreal or without any primer (having said that, ofcourse I still go shiny because I have the oiliest face EVER).
Overall a brilliant product and sadly I feel I will be forced to repurchase this because it's so awesome. A little goes a long way though, so I feel it's worth its price :)
(price is around £20-£24 I believe, dear for makeup in my opinion, coming from a drugstore cosmetic buyer! ;) )
and VOILA! There it is. :)
If you've tried this or are interested in trying, please let me know I'd love to hear what you think of it :)
