A new primer?!!

Applying a primer is weirdly my favourite thing to do when I'm putting make up on. I've only ever used the Clarins Beauty Flash Balm , MAC and Smashbox primers in the past, with The Clarins Beauty Flash Balm being my ultimate favourite. 

When I was in Boots the other week I saw that Maybelline had a new primer (mainly because the packaging was so bright) and decided I'd try it for day time use to save wearing Clarins to work. 


I think I need to firstly add how this primer feels like silk when you apply it onto your face. You only need to use a pea sized amount for a good coverage of your face. My pores were less visible instantly and my face felt really soft (baby skin soft). I use an Estée Lauder foundation which is very hard wearing anyway even without a primer. I was a bit disappointed  that the Maybelline baby skin doesn't keep the foundation in place as well as the Clarins Flash balm, but as a cheap alternative for daytime use, it is pretty good. I'll continue using this primer during the day for now, however when this tube runs out, I doubt I'll re purchase unless it's on special offer. 
During my trip to Boots, I also purchased the Maybelline eraser eye which I'll do a review on after I've given it a few more uses.
