THOUGHTS: Maybelline Baby Skin Primer

 Of course, drugstore primers are both a blessing and a slight curse. Though there isn't a hefty price tag, It does often brake me out, or not even fulfil its job as a primer. So with that in mind, I was in fact a little skeptical when returning home with the product at hand.

The Sunday Edit: Small Drugstore Haul

So instead of revealing my week to you all, (which to be honest, hasn't been much) I thought I would make it a tad more interesting and share a few bits I picked up at the drugstore. Some are standard repurchases and others are what have been cropping up more recently; curiosity and advertising simply won me over. 

The Foundation Routine

Having a clear but still somewhat natural base has always been a slight goal. So through much experimentation and research ... on blogs of course; I have managed to round up and form a core collection of products that work for me and my skin type on an everyday basis. I can also happily add that all products are drugstore and so thankfully don't break the bank.

THOUGHTS: BourJois Happy Light Primer

This was another new released base purchased in the ever adored 3 for 2 Boots Offer. I am constantly on the look out for a high performing budget primer that will keep the oils at bay. So when drugstore brands release their own version I'm always eager to give it ago in a hopes that eventually one will tick all the boxes. I've read the odd post on this just before the public could get their hands on them but once entering stores, it hasn't received much hype. 

THOUGHTS: Nivea Express Hydration Primer

Though the drugstore has skilfully mastered most beauty products that have hit the high end counters, I still find that primers are an aspect they have yet to perfect. I must admit, I've tried my fair share of budget primers but none seem to give me that long lasting, air brushed finish I desire that will also keep me matte. So winter is well on its way and I figured that if this worked well, would kill two birds in one stone, making my morning routine slightly more time efficient.
