Maybelline Baby Skin Primer - Review

Hello everyone! I have a review post for you today of the controvertial new primer from Maybelline.

I bought this product quite a few weeks ago but have given it a really good test run before I decide to write this review. The first time I wore this primer I thought it was incredible; my foundation applied smoothly making my skin look pretty damn near perfect, it had a really nice feel and smell and impressed me in every way possible. However, I looked in the mirror a few hours after application and pretty much all of my make up had just 'melted' from my face. My skin felt oily and just generally 'icky'.

So why did you try it again Lucy? Well, I spent £8 of my own money on this, which is a lot when you are a student living off pocket money, and I really wanted to get my money's worth out of it. So that is what I did, I tried it several more times, using different moisturizers, foundations and powder and the same thing kept happening. I also noted that my skin had started to break out around my nose and chin (where I had been applying it), that for me was the final straw.

Bad move from Maybelline here but I would be interested to know if anyone has had the same problem? Or is it just my skin?
