I don't know where to start other than by saying that I am well aware that this blog post has been long overdue. I apologise for my absence but unfortunately a lot has gone on in my life lately which has meant that I had to put my blog aside until things settled down. However I'm finally feeling ready to get back into it all and start blogging again! :)
Today's post is about the Primark PS Pro Mattifying primer. I received this sample in the October GlossyboxUK and I must say that although I hadn't tried any of the Primark make-up range, I was quite excited to give this one a go! The product I received was in full size, which meant that I have been able to use it almost every day for the past month and really get to see what it's like on my skin.
So, let's begin by talking about the scent. I don't know whether I have mentioned it before but I'm usually not a fan of makeup/skincare that's really scented. However I do also think that the worst thing is slapping on a load of makeup that smells like a cocktail of chemicals mixed in together...
With it being a Primark product, I didn't really know what to expect. I went ahead to open it assuming that it would probably smell like a mix of cheap chemicals but I was completely wrong!
The primer is slightly floral scented-it's almost like a clean smell which is great because it does not linger once it has been absorbed into the skin.
I also really like the texture, it's super soft and easy to apply and I particularly love how it is non greasy! Which in turn, really helps to create a matte base for you to apply your foundation.
I have to also add that I am probably one of the best people to go to when it comes to testing the durability of a beauty product because I literally tend to leave my makeup on right until I'm about to get into bed (so so lazy!). So this has meant that I have really been able to see how long my foundation stayed on for whilst using this primer. And I must say that I was really pleased!
Although I haven't really tried many primers in the past that would enable me to compare this Primark one with, I do think that for anyone who is looking for a cheap and cheerful primer that will do it's job well-I definitely recommend giving this one a go! It retails at just £3 so you'd really not be losing out on much if you didn't like it :)
I'd like to hear what you guys thought of it if you've tried this primer before. Otherwise let me know what primers you have used and which ones are your favourites...
Thanks for reading and I hope that you've found this post helpful!
