Revlon PhotoReady prime + anti -shine balm review

Hi everyone,

I know this is a bit (read a lot) late but exams have been crazy however I have part 1 of my crazy boots 3 for 2 mini haul. I would have done them all together but I prefer to do more in depth reviews, unless you prefer them altogether- sound off in the comments below. Now, on with the post.

A while ago, I looked like Rudolph the red nose reindeer, the one with the big, massive, shiny red nose. In fact several people pointed it out and decided to sing the song. I do mean a while ago as I discovered powder and concealer in the magic shop, that is boots. I have to admit sometimes I do put too much on, so you can see the powder - not the flawless base I wanted.  However I heard about a balm that could be the answer. It goes by the name Revlon PhotoReady prime + anti-shine balm. 

I have to say after trying it for a bit, I have fallen in love with it. However, I'm not loving the wear time. It lasts on my face, for about 5 hours. That's good. However around my nose it lasts about 2 hours...max. However the packaging is good, as it makes it so easy to reapply. Easier than ABC ;) . It is also very sturdy ,and this makes it one less thing to worry about in my make up bag.

The product is a little on the pricey side, as it retails for £9.99. However it is surprising how much coverage it gives. I wear it with and without my make up on.

It does prime like it says it does, and it makes my cc cream so much easier to apply.

Product - 4
Packaging - 5
Price - 3.5

After my love - hate relationship with powder, I think I've finally found the answer. Will you be trying out this balm, or sticking to your trusty powder? Tell me what you think in the comments below.

Love,
That fashion freak Mill
