Maybelline Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser

You can pretty much guarantee that when one of the higher end beauty brands brings out a product it won't be long before one of the drug store brands bring out a dupe for it! Nails inc brought out the magnetic nail polishes and Barry M were not too far behind with their offering, Clinique brought out the chubby sticks and Revlon were not far behind with their Just Bitten Lip Pencils.

Now it appears that it has happened again... queue Maybelline and their newest product the Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser.

Now on first look at the name and the claims of this product, you cant help but notice the similarities to Benefits Porefessional. Heres what Maybelline says about it:

"Maybelline Baby Skin provides a matte finish and leaves the skin fresh and protected. The gel texture in Baby skin instantly helps to vanish pores and makes the feel light"

Now I am an absolutely massive fan of the Benefit Porefessional and have been using it for well over 12 months but at £24.50 its not exactly pocket friendly; although in fairness it lasts well. As soon as I read about Maybelline's latest offering on Lily Pebbles blog I knew I had to try it and when I spotted it on offer in Boots at a price of £7.99 and an offer of buy one get one half price, 2 instantly fell into my basket!

Now I only picket this up on Saturday so I have only used it once but so far so good. The formula is silicone based one and glides on in a very silky fashion you become to expect from such formulas. I love how cute the packaging is, bright and colourful and is nice and compact. You get 22ml of product (the same amount as the Porefessional) which for £7.99 and considering how little you need, I think this is a total beauty bargain!

I cant wait to continue to try this product and can see it becoming one of those products that is going to become a must have in make up bags all over the country!

Have you tried this?? What do you think???
