Does this happen to you? There you are, quite pleased with your freshly made #FOTD. You've just snapped a picture and boom, it doesn't look the same on the pic! I just had that dilemma minutes before writing this post. On the brighter side, I'd rather have it in that order than the other way around. Right? :D
Moving on, our beauty rave for today is a brand that's not available locally in the UK. Yep, you have to order it online if you want to get hold of NYX from here. As such, I've made it a point to buy this after I used up all my Maybelline Primer. In fairness, primers are super long lasting! I started using such last January and it's around August when I hit bottom.
CMK HAPPY THOUGHTS
Two words. It works! It's much better than Maybelline primer which makes sense since this is double the price. I was thinking of buying Smashbox primer but such costs PHP 2,000+, way too expensive for me. Also, I've watched youtube reviews saying Smashbox is not worth the tag, so I deferred.
I got the NYX one for PHP 840 (about £12). Tube is quite sizeable and I reckon it would take me ages to finish this one up. It actually mattifies and minimises my pores, so two thumbs up!

Wishful and final thoughts after the jump!
CMK WISHFUL THOUGHT
I have no qualms except that the product is a bit too runny for a silicone primer. It's not a deal breaker and I think I just noticed because of the consistency I got used to from my prior brand.
CMK THINKS
To be quite honest, I'm a low maintenance in terms of primers. This fits my requirement and if I really like it, I'll probably repurchase. -CMK
Now I want to try this. I'm currently using BYS' micro HD finishing powder so my face doesn't shine like a beacon during events in the evening (and I really hate or I don't retouch makeup). It works but I'm not a fan of the powdery finish. Hope this one does the trick. Thanks for sharing!
