Retexturizing Face Primer SPF20

"Maximise your Base by preparing your skin first with Retexturising Face Primer. Colourless, weightless, light reflecting oil-free serum gel. Helps neutralise imperfections while giving foundation a fault-free base. Suitable for all skin types. This product is like having a mini face-lift, smoothes out fine lines and wrinkles giving you a younger complexion. Apply to eyes to stop eyeshadow creasing and to smooth out lips, for longer lasting colour."

The product comes in a compact, black tube with a small nozzle to easily dispense the right amount of product. I love the scent - it's very delicate and reminds me of days spent in the sun (this may be one of the sunscreen ingredients). It has a broad spectrum spf20, UVA/UVB protection against sun damage: personally, I think it's brilliant - definitely, one of the selling points of this base and that set it apart from the others on the market.

It feels silky and velvety on the skin and doesn't have any colour to it. In my opinion doesn’t at all leave a silicone feel on your skin. I've been using it everyday for a couple of weeks and I haven't experienced any clogged pore or blemish. It really does a good job at covering my pores, I wouldn’t say it comes them completely, but it definitely makes them less noticeable. In regards to the finish wouldn't say it's totally matte - but actually let the glow comes through - and doesn't make you greasy after few hours, which I really love.

Overall, this primer really delivers in ironing out imperfections and blurring pores. It really smooths out the complexion, bringing the best out of your foundation. Definitely one of the best primers I’ve tried.

Invisible Blotting Powder

I haven’t ever tried anything from Daniel Sandler, however I have heard some really great things about the brand so i was really excited to try this.

I have combination/oily skin so tend find myself with an oil slick on my face just a few hours after freshly applying my make up.  In the past I’ve simply applied more powder to hide the shine, but this ends up adding more colour or leaving my skin looking very cakey. However, let me introduce you to Daniel Sandler's Invisible Blotting Powder, this does what it says on the tin. 

The website stats this product gives ‘a shine-free, no-colour finish. Technologically advanced formula won't cake, dry out skin--or alter the shade of foundation.’

This blotting powder is an invisible (translucent) powder, which banishes shine without altering the shade of your foundation. The shine- free, technologically advanced formula doesn’t cake or dry out your skin, it simply leaves you with a gorgeous, matte complexion. I find that it gives a good matte finish and kept shine at bay for around 3-4 hours. I really like to use it to set my make up because I find it really keeps oiliness at bay. I also love that it’s really easy to touch up on the go, using the included pad and mirror. 

Overall, I really like this blotting powder. It’s definitely changed how I feel about using powders and will definitely continue using this everyday.
