Maybelline Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser.

Maybelline Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser (£7.99).

I can't believe how quickly this has flown off the shelves since it launched, it's pretty much been sold out everywhere! I've read a lot of blog reviews calling this the high street version of the Benefit Porefessional Primer. I'm personally not a mega fan of the Benefit Porefessional- I do like it but I find that towards the end of the day it thins out my makeup and the shine begins to come through. 

So what about Baby Skin? Well I love the teal and pink packaging and tubes are always my favourite kind of packaging for ease of use and minimal waste. Maybelline Baby Skin is a clear gel-like product that glides onto the skin and is easily absorbed. I find that it blurs my pores, making my foundation go further and last longer throughout the day. It helps to keep my oily skin at bay along with my favourite face products. I've been using this everyday and can understand why it's so popular! Have you tried Baby Skin yet?

Clinique Pore Correcting Serum.

Clinique Pore Refining Solutions Correcting Serum (£38, from Clinique). 

My love for Clinique is ever-growing this month and the latest product I added to the collection. Although I'm loving my 3-Step Skincare routine, I still found that I needed some extra help with clearing my pores. Clinique make some pretty serious claims that this Pore Refining Solutions Correcting Serum- after one use, pores are visibly reduced by 33% and after two weeks, pores look 58% smaller. Wow right? 

This my friends, is the Holy Grail of all the skincare products for me. I can't believe how much smaller my pores looked after just one use of this! I couldn't photograph a before and after because the Clinique lady applied it in store and I haven't been able to stop using it since! You use this after cleansing and moisturising the skin, just as a serum or primer. I use the teeny-tiniest amount of this serum (because I'm stingy but also because you don't need it) on my nose, cheeks and chin. It has a matte finish and as if by magic, reduces the size of pores right before your eyes! Now obviously, this product won't work if your pores are clogged full of makeup, dirt and pollution. You don't have to use Clinique stuff (but I would recommend it!) but I'd for sure recommend regular cleansing and exfoliation to provide a good clean skin base. It's a bit on the pricey side for my usual budget but it's sooooooooo worth it!

In a nutshell: Want smaller pores? Get this. Simple.
