So it’s time to prime…and Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Skin Transformer is a pretty nice pick.

(3/5)

I randomly purchased this product at Target for less than $10. I’ll admit that my expectations for it were pretty low – I find Maybelline products to be hit or miss (ie. I love their Dream Smooth Mousse foundation but hate the Dream Matte Mouse Makeup — a review of each will be posted soon!).

What I found with Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Primer:

• a little bit is all you need (if you apply too much – your foundation/concealer will slip around your face)
• it is great to use if you do not feel like wearing too much makeup on your skin (i.e. if you are going to the gym, running outside, etc.)
• the packaging is ugly but you can definitely look past it (maroon and pastel pink NEVER look good together — what were they thinking?!)
• it truly does a great job of hiding little lines and helps to even out the skin
• the rosy tint that it claims to add is barely noticeable – thankfully – that is what blush is for :)
• it is perfect for everyday use (for work, school, etc. – basically when you want to look nice without using your prized picks from Sephora)
• the skin feels super soft and pores are barely visible
• it is accessible – think Harmon’s, Target, Walmart, CVS, & wherever Maybelline is sold, which is pretty much everywhere — do gas stations sell makeup yet? They probably should. :)
• great for all skin types, colors & textures
• considering the price & the amount that you get – it is a great deal for a good primer!

I would repurchase it.
