I didn't jump on the Baby Lips bandwagon. To be honest, I haven't even tried them yet! I love my lipbalm but they just didn't really appeal to me and I'm not overly keen on tinted lipbalms. When I saw Baby skin however, I was slightly more intrigued and decided to give it a go.
Firstly the packaging. The tube is pretty cute and the colours straight away remind me of the Benefit Porefessional. I like the nozzle of the tube as it allows the product to come out slowly and in small amounts. Instantly I disliked the name of this primer. I understand it's the brand, like Baby Lips, but I just don't think that it suits the product. On both the front and the back of the packaging they have felt the need to print 'Only for adults'! If this was required then Maybelline should have realised the name was no use!
The product is designed to be used as a primer but can also be worn on it's own. It is a thick gel and has a similar consistency to Porefessional. I am not sure if this was made as a dupe of the Benefit primer but it claims to do the same thing and has similar packaging so it will obviously be compared. I have Porefessional and like it but it isn't something I use very often. My pores are not big and not particularly visible however application of this did nothing to mask them at all. It feels nice to apply but doesn't leave quite as silky a finish as the Benefit equivalent. My makeup applied well and didn't soak into my skin as much, meaning I was able to use less. It stayed put all day but I have that result with most primers.
This claims to be a pore eraser and in my opinion it just doesn't do that job. The tiny tube contains only 22ml of product, the same quantity as Porefessional. This is £7.99 which, although much cheaper than Benefit's offering, is not cheap enough considering it doesn't really do the job it claims to do. I will use this as a primer, because my pores are not big and don't bother me, but I don't see myself repurchasing.
Have you used Baby Skin? I'd love to know what you think!
