The Body Shop Tea Tree Pore Minimiser Review

Now having heard from everyone as well as their cat & dog about the benefit porefessional primer i just could never justify spending so much on something which may not work or react badly to my skin so i just keep putting off for now.

So with the many amazing discounts The Body Shop has to offer i took them up on one yet again and purchased what i thought would be a great product.

 
The Claims

Makes pores look smaller. Infused with Community Fair Trade organic tea tree oil, it smoothes, primes and mattifies, and leaves skin feeling fresh and pure.

The product itself is a yellowy-green shade of which does have the distinct scent of tea tree which is understandable of course considering the name.

Texture wise I've found it to be creamy and instantly sink into my skin.

Results

 With a pea sized amount it covers the areas where i need it mostly in the cheeks & t-zone,

as it does disappear within seconds once rubbed into the skin it really does make a great primer for layering underneath moisturiser as well as foundation even wearing it on its own on no make up days helps blur my imperfections while keeping my spots in check with the tea tree fighting properties.

As for the actual visibility of pores i can't say this product removes them from sight completely,

they do have the smoothed out appearance even slightly downsized,

just not completely gone.

This product makes applying make up that little bit better knowing i have a blemish fighting, pore minimising bottom layer to protect my skin instantly blurring the look of pores.

I honestly can't say bad things about this product for the price it is too,

 really its a win win.

Body Shop i salute you yet again a product I'm not disappointed by! 

The Body Shop Pore Minimiser 30ml for £7.50 

what primer could you not live without or recommend?

April Favourites

First up I've been suffering from really brittle nails and sadly my only long lasting nail broke a few days ago so this sapphire nail file (the type I prefer to use) I picked up on whim from Superdrug is the perfect tool, super handy to pop into my bag plus the little sleeve it comes in helps keep it protected too! 

 £1.49 at Superdrug,

This moisturiser is one I've used now for many years great for oily skin as the name would suggest simple oil balancing moisturiser a little mattifying and lasting moisture just what I look for and so it defiantly deserve to be in my April favourites. 

75 ml for £4.25 Superdrug/Boots,

My one and only eye make up remover, I remember I only bought the Garnier Essential 2 in 1 make-up remover because it was on offer, I've not looked at any other since it's that good. I find it just breaks down whatever products on my eye waterproof mascara too (this is due to the liquid technology you know the ones you shake to mix together), there's no horrible greasy residue left on my skin after use plus it doubles up as a face cleanser, so it'd be great if your a frequent traveller.

 £2.99 on offer at Boots 2 for £4,

Next the Aquaphor balm this was actually something I picked up after reading one of my many glossy mags but it turned out to be the wrong thing, but with a little Google and some trial and error on my part it's such a useful multi purpose product.

It's basically a lubricated oil so it's great for super dry skin but I like to use this after plucking my brows to soothe skin and once a week I slather it all over my face just to give it added moisture I remove from using scrubs most day's. Be warned a little goes a long way and yes you look like your ready to cook an egg on face it's that oily but the things you do always turn good in the end right?

Plus it's great for blisters + babys! 

40ml for £8.50 at Boots,

Another great essential product in my morning routine is the The Body Shop Pore Minimiser to blur my large pores and prevent blemishes the perfect balanced face primer for any skin type.

 30 ml for £7.50 at The Body Shop,

Now the weather's supposedly warming up I can't rely on my bobble hat to hide hair I should of washed the night before or when I'm just having a bad hair day so this amazingly wonderful product Batiste Dry Shampoo in the scent tropical (fave smell fyi) is now my best friend for the rest of the year until it becomes hat and scarf season again, let's not hope it's any time soon ha!

200 ml at Boots for £2.99.

Last of all as this is actually my first favourites posts why not add some random ones in too,

Last of all EBAY! I'm currently selling some bits to save money for my London trip in June I do work but every little helps! And although I maybe good at selling things I've tried so hard to bid and buy things but somebody ALWAYS seems to beat me at the very last second, it's so frustrating but in the long run it saves me money so I won't complain.

What's your favourite thing of the month?
