First Impression: Maybelline New York Baby Skin

     All humans have pores. Shocking right? Now that we have all passed basic human science, we can move on to basic treatments to make these pores less visible; at least that's what this product is trying to sell to us.
Maybelline New York came out with a new product similar to Baby Lips. I have never tried baby lips because my hemp chapstick works just fine also because is $1.75 vs. $5 or however much it costs.

     I'm too cheap for that. But nevertheless...

     This new product is called Baby Lips. I had watched a review of this from Bunny on Youtube, and she didn't seem too impressed with it but I gave Baby Skin the benefit of the doubt and gave it a chance. 

     I bought it at my local Walmart, it cost $5.94.  

When I first applied the product it didn't feel as greasy and oily as I thought it would be. It came out clear and went on clear, I didn't more face shine than usual after applying Baby Skin. It was very light and felt like moisturizer on my skin. 

Below is chart showing my makeup free face before and after applying Baby Skin and then again after 30 minutes of it being on my face.

     None of the photos have been edited (only cropped and resized for veiwing purposes.) I don't notice much of a difference at all. At least not as much as I was expecting. Maybelline makes it seem like there will be a huge difference, although I will admit that after 30 minutes my face did look a little more "airbrushed" but only slightly.

     One question I do have is that if I regularly apply Baby Skin, will it eventually minimize pose visibility over time? If not, invest in that kind of product and not this one time application serum where the results are minimum.

     Based off the "instant pore eraser" advertisement, I give this product a 4/10 and I do NOT plan to buy it again. The results were not worth the price.

My Dark Circles (Slam Poem)

     I finally had inspiration recently, of course this inspiration came at 4am but no matter. Some editing later I got a poem I'm content with. It's called My Dark Circles. I feel like many people can relate to the whole getting asked if your tired when you decide not to wear makeup one day. This poem is about the story behind my dark circles, metaphorically and literally.

This is a video of me slamming My Dark Circles.

Everyday Look (Winged Eyeliner)

     This is my everyday look when I'm out for a night. It's more of a formal look, I won't wear this to Walmart or when I'm at a friends house but if I'm on a date or just out doing some shopping I will do the winged eyeliner.

     The following video is not a tutorial, more of a "how I do my face and what I use to do it" type of video.

 
     The products I used are listed in the description of the video but if you don't have the time or effort to click the video, I will list them below and add photos as well.
