Boots 17 Photo Flawless Primer

I have been looking for a good primer for ages, so when 17 was on 3 for 2 (we all love a bargain) I decided to take the plunge. I have tried a lot of primers that are mainly on the higher end of the price range, well it was a big waste of money they didn't work for me. We all make that mistake of thinking the more it is the better the quality. That's why I decided to try this, I had seen it had some good reviews when it first came out a while back.

Well after a lot of testing Ive realised that I need to go back on the hunt for a good primer! Don't get me wrong it has some good qualities, its not heavy it goes on well with no piling and its clear so theres no change in colour. It goes invisible on the skin that much that it looks like I haven't even put any on. There was literally no change in my skin at all, it didn't even it out, keep oil away or hide my pores/blemishes. I'm not sure if its aim is to cover up everything, but I just assume photo flawless means hiding all the things you don't want the camera to see. Lets face it the camera doesn't lie, so I want a primer that will!

 I do want to try the cult Shu Umera UV Primer, Ive heard great things about it. I pick it up every time but then I chicken out and put it back and run. The thing is its expensive and although I have paid that for cosmetics before I kind of have an issue with paying that price for a primer. If I knew for a fact it would work I would but its always a gamble when you buy cosmetics, I could probably have had a down payment for a house from the money I have wasted.
