The secret to the perfect selfie is here. No retouch needed! I've talked about The Body Shop's All-In-One Instablur launch here, now it's time for a full review.
The Body Shop All-In-One Instablur
5-Action Perfector:
- 12-hour shine controlling
- Pore smoothing
- Blemish hiding
- Complexion unifying
- Makeup extending
Contains Vitamin E and Community Fair Trade Marula Oil. Use alone or before foundation.
Ingredients:
Swatch:
Pros:
- It comes in a universal (clear) shade.
- It blurs out fine lines and minor blemishes - giving skin a soft-focused effect.
- It has no scent.
- It has no SPF, hence no white cast, making the skin photo-ready even with flash photography.
- It has Vitamin E and marula oil to moisturize the skin.
- It has powders to mattify the skin.
- It feels velvety smooth on the skin.
- It controls oil for a long time - no shine even after 6 hours. When my nose starts getting shiny, I just blot with an oil-control film and I don't top if off with powder. My makeup still looks fresh by then.
- It makes my makeup last longer.
- Very recommended for oily skin!
Cons:
- It has no tint or coverage.
- It contains dimethicone.
I'll share with you a really simple look using just 4 of my favorite, trusty products from The Body Shop.
The finish is poreless and matte, and I can just add on a highlighter if I want a dewy finish.
Products used:
- The Body Shop All-In-One Instablur
- The Body Shop All-In-One Face Base in 035
- The Body Shop Brow & Liner Kit in 03 Dark Brown/Black
- The Body Shop Lip Gloss in Vanilla
I don't use Instablur every single day, since it still contains silicone. Silicone (which came in the form of dimethicone for this product) is inherent in most makeup bases/primers, as it fills in the dips and craters on the surface of your skin, resulting in a smooth, even surface for your base to cling on to. However, it may clog pores when it's not thoroughly removed at the end of the day.
I like using The Body Shop All-In-One Instablur when I know I'm going to have a long day ahead, when I know it'll be hot or humid and I don't want my makeup to melt off, or when there are special events I have to attend. Can't risk an oily face when there will be lots of pictures taken! I love how easy it is for me to achieve a perfect base makeup whenever I use Instablur.
Price: P1,195.00
Available in all The Body Shop stores nationwide

I think your product is also effective for wrinkles. Hehehe. Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteIt actually is. Galing nga e!
DeleteAng ganda naman ng FOTD :) Ang funny ng itsura nung swatch wahahaha!
ReplyDeleteWeird yung swatch, hindi photogenic. Hahaha! :D
DeleteBlur creams are <3! I don't get reactions to silicone, but I'm also quite stringent with makeup removal. I double cleanse and even use a scrub when I have particularly heavy makeup on that day. Just to be sure.
ReplyDeleteFirst time I've used one and I like it. :) Ooh I have yet to learn that. I'm so lazy when it comes to makeup removal.
DeleteOne of my fave primers lately. <3
ReplyDeleteI saw your post nga! Galing ng Instablur ♥
DeleteThis sounds funny, but I can actually see the blurring effect in the FOTD. Parang may soft glow effect. :D
ReplyDeleteHaha. Tama ka. ;) Galing ng concept and effect ng Instablur. :D
