Product Review: Rimmel Fix and Perfect Pro Primer

Rimmel's Fix and Perfect Pro Primer (£4.99)

I rarely use primers, not so much because I don't like them, but because I'm lazy and just see it as another step in my make up routine (that already takes waaaay too long!).  On those occasions where I have an extra long day ahead of me, or even the odd night out and I feel a primer is necessary, I look for only one thing; the ability to keep my skin looking fresh for as long as possible.

Enter: Rimmel's Fix and Perfect Pro Primer.
 
I actually bought this primer way back in 2010 when my make-up bag was becoming more equipped, however I finished the tube and never really considered repurchasing.  Recently, the product has come back on the beauty blogging radar, so I thought I would pick it up from my local Boots and give it another go.
    The product itself is very creamy and feels almost like you are applying a moisturiser. If you're looking for good pore blurring ability, I wouldn't recommend this primer as the best for that job; try a silicone based product like Maybelline Baby Skin or Benefit Porefessional.  In terms of helping make up last just that much longer and keeping that pesky shine at bay, this is definitely your guy.
    What I love most is the thin consistency, it sinks in with ease and doesn't feel as though you're adding just another layer on top of your skin.  It is so simple and doesn't claim to do anything it doesn't do! Priced at only £4.99 in Boots, this primer a lot more more effective than some higher-end brands, and for a quarter of the price, you can't really go wrong!

Have you tried this primer? What do you love/hate about it? I'd love to know!
