[REVIEW] Banila co. Prime Primer #Classic Matte


Hey guys! Sorry for the lack updates in my blog.
It's because I'm partially busy + lazy. Spending lots of time study and playing games or just be a silent reader of some beauty blogs..lol

After my friend said yesterday that I haven't post anything in my blog, makes me realize I shouldn't do that. It's because we have a three days of days off so I took the chance to write one plus it's raining here and it makes me feel happy.. :)

Anyway, today I'll be reviewing my most favorite make-up primer ever that is Banila co Prime Primer in Classic Matte. Well, this is basically isn't new to those who knows Banila co. It's been around since 2010 , I think and it was the bestseller in Korea. In 2011, this primer is crowned as the best seller in Japan which is considered a big deal. They added a lot of version since then based on the skin type/skin problem.

I look around since these past years for this but ebay just sell them too expensive! As I remembered, the first time I found this on ebay, the price is about RM89+ . I thought it was too expensive and I never tried the samples so I'm afraid it would not work as expected.

Just recently qoo10 start operating, I saw a seller selling this with quite a cheap price!They have sales going on that time and I think this is about RM39+. That's A LOT of difference from the ebay price.

However, only two types were available with the seller, which is hydrating and classic matte and it was just right because I'm targeting the classic matte ver!

 I think because it is duty free so the price is lower?

 Too bad everything is in Korean language :(

 I thought the bottle looks cheap at first..haha..

 Come in a dispenser pump which is very convenient for me.


I don't know how to describe the texture but it is somewhere milky and moist. I love the way that the primer feels so light on face and it smoothen out my skin before wearing make-up.

I had quite a lot of dry patches because of the cleanser I used but my skin is really oily. This primer is just right for me because it doesn't feel oily and it preps my skin so beautifully and cover the pores.

It smells florally but not too strong. It is just right plus I love everything that smells good!

It's white in color but it dries clear. I used this almost my entire face because every parts of my face needs primer to control the oil. As far as I used this for almost two months, I saw that the primer really helps my make-up stays longer on face and it controls my sweat too.

Since it is so hot here like almost 35C everyday, I do sweat a lot and sometimes it just bothers me because I can't even wear my make-up longer because it is easy to spoilt. The primer just help controlling the sweat but I don't really say that it clog the pores. I don't have any breakouts of using this so no worries :)

Ok what else? I don't know what to say anymore but I love everything about this primer. Needs to stock up soon coz I'm running out of it :D

Anyway, thanks for reading!

Mizu said...

yea..banila co did not available in other country than Korea.Probably you should opted for online shopping

Rini Cesillia said...

i just saw this on sale yesterday at my country's gmarket.. hesitant whether to purchase it or not.. but seems like it's a good product although i don't like matte things.

Mizu said...

to be honest, it's not matte at all. as i said, the texture is more to milky and moist. It's wearable even you have dry skin.

Bethany said...

Ohhh, nice. Sounds like it'd work well for Australian summer, too, when my make up feels like it's melting off. xD

Mizu said...

Yea really recommend this if you did not like matte :D

hi!!! i live in Borneo, Indonesia so I think we have same situation. Recently, I use Holika Aqua petite bb cream. I like its dewy finish but in the mid of the day it turns from dewy to oily. Has this prime a good oil control? well, i'm not a of matte finish but it's better then oily. what do you think?

Mizu said...

it is really good in oil control. well as i said, it is not really on the matte side, i think it's quite moisturising :D
